to store heavy equipment with alternative of fencing in south part of
their property or use the alleyway. Mr. Rice presented snapshots showing
blockage of alleyway at this time, arguing other buildings in the alleyway
have already obstructed it; therefore, in effect, this is a deadend alley
serving only the petitioners.
The remaining portion to the north and east would remain open in order to
serve apartments and business firms Friendly Auto Parts, Carroll Boyd and
barber shop establishment. Comm. Betts voiced his opinion, in that he
believed the Fire and Police Depts. needed to be contacted on closing
of alleyways. Mr. Rice said there would be a chain link fence installed
with large double gates to serve either fire or police vehicles.
Petitioner France stated he had experienced a poisoning of his dog
and the Police Dept. suggested closing deadend.
Comm. Stender moved, seconded by Comm. Morgan that alleyway in question be
closed with recommendation to be taken to the City Council for final ac-
tion on 1-4-1979 when public hearing is formally set. Motion received 6
affirmative votes and 1 abstaining vote cast by Comm. Betts. MOTION CARRIED.
DISCUSSION: LEGAL BOUNDARY ESTABLISHMENT: BETWEEN KELLOGG VALLEY INCORP-
ORATION PROPOSAL AND ANNEXATION PROPOSAL, W. & S. OF L.R.A.F.B.
Mr. Clarence Phillips, representing Kellogg Valley interests, displayed
a map depicting proposed area to be incorporated. He reiterated the fact
that residents of said area need permission from the cities of North Little
Rock, Sherwood and Jacksonville in order to incorporate and bring matter
to a judge for final action.
Mr. Walter Burroughs, representing Metropolitan Trust Co., stated his ob-
jections to incorporating or annexing to any entity at this time because
of increase in millage. He was informed by Comm. Lock he could come into the
city utilizing current use assessment under agricultural classification,
thereby receiving a more reasonable tax rate.
Mayor Reid outlined his proposal to annex a fifty-foot strip dividing both
entities, thereby allowing Jacksonville an opportunity to grow to the West
of present city limit lines.
Secy. Gerren presented a map that separated Kellogg Valley incorporation
proposal from Planning Comm. proposal to annex to Jacksonville approx-
imately 1,200 acres, 843 acres of which is owned by Metropolitan Trust
Co. with the Bayou Meto being the natural boundary line for separation.
Final consensus of commission body was to hold this item of business in
abeyance until such time Commissioner Lock, City Atty. Groce and City
Engineer Smith could work up a legal description and bring same back to
Planning Commission when feasible.

Others Present: City Attorney, Paul Groce; Tommy Bond, Bond Engineers; The

people.
Special Planning Commission meeting was called to order by Chairman Cavender
at 7:10 p.m. and quorum was declared.
Chairman Cavender distributed a formal Agenda and stated he wished it would
be followed throughout the hearing.
STATEMENT OF INTRODUCTION: (Purpose of Hearing)
Chairman Cavender stated purpose of special hearing was to hear the outcome
of what progress had been made between the Stonewall POA, Veteran 1 S Adm., and
PFS on differences that have developed concerning Phase IV subdivision con-
struction. He said the final decision would be made at this meeting to either
approve or disapprove said phase because the thirty day time period had come at
this date, as plat had been held in abeyance from December 19, 1978 meeting.
Chrm. Cavender recognized Mr. Jerry Fuqua, spokesman for POA.
REMARKS -STONEWALL POA REPRESENTATIVE:
Mr. Fuqua presented petitions signed by 206 individuals that requested, in part,
that the Planning Commission rescind former approval of Phase IV until such
time irregularities could be resolved between POA and developer. Mr. Fuqua
then read a prepared 18-page report which expressed his opinion of said phase.
He reported that the POA wanted Phase IV left exactly as it had been advertised
on brochures and the POA disapproved strongly of more houses on smaller lots
and few open spaces provided. Also, he said PFS acted with decit and deception
when they revised the orginal sketch plat to depict said differences and this
constituted a breach of faith. He alleged the POA and Veterans Adm. had not
been given the opportunity to have a voice in development of subdivision as
afforded in by-laws.
Mr. Fuqua reported the POA had met with -the Veterans Adm. and PFS on afore-
mentioned problem, but he did not go into detail on outcome of these pro-
ceedings.
Two communiques~ from PFS were outlined by Mr. Fuqua and said notices were
discussed thoroughly. Mr. Fuqua contended a letter dated December 28, 1978,
to the Planning Comm. from Mr. W. P. Gulley, Jr. Pres. of PFS was not written
by Mr. Gulley because of wording/phrasing of last paragraph in said letter.
The second statement of record, dated Dec. 28, 1978 drafted by lL P. Gulley,
Jr. was mentioned because it stated the bill of assurance for Phase IV would
JACKSONVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION
PLN COM.MEETING -JANUARY 16, 1979
PAGE TWO
have a minimum of 1,400 sq. feet of floor area. Mr. Fuqua contended on 70 1 x
120 1 lots, 1,400 sq. foot house could be placed, but not architecturally com-
patible with surrounding houses in other phases of sub. Mr. Fuqua summed up
by stating PFS, in his opinion, was trying to go back on the original PUD plan
in order to make more of a profit, as amenities had been deleted almost en-
tirely, common areas filled in with houses, much smaller lots (180 vs. 125)
and the uniqueness of design would be eliminated from subdivision development
overall plan. He remarked that the POA membership believed the plat would not
have been approved by the Planning Comm. if all the irregularities had been
honestly brought forth with 11 everyone 1 S 11 prior knowledge of upcoming plat.
Chairman Cavender rebutted by stating the Planning Comm. meetings are held and
advertised for the public to be held the first Tuesday of each month at 7:30
p.m., City Hall. ·
Mr. Fuqua reported the revised preliminary plat of Phase IV was received by the
V. A. on 12-20-1978 and not at an earlier date as Mr. Tommy Bond had reported
to the Planning Comm. at the last public hearing held on 12-19-1973. Also, he
outlined his opinion on the alleged false advertising PFS had distributed and
requested the Planning Comm. to rescind approval of Phase IV.
Mr. Ryan, POA Re., stated the POA had met with PFS and the VA. He said he
called Mr. J.T. Magness, legal counsel, V. A., in Little Rock on 1-16-1979
and Mr. Magness reported he was against approving said phase of Stonewall Sub-
division. Also, Mr. Magness stated Phase IV, as revised, would have to be ap-
proved by POA and the VA before the developer could proceed.
REMARKS: PULASKI FINANCIAL SERVICE REP.
Mr. Pat Goss, legal counsel for aforementioned, stated he had not met with the
VA and was not aware of aforementioned action. He then outlined procedures
followed concerning approval of VA on Bill of Assurances on each, separate,
distinct phase of planned unit developments which come ahead of approving any
plat.
LEGAL ADVICE:
Ct1y Atty., Paul Groce reported the commission could, if it so desired, rescind
former approval of Phase IV if they would do it for the good of the citizens
of Jacksonville and for the future of Jacksonville, but not just for the private
property owners association benefit.
At this time, Mr. Tommy Bond reported that changes in street names had been ef-
fected, as directed by commission on 12-5-1978 and Arthur Court had been rede-
signed to be made a through street, also in concurrence with commission 1 s direc-
tion.
Mr. Goss was then asked by Comm. Betts if Mr. Goss had the authority to request
Mr. Bond to redesign Phase IV to meet with POA 1 s approval. Mr. Goss stated he
did not have the authority to order this action.

DISCUSSION: DRAINAGE PROBLEMS/FLOODING -ROPE TRAIL AREA (TONEYVILLE)
City Eng. Smith reported he had received a call from a resident in Northwood
Acres earlier in the week concerning above referenced item of business and
consented to place subject on agenda for discussion. Chrm. Cavender recognized
Bridget Sander, 3906 Rope Trail . She stated a new housing development was
presently being developed in her area that would cause further flooding and
drainage problems to her home and adjacent dwellings, also. Chrm. Cavender
recognized Jackie Jones, 3904 Rope Trail who reiterated the former's feelings
concerning inadequate drainage in existing area. They both stated their
main concern was that other homes being built would be in for high water
conditions once new development had been completely constructed as further
run-off would enhance present already flooded conditions. Mr. Bob Wooley,
1012 Quince Hill Rd. was recognized and stated the problems he had experienced
with i mproper drainage.
In further discussion it was brought out that Dick Jones, developer, and his
engineers, plus Peacock Realty Co . and David Fisk were developing afore-
mentioned area wi thout adequate drainage being provided for said area along
with no consideration being given for those down str eam. (This was the res-
idents' contention present at the meeting)
The membership requested expertise of City Engineer; therefore, City Eng.
Smith stated he would bring back to ne xt meeting a proposal to consider,
from an engineering standpoint, to help alleviate drainage problems in the area.
DISCUSSION: PLANNING AREA BOUNDARY MAP CHANGES (PROPOSED) (Jckvl ., NLR & Sherwood)
Charles Randel, Metroplan rep., explained that last week a meeting had been
conducted at Metroplan offices in Little Rock with City Eng. Smith and Mayor
Reid representing Jacksonville in attendance. Also in attendance were members
of Pulaski County Planning Board and representatives from the cities of NLR
and Sherwood. Said meeting was called to draft a proposed planning area
bounda r y map, changing e xisting one to some extent. Mr. Randel said no member
of the Jacksonville Planning Commission was in attendance at aforementioned
meeting to help with draft. It was brought out in discussion by membership
that the Planning Commission is the sole entity responsible to formulate
planning area boundaries. Mr. Randel reported he had in his possession a
draft agreement to be effected by the city co unci 1 s concerned formally ex-
ecuting planning area boundaries. Said agreement, he said, would be duplicated
and delivered to the Secretary of Planning Commission for distribution to
membership for their information.
After 3 ma ps were di s played and e xp lained by Mr. Randel outlining proposed

Planning Board was endeavoring to have some continuity established
with only one review board having jurisdiction for new subdivisions in

Wooley moved, seconded by Comm. Betts that the membership consider draft
proposal between the present time and next scheduled meeting and place
item of business back on regular formal Agenda, May 14, 1979. Approved
by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED. (Maps in possession of Secretary)

thereto, objecting to above referenced rezoning petition. Mr. Crutch-
field stated the area residents were afraid if this property was allowed
to be zoned to a commercial classification that all North James would
go to said status and obliterate the residential usage now present.
Mrs. Liles stated that at one time there was a commercial enterprise lo-
cated on her property. In discussion, it was brought out said business
had been brought into the city through annexation proceedings and afterwards
had ceased doing business, therefore, resulting in non-conforming usage.
The city code states once a business has ceased in a non-conforming situation,
it then reverts back to classification st~tus of ~esidential usage ,
Mr. Frank Henson was recognized and said since there was a grocery store
on property at one time, he felt rezoning would not be inappropriate. He
then requested to review aforementioned petition. Chrm. Cavender said it
would have to stay in the file, but he was free to see all signatures affixed.
After examining document, Mr. Henson returned it to Secretary. Helen San-
derson was recognized and expressed her feelings against rezoning.
After there were no more arguments to be heard for or against rezoning,
Comm. Howard moved, seconded by Comm. Lock to deny rezoning request from
R-0 to C-2 classification. ROLL CALL and the following voted aye, Alder-
men: Wooley, Lock, White, Stender, Betts, Morgan and Howard. Comm. Ray
voted nay. Motion received 7 affirmative votes and 1 negative vote. MOTION
CARRIED. (the membership expressed the thought that possibly Mrs. Liles
might want to come back at a later date with a somewhat lower classification
for commercial rezoning)
PROPOSAL: STREET NAME CHANGES: (Jacksonville Cut-Off to West Main Street;
General Samuels, eastern leg., etc.)
After discussion, the commission decided the following: No change to be
effected on Pine Drive and Pine Street. Leave as is. Informally change,
when new maps are made up, Jacksonville Cut-Off to West Main Street. Set
up a special committee comprised of Commissioners Howard and Lock to come
up with a new name for eastern leg of General Samuels Road.

Court House in Little Rock are now letting the cities within the county
know about subdivisions being constructed respective to planning juris-
dictions involved. City Eng. Smith said aforementioned procedures are
working to everyone 1 s advantage as this will help cut down drastically
on illegal subdivisions.

said plat has to come before the Jacksonville Planning Commission before
final recording can be accomplished. The ~ommission secretary was also

explained, are actually sidewalks and some are grassy areas. The plat will
be recorded, as is, according to Bond Engineer rep. Bond Eng. rep. stated
aforementioned 11 pedestrian easement 11 in question is so platted so easier
access could be provided into Johnson Park area. The rep. stated this was
done at the request of the Planning Commission membership during Preliminary
Plat stage. Drainage was questioned, but engineer reported it was adequate.

Mr. New stated said property was presently zoned R-4; Mr. Allen had agreed
to 80-ft. frontages, as per city code, and that the owner would be responsible
for placement of all utilities. However, Mr. New requested guidance on
plat submitted to his office outlining metes and bounds description. It was
brought out in discussion that said landowner would own all of the trailers
on private property; therefore, general consensus of opinion was that since

RESUBMITTED SKETCH PLAT: PHASE IV/STONEWALL SUBDIVISION AND REZONING PETITION:
FROM R-1 TO R-0 AND R-3 TO R-0, some 77 odd acres.
Mr. Jim Moses, representing the planning firm of Hodges, Vines & Fo x Allen &
Associates and the developer, Savers Financial Services, was recognized con-
cerning above proposal.
JACKSONVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION
MAY 14, 1979
PAGE THREE
Mr. Moses requested a waiver on two cul-de-sacs in said phase because they
violated present city code. Present regulations call for a maximum of
five hundred feet in length; request for waiver involved a 650 and 670
foot long cul-de-sac, respectively. He reported fire plugs and sidewalks
would be placed according to city regulations. City Eng. Smith said he
had no objection to the long cul-de-sacs, but he was concerned about the
flood plain area and requested the planning firm to report on the ultimate
usage of lands. Mr. Moses said his firm would honor aforementioned request.
Mr. James Peacock, Peacock Realty Company, approached membership at this
time and objected to his home, barn and other property being cut off by
proposed new development. He stated the original Planned Unit Development
as advertised and approved in 1972 showed two entrances into his property.
Mr. Moses rebutted by saying the developers of Phase IV wanted to provide
only one through street for safety and residential protective reasons.
Also, Mr. Moses contended there was sufficient access provided Mr. Peacock's
property through Martin Street. Mr. Peacock summed up his argument by
stating he desired to build apartments on his property and they would com-
pliment and be equal to Stonewall's comprehensive overall design.
Mr. Jerry Fuqua, Stonewall Property Owners' Assoc., stated he had worked
very closely with the planning firm to try and better the subdivision, and
as a resident of the subdivision, he would like to see the commission
not approve an additiDnal through street, as proposed by Mr. Peacock. The
commission requested advice from City Eng. Smith in this regard; he re-
ported that he would like to see only one through street developed in this
residential area, as one thoroughfare would always be better than two in
this type of development.
Comm. White moved, seconded by Comm. Morgan to approve resubmitted Sketch
Plat, Phase IV, Stonewall Subdivision, with the developer putting back in
the street access for Mr. Peacock's property at the point of "Section 20"
located on Sketch Plat, deleting a cul-de-sac in the process; and to regard
Martin Street entrance as an access to said property, also; and to allow
waiver requested on length of two cul-de-sacs, so stated. Approved by voice
vote. MOTION CARRIED.
After review of proposed request submitted by planning firm, Comm. Wooley
moved, seconded by Comm. White to set up a public hearing, June 11, 1979,
8:00P.M., covering rezoning petition filed-(77 acres, From R-1 to R-0
and R-3 to R-0), Phase IV, Stonewall Subdivision. Approved by voice vote.
MOTION CARRIED. (See Exhibit A for complete legal description)
ANNEXATION PROPOSAL -RECONSIDERATION REQUEST -W & S OF LRAFB (Comm, Lock)
City Attorney Groce reported above referenced lands could be annexed into
the city at the full millage rate, BUT the value per acre would be less be-
cause of present agricultural usage; therefore, the taxes assessed would
be lower than previously considered.
As new aforementioned tax information had come to light, Comm. Ray moved,
seconded by Comm. Wooley to resubmit to the Jacksonville City Council a pro-
posal to annex approximately 1,200 acres Wand S of L.R.A.F.B . Approved by
voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.

The Planning Commission secretary updated membership on a recent letter sub-
mitted, under Chairman Cavender's signature, to Mr. Carl C. McChesney, Pulaski
County Planning & Development, concerning above referenced illegal subdivision
development.
In aforementioned letter the developer was requested to submit a Preliminary
Plat to the Jacksonville Planning Commission for review and action and to
cease selling lots until the Final Plat had been approved. The secretary
stated no plat had yet been received by the city~ Further, upon investigation,
it had been learned that one additional lot, in addition to five already sold
illegally, had been recently sold by the developer without benefit of an
approved Final Plat. Therefore, due to illegal sales, Pulaski County Planning
Board was requesting that Jacksonville officially recommend that the Pulaski
County Prosecuting Attorney's office be contacted in this regard, to be
accomplished through the county planning board. Whereupon, Comm. Wooley
moved, seconded by Comm. Morgan to authorize the secretary to wr'ite a letter
to Pulaski County Planning Board concurring with their former recommendation
to contact the Prosecuting Attorney's office in order to stop illegal sub-
division development. Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
SKETCH PLAT: HIGHLAND PARK SUBDIVISION, PHASE VI. (West Main & Harris Road
area) Chuck Drummond, developer.
Bond Engineers stated the developer would be coming back in June with Final
Plat as all the utilities have been installed on property. Also, he re-
ported the owner had agreed to placing a sidewalk along Harris .Road side
after the water line has been placed.
Changes were effected by the City Engineer and the commission to "Tract A"
as outlined on said plat and agreed to by Bond Engineers, in that another
thirty feet would be added (deeded) to Tract A area resulting in a replat,
thus eliminating Tract A altogether and making a 60' x 200' lot. Said
change to be encompassed in Final Plat. Comm. White moved, seconded by
Comm. Howard to approve Sketch Plat of Highland Park Sub., Phase VI, with
changes so noted by engineer. Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.

Membership next took up maintenance or performance bond for the streets,
City Engineer Smithreported the bond should be in the amount of $120,000.
Bond Engineers stated the bad weather was the main reason for bond having
to be placed as developer had not been able to lay streets, although
some curb and gutter had been placed in some areas. City Engineer Smith
recommended to the membership that a performance bond be placed. A Letter
of Credit was offered by the developer for promissory fulfillment with
September, 1979 being deadline date for street placement.
Comm. White moved, seconded by Comm. ~1organ to recommend to Jacksonville
City Council that Liberty Subdivision, Phase I be approved, with stip-
ulations to be met by aforementioned utilities and subject to a Letter
of Credit or a performance bond for the streets, whichever is decided
upon by the mayor and city engineer. Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.

TION CARRIED.

After signatures of chairman and secretary had been affi xed to said document,
Chas. Ra .ndel reported a copy of same would be filed officially with Jackson-
ville1S City Clerk; Lonoke County Circuit Clerk-Recorder and Pulaski County
Circuit-Clerk-Recorder.
DISCUSSION -COLLECTION OF PLAT FEES/OUTSIDE CITY LIMIT SUBDIVISIONS:
Co mm. secretary requested formal permission to start collecting plat fees for
subdivisions located outside the city limits that are not presently being
reviewed by body; whereupon, Comm. Wooley moved, seconded by Comm, Wilkinson,
to authorize collection of required plat fees, effective June 11, 1979, for
all outside city limit developments, charging rates that are outlined in sub-
division regulations applicable to inside city limit plats. Approved by
voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
Comm. Wooley stated the membership needed to set up a committee to study special
requirements governing inspection of subdivision developments located in the
e xtra-territorial boundary of Jacksonville. Chas. Randel reported the county
was in the process of adopting a new highway plan that would be of much assistance
in this regard and could be used as a guide. Whereupon, a committee comprised
of Commissioners Betts and Wooley was assigned to work with the county and Metro-
plan in order to set up required regulations.
SUGGESTED CHANGES TO STREET LIGHT ORDINANCE:
Item of business was withdrawn for consideration as Mayor Reid reported some con-
flict had arisen to changing present established guidelines.
PRELIMINARY PLAT/PHASE IV-STONEWALL SUBDIVISION:
Chrm. Cavender recognized receipt of $250.00 plat fee and introduced the follow-
ing written recommendations from required sources:
WATER COM~1ISSION: Dated June 4, 1979. Meets with preliminary approval. Final
acceptance and approval to be given on completion of project and receipt of as-
built plans.
FIRE DEPARTMENT: Dated June 5, 1979. Location of hydrants meets with approval.
SEWER COMMISSION: Dated June 8, 1979. Reservations voiced about serving de-
velopment with construction plans to build a 12 11 line in order to obtain sufficient
grade. (pump station plans were previously rejected by commission) Sewer Comm.
suggested the developer investigate construction of a new line southeast under

railroad bed to an existing trunk line making it necessary to obtain some
600-feet of easement from private property owner. Tommy Bond stated that
initially a pump station was to be designed to serve develoment, but a
gravity flow line had been recommended by commission in lieu of said pump-
ing station. He further reported the large line planned by the developer
at this stage would possibly serve to pose some maintenance problems, along
with the fact the planned sewer line would flow into an already heavily used,
ovetloaded line serving the Laurel and Cherry Street area. He said
his firm had tried to meet with private property owner in order to help
obtain required easement, but to no avail.
Mr. Bond offered a probable solution to situation, in that the lots fac-
ing Martin Street sewer back into the old existing system and in order
to prevent any problems, it would be feasible to go ahead and approve
said lots and hold up approval on the others until right connection is
worked out. Concerning easement situation, he said his firm, along with
Sewer Supt. and Sewer Commission would work with property owner to help de-
veloper obtain same.
Mr. Fo x , representing Hodges, Vines, Fo x , Allen & Associates, was recognized
and he requested approval of street and drainage plans at this time. He
e xpressed concern on whether an easement could be obtained for the alternate
plan offered by Sewer Commission. ·He requested the city require said land
for this improvement project. City Eng. Smith stated the street and drainage
plans were in compliance and met with his department 1 s approval. He said
the plans showed dirt ditches in Phase IV, deleting any lined canals. But
he said this met with no op~osition from his department.
Upon reviewing plat, commission reflected that the necessary changes had
been made from Sketch Plat stage reflecting an added entrance provided
for Mr. Peacock 1 S property.
At this time, the plat was held in abeyance in order to conduct an advertised
public hearing.
PUBLIC HEARING: STONEWALL SUBDIVISION , PHASE IV/REZONING R-1 AND R-3 TO R-0:
Chrm. Cavender opened public hearing and recognized proof of publication
advertising rezoning petition. It was brought out in discussion that one
open space formerly provided by developer was to be replaced by a single
family dwelling if there was no objection raised to said change by POA.
Mr. Fo x , representing developer, stated if there were any objections raised
in aforementioned regared by the POA, the change would not be implemented
and thus removed from consideration.
No opposition was voiced to rezoning said properties. Whereupon, Comm. Wooley
moved, seconded by Comm. Howard, to recommend to the city council that Stone-
wall Subdivision, Phase IV, be rezoned from R-1 and R-3 to R-0 classification.
Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
PRELIMINARY PLAT: STONEWALL SUB., PHASE IV:
Membership returned to above referenced plat. After reviewing Sewer Comm.
recommendation and the feasibility of polling Planning Comm. and Sewer Comm.
memberships on their feelings concerning the approval of said plat with
lots allowed being sewered into existing system, Mr. Fox summed up situation
by stating that he would go back to the Sewer Comm. to decide on approximate-
ly 15 lots that go back to the north and investigate alternative of crossing

the t10P RR tracks · with the city's assistance. Should this fail, they would then
come back with an alternative on original plan submitted .. Comm. Ray moved,
seconded by Comm. Betts, to hold the plat in abeyance until it had been
approved by the Sewer Commission. ROLL CALL and the following voted aye,
Commissioners: Betts and Ray. Commissioners: Wooley, Wilkinson and Howard
voted nay. MOTION FAILED. Comm. Wilkinson moved, seconded by Comm. Wooley,
to approve the plat SUBJECT to approval of the Sewer Commission. ROLL CALL
and the following voted aye, Commissioners: Wooley, Wilkinson and Howard.
Commissioners: Betts and Ray voted nay. MOTION CARRIED.
J & K SUBDIVISION, FINAL PLAT/(FORMERLY SUBMITTED AS JOHN SMITH SUB.) OUTSIDE
CITY LI~~ ITS:
Mr. James C. Summerlin, representing developer, was recognized and he stated
the 8 stipulations formerly placed on plat by County Planning Board had been
met. He reported the plat, if approved by the commission, would be submitted
to city council on the 21st of June. Comm. Ray moved, seconded by Comm. Howard
to recommend approval of Final Plat, J & K Subdivision, to city council. Approved
by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
ELBOW ESTATES/OUTSIDE CITY LIMIT SUBDIVISION/FINAL PLAT:
No plat had been received by commission secretary. Therefore, plat review
was dropped.
HIGHLAND PARK SUBDIVISION/FINAL PLAT: -Lots 18, 19, 20 & 21.
Chrm. Cavender recognized receipt of $200.00 plat fee. The following letters
were read by Chrm. Cavender reflecting approval with certain provisions being
met:
(1) WATER COMMISSION: Letter dated June 4, 1979: It is the policy of
Water Commission that all services are the responsibility of the
owner or developer.
(2) FIRE DEPT: Letter dated June 4, 1979: Location of hydrants approved.
(3) SEWER COMMISSION: Letter dated June 8, 1979: Plat approved with the
understanding that since sewer line is already in place through earlier
development, the developer shall be responsible for the following:
a. MAKING THE TAP b. INSTALLING TAPPING SADDLE c. INFORMING BUYER
OF LOT THAT AFOREMENTIONED WORK SHALL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY OWNER (DEVELOPER)
Bond rep., Bill Owens, reported in the preliminary stage, the commission
had approved a replat of Tract A as listed on said plat, but their engineering
firm had made that one lot 130-feet which took in Tract A, thereby reflecting
needed change. Whereupon, Comm. Betts moved, seconded by Comm. Howard to
recommend approval to city council of Final Plat, Highland Park Subdivision,
with stipulations approved from Sewer Commission. Approved by voice vote.
MOTION CARRIED.
REQUEST FOR BUILDING PERMIT: W. MAIN STREET (6500 BLOCK) Petitioner, S.M. Brannan .
UNPLATTED PARCEL OF PROPERTY, METES & BOUNDS DESCRIPTION:
City Inspector New approached membership with above referenced request. He
stated the owner has been informed that any future building, other than required
house construction, would require a complete plat breakdown. Mr. New reported
a 250-ft. driveway driveway, all utilities and minimum 12-ft. tile for drive-
way entrance would be at owner's expense. City Eng. Smith objected to issuance
of a building permit because parcel is not subdivided according to regulations.
I
JACKSONVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION
JUNE 11, 1979

He recommended the property be subdivided . Mr. New further reported a
culvert would be installed at entrance to property by owner. He rec-
ommended that before a building permit is issued that Health Dept.
approval be obtained for septic tank. Col. Betts moved, seconded by
Comm. Ray, to approve issuance of a building permit, subject to Health
Department approval and further stipulate that only one (1) structure
be built on said property. And if other development is undertaken,
that lands be subdivided. Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
REQUEST FOR BUILDING PERMIT: MADDEN RD. & GREEN ACRES RD. AREA/METES
AND BOUNDS DESCRIPTION/UNPLATTED/SHELBY CAPPS, PETITIONER.
Mr. Capps was present and outlined above referenced request. Upon re-
viewing submitted plat of property, it was discovered the side of
planned single-family dwelling proposed to be built would be 16-ft . from
Madden Road, thus violating side set-back requirements for a corner lot.
Therefore, Comm. Ray moved, seconded by Comm. Betts to disapprove issuance
of a building permit because of aforementioned set-back violation. Approved
by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED. (The commission recommended redrawing plat
to reflect the proposed house to be turned around with driveway facing
Madden Road, versus proposed Green Acres entrance.)
NON-AGENDA/REZONING REQUEST. FROM R-0 TO C-1 -FOXWOOD COUNTRY CLUB:(Legal, Exh. A)
Tommy Bond approached membership and stated through research it had been
discovered Foxwood Country Club had been built without the benefit of re-
zoning to proper classification. He further stated an offer had been
made to purchase said establishment and the country club would like to
have this matter cleared up before final paperwork is accomplished. Re-
ceipt of $50 rezoning fee was acknowledged as being received by Chrm.
Cavender.
Comm. Howard moved, seconded by Comm. Ray, to set up for a public hearing,
rezoning petition, Foxwood Country Club, from R-0 to C-1, 8:00P.M., July 9,
1979. Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
NON~~GENDA -UPDATE: MAJOR STREET PLAN:
Comm. Ray stated the city needed to update traffic flow volume counts with
a review, also, to be undertaken on Major Street Plan in order to correlate
with the county plans. City Eng. Smith stated this would be worked on.
NON-AGENDA/PINE VALLEY STATES (OUTSIDE CITY LIMIT ILLEGAL SUBDIVISION)
City Attorney Groce approached membership concerning above referenced develop-
ment. He stated the developer had recently just sold two more lots without
benefit of final plat being submitted. The secretary read a letter dated
May 7, 1979 sent to Pulaski County Planning Board under signature of Chrm.
Cavender, copy being sent to Jon G. Cooper, developer. Said letter reviewed
legality of the subdivision and stated that the sale of lands should cease
and all signs of listings for sale should be removed immediately until such
time plat has been submitted and all stipulations met that have been imposed
by the county.
In discussion it was brought out the lots being sold illegally are evidently
being sold under purchase contract agreements as no deeds had been filed
at Circuit Clerk 1 s office.
Mr. Beard, Route 3, Box #219, N. L. R., a resident of subdivision approached
membership and stated he had talked to developer when he bought his lot and
was informed that the developer was working with the county to black top the
roads. He reported his wife was a witness in this regard.

In discussion it was bro ught out the c ounty was not a ccep ting maintenance
of any new roads and the county judge will not revi e~t/ a ny subdivision
without plat submitt a l and passage through proper channels.
Unanimous consensus of opinion was to turn this matter over to legal counsel.
Ther~f~r~, Comm. Ray moved, seconded by Comm. Betts, to present said illegal
subd 1v1s1on development to the city attorney for legal action. Approved
by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.

in attendance: Chairman Cavender: Commissioners: Wooley; Lock; White; Wilkinson
and Morgan. Those absent: Commissioners: Betts, Ray and Howard. Present: 6.
Absent: 3. A quorum was declared. Others in attendance: City Attorney Groce;
City Inspector New; Marie Flickinger, Pulaski County Planning Board; Mr. Ammons,
Pulaski County Planning Board; Ron Mills, Atty. at Law; Tommy Bond, Bond Eng-
ineers and Charles Randel, Metroplan representative.
APPROVAL AND/OR CORRECTION OF MINUTES:
Comm. White moved, seconded by Comm. Wooley, to approve the Minutes of June 11,
1979 as recorded. Approved by unanimous voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
UPDATE: COMMITTEE PROGRESS REPORT-OUTSIDE CITY LIMIT SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS:
With commission approval, Chairman Cavender deviated from published Agenda and
introduced Mr. Charles Randel, Metroplan representative and Comm. Wooley to
present progress report on regulations to be used by the city and county cov-
ering outside city limit developments.
Comm. Wooley reported that a committee meeting was not held during the month
because the information needed from the county was not available. At this time,
Mr. Randel presented written data covering road design classed by levels of
service that will be applicable to highways, roads and streets in the county.
He pointed out the county would like to have 28-ft. of residential paved road
which is outlined in Class VIA-Local Estate Residential Classification; the
city utilizes 27-ft. Therefore, the possibility of an ordinance amendment
for county roads (local) was discussed. Mr. Randel suggested 60-ft. right-of-
way (28-ft. crown) be added to subdivision regs.
Marie Flickinger reported that the county will be requ1r1ng hard surfacing of
roads and ditch sections will be allowed by Pulaski County Planning Board be-
cause the need for curb and guttering would not be applicable in most cases.
It was resolved that no inspection of houses or buildings in the county will
be provided by city forces; the only inspections required would be accomplished
through the city engineer's office (1. Homes located in the flood plain) (2.
Streets) (3. Drainage). However, where an outside city limit development
would tie into the city's sewer/water system, an inspection will be required
by city inspector. Plat fees presently being charged by the city would cover
city engineer's inspections, but additional monies would have to be provided
for city inspection on hooking into municipal utility systems.
The county will have final jurisdiction on the maintenance of roadways located
in extra-territorial boundary. Also resolved-county will review plats FIRST.
Membership recommended the committee assigned at last meeting (Commissioners:
Betts and Wooley and Metroplan Rep.) continue to meet during the month and
report back with written analysis at next regular meeting scheduled for August
13, 1979.
FINAL PLAT/PRELIMINARY PLAT -CEDAR CREEK SUBDIVISION/OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS:
(Centennial Road)
Membership conceded to review Final Plat at the request of Marlar Engineers
who represented the developer, Dr. John Gustavus. Receipt of $200 plat fee
was acknowledged by Chrm. Cavender.
JACKSONVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION
JUlY 9 , 1979

Chrm. Cavender reported on the Pulaski County Planning Board's recommenda-
tions to the Jacksonville Planning Commission. Said board recommended pre-
liminary and final approval subject to the following:
1. Approval of a waiver of 35-ft. bldg. setback.
2. Approval of a waiver for frontage to exceed 1 ,320 feet.
3. Submission of a house numbering plan.
4. Certificate of owners needs to be signed and submitted.
5. To leave 50-ft. private road off of plat.
6. Establishment of drainage easement between Lots 1 & 2.
7. Approval of drainage and flood control by county engineer.
8. Health Department's approval of percolation tests .
9. Approval of Jacksonville Planning Commission.
Marlar Engineering representative requested that 8 lots be considered for
Final Plat versus 9 as Lot No. 5 did not pass Health Dept. percolation test.
He stated the aforementioned stipulations had been met. Commission accepted
request to change plat from 9 to 8 lots with change to be depicted on revised
Final Plat when it is submitted to city council the first meeting in August.
After review of stipulations placed on plat by Pulaski County, Comm. White
moved, seconded by Comm. Morgan, to recommend to city council that Cedar Creek
Subdivision, Final Plat, be approved with concurrence on above referenced stip-
ulations set forth . Approved by unanimous voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
PUBLIC HEARING: REZONING REQUEST/FROM R-0 TO C-1. FOXWOOD COUNTRY CLUB (7.31
Acres) (legal description, see Exh. A., Minutes of June 11, 1979)
Chrm. Cavender opened Public Hearing at 8:10p.m., and acknowledged publication
of legal notice being in the files. Mr. Ron Mills, Atty. at Law, was rec-
ognized as counsel for Lomanco, petitioner. Mr. Mills stated the future of
the club was at stake in club sale negotiations being conducted and the golf
course should not be construed to be included as a part of rezoning process.
He said the frontage was only involved in rezoning proceedings. Commission
reviewed sketch of property prepared by Bond Engineers.
There was no objection or dissent to rezoning request being approved from pub-
lic at large; however, some of the membership voiced a recommendation and/or
proposal to allow the property to be classed as non-conforming use in an R-0
zone instead of rezoning to C-1.
Comm. Morgan moved, seconded by Comm. White, to recommend approval to city
council of rezoning Foxwood Country Club from R-0 to C-1. Approved by un-
animous voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
PRELIMINARY PLAT/SILVER OAKS SUBDIVISION/OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS: (Highway 107 &
Centennial Road)
Chrm. Cavender recognized receipt of plat fee required . Plat was held in
abeyance until it has been reviewed by county first.

SKETCH PLAT: PINE VALLEY ESTATES/OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS. (Off Hatcher Rd. & Hiwy. 107)
Chrm. Cavender recognized Mr. Jon Cooper, developer. Mr. Cooper stated he had
been hospitalized and was unable to handle the necessary paperwork covering
correct submission of plats to the city and county. Sketch Plat was held in
abeyance until the county review has been accomplished.
REPLAT: JACKSON HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION/PHASE III: (LOT #62) Ben Rice, etitioner.
Chrm. Cavender recognized receipt of 50 replat fee. After review of plat,
Comm. White moved, seconded by Comm. Wooley, to approve lot-split as requested.
Approved by unanimous voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
REVIEW OF 701 PLANNING GRANT PROPOSAL:
Comm. Secy. presented synopsis of above referenced grant application outlining
purpose, funding and management. Said grant application would cover a study
to be conducted by Manes and Associates, Planning Consultants, for improving
the level of all services for persons living in Northern Pulaski County. It
would be of benefit to the city and the county to help in coordination of ser-
vices presently being offered to citizenry. Final consensus of opinion was to
place this item of business back on the ne xt Agenda to receive Mayor Reid 1 S
recommendations and comments.
ELBOW ESTATES: FINAL PLAT/Republican and Tadpole Rd./OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS:
Chrm. Cavender recognized developer 1 s legal counsel, Mr. Ben Rice. Membership
reviewed a letter from Pulaski County Judge W.E. Beaumont dated May 4, 1979.
Said letter recommended to the County Planning Board that the subdivision
be accepted and approved upon submission of proper drawings by the developers
so that they may proceed and that they be allowed approximately si x months
to apply 5-7 inches of crushed rock over a 20-ft. road surface in subdivision.
Commission discussed Bill of Assurance which specifies that any hard surfacing
or roads or paving will be done at the land owners 1 expense. Judge Beaumont
explained his reasonings for approving crushed rock versus hard surfacing, as follows:
l. The road has been constructed and in use for appro x . 2 years.
2. The residents of the area who have built in subdivision have indicated
they do not e xpect a hard surfaced road, as evidenced by their sig-
natures to B/A.
3. Number of residential dwellings will likely be less than 30, thus
making the roadway of limited use in forseeable future.
4. There apparently have been no previously published county specifications
or standards that developers could utilize in designing roadways, cul-
verts and bridges, plus lack of uniformity in applying what standards
have existed. Elbow Estates had been started during that period of time.
Comm. Wooley moved, seconded by Comm. Morgan, to concur with the recommenda-
tions set forth by Judge Beaumont concerning roads including stipulation that
work be done during aforementioned period of time and to approve plat. Approved
by unanimous voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
UPDATE: STONEWALL SUBDIVIS ION:PHASE IV.
Comm. Secretary reported sewer line easement had been granted by Mr. Virgil
Delaney for installation of 600-ft. of line in order to sewer above referenced
phase. Mr. Delaney has requested certain conditions be met in order for prop-
erty to be restored to its original state with said stipulations to be placed
on permanent/temporary easement papers. City Atty. Groce in process of drawing

John New, City Inspector, stated the City of Jacksonville deeded to the
city of No. Little Rock a water metering site located in above referenced
subdivision because the city of NLR would be maintaining site. However,
building site is located in an R-0 zone. Mr. New reported he had issued
a building permit stipulating this is located in an R-0 zone and building
permit was granted under conditional use which is allowed per code.

document. Mr. Randel then took the floor and reported that the
Pulaski County Planning Board was in accord with proposed regulations

them for any additional input and/or changes to proposed requirements.

writing his department's recommendations insofar as pavement require-
ment, nor what city requirements should be met by outside developers
insofar as information required on plats (Section 17.16.010) or infor-
mations to be submitted with plats (Section 17.16.020). But these
aforementioned amendments to subdivision regulations, if any, would
be submitted to Planning Commission secretary for inclusion in final
draft.

Superintendent which stated the sanitary sewer line is satisfactory and
approved by said department with the lines having passed inspection
visually, by lamping, and also by air testing.

Commission stating that no water service would be approved until the
following provisions have been fully met:
"1. The water main distribution system, including the service con-
nections, shall pass the hydrostatic pressure-leakage tests in accordance
with Water Works specifications. The initial pressure test failed and
the contractor was notified that failure was most likely attributable
to sub-standard service line fittings. He was advised to replace the
compression type fittings with pack-joint fittings.
2. The distribution system shall be sterilized by chlorination in
accordance with Utility specifications and bacteriological samples
collected for "safe" analysis by Health Department.
3. As-built plans shall be submitted for review and approval.

UPDATE: 100 UNITS OF TURNKEY (APARTMENTS) JACKSONVILLE HOUSING AUTHROITY
Mr. Robert Boyd, Director, Jacksonville Housing Authority, briefly
outlined the authority's plans for 100 apartment units. He stated that
for about a year'·s time they have been trying to obtain new housing plans
for the city, but there has been an inability to get timely assurances,
such as utilities, etc. So, the authority will now advertise for bids
and open this up again to developers for site selections with everything
contingent on HUD approval. He also brought out this new approach
leaves the situation possibly open to rezoning procedures. Nevertheless,
the plans for said housing will be brought back to the Planning Com-
mission.

As requested by membership at last meeting, City Eng. Smith reviewed a proposed
intersection improvement at above location. Total cost of project amounted to
$31,950.00 including right-of-way acquisition along West side of James St.
He stated he could think of better ways to expend street department funds as
said area does not add to the accident rate according to recent statistics.

Further, he recommended more attention should be given to Gregory Place Shopping
Center because of the potentially dangerous traffic situation along Highway 161,
Gregory St. and T. P. White Drive triangle. vfuereupon, Comm. Betts moved,
seconded by Comm. 1-lobley, that the Hain & James St. intersection improvement
proposal be dropped for any further study this year due to the cost. HOTION
CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOICE VOTE. (See Exhibit B, 9-10-79 for proposal)
GREGORY PLACE SHOPPING CENTER TRAFFIC PROBLEH:
City Eng. Smith reported he had discussed above referenced traffic conditions
with Harold Gwatney, owner, and State Highway Dept. engineers. The Highway
Dept., he said, reported they were not in favor of improvements, at this time,
because private property is involved. And Mr. Gwatney's input was that the
new K-Mart store has provided him with traffic flow plans on T. P. White Drive,
but he could not see any improvements to the situation at this time. However,
he would like to review this after the development is in. General consensus
reached by membership was aforementioned traffic problem is going to be the
"Number One" traffic flow problem in the city with drainage difficulties to
also be addressed. Comm .. Ray requested previous Hinutes of Plannin~ Commission
meeting concerning the issuance of building permits for Gregory Place Shopping
Center site. Subject was unresolved and left to be brought up again at a
special meeting set forth later in the meeting.
OUTSIDE CITY LH1IT SUB. REGULATIONS:
It was announced by Chrm. Cavender that the City Council did not receive. above
drafted regulations approved at last Planning Conmission meeting because the
city engineer had further changes and/or deletions to discuss with membership.
City Eng. Smith then presented "flow chart " covering city and county coordinated
procedure for proposed subdivisions in the extra-territorial jurisdictional
area of the city. Aforementioned document altered considerably the conditions
set forth at last Planning Commission meeting insofar as the county's part is
concerned. He said the county had not yet approved his proposed flow chart
for submission of plats and action on same. Harie Flickinger reported she
saw no disagreement with submission plan.
It was brought out the City Planning Commission should concern themselves
only with streets and drainage in extra-territorial area. Building permits
and issuance of same are not to be addressed. No action taken at this time
as a recess was called at 8:56 p.m. by Chrm. Cavender. Heeting reconvened at
9:04p.m. Chrm. Cavender requested membership study proposed regulations as
published at last meeting for outside city limit developments, study proposed
flow chart as presented by City Eng. Smith along with recommendations for
pavement design to be included in Master Street Plan thus deleting present
pavement design requirements as afforded in present city code. Subject was
unresolved and left to be brought up again at a special meeting set forth later
in the meeting.
NON-AGENDA: HASTER STREET PLAN RECO~W:ffiNDATIONS: PRIORITY LISTING OF STREET PROJECTS:
Chrm. Cavender stated he would like to see the membership reset priority listing
on the above as the first four previous recommendations had been completed and/or
were underway. These recommendations to be forwarded to the council for their
consideration when consensus was reached by all concerned. Subject was not
addressed at this time as a special meeting was called later in the meeting con-
cerning said listing.

"As requested August 13, 1979, I have made a preliminary analysis of
the cost and feasibility of straightening the West curb line of South
James Street adjacent to the old Safeway building to result in a con-

The right-of-way line along the West side of James Street is apparently
one foot behind the existing curb and gutter; therefore, any improvements will
require right-of-way acquisition. I have talked with the owner of this project
several times, but not concerning this particular idea. He is reported to be
in poor health and I prefer not to approach him again unless it is necessary;
however, I see no reason why he would object to this improvement as long as he
is compensated justly for the taking of the property .
If you feel this matter warrants council alternative, I will be glad to assist.
~~This report does not attempt to alter the location of Dupree Street, but
this improvement will require a phasing change in the traffic pattern at the
intersection. 11

The first item receiving attention was a suggestion from Mr. Charles
Randel which was agreed to and accepted. He suggested that the member-
ship take the Priority Street Improvement listing out of the Master Street
Plan document and make it a separate brochure that could be presented
to city council in a Resolution form. He also thought it 'I.Duld be a good
idea to update this document on an annual basis with a proposed change in
title to "Transportation Management." New Master St. Plan was reviewed.
City Eng. Smith presented a list of non-prioritized proposed street im-
provement projects with notation that the projects did not address cost,
jurisdiction of funding, nor any time schedule. After deliberation, the
membership entertained the following 10 improvement projects, taking into
consideration that they are NOT to be construed as being listed in priority
order:
( l) VIADUCT OVER MAIN STREET (OVERPASS) RR TRACKS OVER 'IO GRAHAM RD.

Bill OWens, Bond Consulting Engineer representative, presented a sketch plat
of Gregory Place Shopping Center area. City Eng. Smith suggested that a
traffic consultant be approached for expertise in solving said area's traffic
problems. Final consensus reached was to instruct Planning Canmission Secy.
to invite Harold Gwatney, owner/developer, to next month's regular rreeting,
and start at 7:00p.m., in order to find out what his intentions are for im-
proving traffic control at said site.

City Eng. Smith presented a proposed "flow chart" covering the Planning
Commission's procedure for review and approval process for plat sub-
mission concerning developments both inside and outside city lbnits.
After a review of 25 steps (changed to 24) involved in aforementioned
process, Corrm. Morgan moved, seconded by Camn. Howard, to accept doc-
urrent as sul::mitted. All voted in the affirmative with exception of
Comn. IDck who voted nay. Whereupon, notion was withdrawn frc:m the table.

way to reflect proposed changes in plat submission and acceptance process
and bring matter back to commission for vote.
Membership then returned to new proposed Master Street Plan that City
Eng. Smith and Charles Randel had drawn up for consideration. The changes
were reviewed and accepted. Mr. Randel stated he v..Duld re-draft map
and bring it back to be finalized.
Cormn. IDck recorrmended a public hearing be held on previously outlined
street improvement priori ties and Master Street Plan proposal. Mr.
Randel agreed as well as the membership to first review revised Master
Street Plan map; then have a public hearing on adoption of same; then
sul::mit to city council for official action and then work on street pri-
ority listing projects as a separate document.
City Eng. Smith recommended certain city ordinances be amended covering
pavement widths; right-of-way widths, and pavement and street design.
Said i terns to be referred to standards shown in Master Street Plan.
No action was forthcoming as the city attorney's office will have to

were read for the record. City Eng. Smith recorrmended approval of said
phase and remarked that he would like to see better quality control on

DEVIATION IN AGENDA: FOXWOOD SUBDNISICN, PHASE VI-I):, FINAL PlAT:
Chrm. Cavender ruled, and membership agreed, to take up Foxwood Subdivision's
Final Plat, and when time came for initiating public hearings set for re-
zonings, an interruption would be in order.
Chrm. Cavender stated $250.00 plat fee was in order and proceeded to read
submission letter from Bond Consulting Engineers dated October 1, 1979.
Said letter outlined the fact there had been a change made in the street
grade and storm drainage on Madden Road. The change was made to street
grade to lower the street at Madden and Foxwood Dr. and the intersection
of Tallyho Court and Foxwood Drive which eliminated the need for two
sets of inlets located on Madden and Tallyho Court. The engineer's re-
port further stated said changes would have little effect on the drainage
in the development.
The Fire Department approval was recognized by Chrm. Cavender as well as
passage by the Water and Sewer Comnissions. The city engineer recormended
plat be turned over to the city council for final action. He stated he
had not had time to review and analyze revised construction plans be-
cause they had been sul:::mitted just that day. He said he had not received
soil compaction tests on the streets from the laboratory either. Mr.
Tomny Bond, Bond Consulting Engineers, stated the contractor's job on
said streets was not too good as the riding surface was bumpy and workman-
ship somewhat inferior. Therefore, he summed up, the looks and riding
quality do suffer but there have been no failures. A technical merrorandlUTt
from Asphalt Institute was distributed.
Corrm. White said, in his opinion, there is nothing in the ordinance which
says anything about the appearance of street surfaces per se.

Eubanks who owns a business across the street from proposed rezoning.
Comm. Ray stated he had made a survey of the area and the people did not
object. Comm. White recarnmended to membership that not just one parcel
of property should be rezoned to said classification and since there
were people in the area wanting to rezone that they should get together
in a block consensus. Chnn. Cavender asked Mr. Boyd, petitioner, if he
v..:Duld like to take the ini tia ti ve and pursue Mr. White' s suggestion. Mr.
Boyd said no; he was merely interested in getting his property rezoned.

Tommy Bond approached body and offered a suggestion. He said to
approve said phase subject to the acceptance of the streets and storm
drainage system by the city engineer and city street supt. City Eng.
Smith concurred with aforementioned recommendation. Conm. White moved,
seconded by Conm. Betts, to hold this plat in abeyance for 10 days/two
weeks with a meeting to be set up to determine passage or denial of

City Eng. Smith stated he had talked with Charles Randel of Metroplan re-
cently and he was in the process of revising the Master Street Plan Map;
therefore, the above referenced new regulations could be presented at
the same time said map comes up for review.
NON-AGENDA: PRIORITY STREET IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTION:
City Eng. Smith stated that since the Council and Planning Commission would
be meeting on Oct. 11th for a special meeting covering street improvements
and Master Street Plan, he would like to give body his suggestion/recommenda-
tion for No. 1 priority. He displayed a map and presented progress made
during past 20 some odd years for a loop around the city. He said there
was one "link" left in said loop which lay north of Vandenberg Blvd. , over
the freeway, hooking into General Samuels with right-of-way to be procured.
Mayor Reid stated his No. 1 priority would be the overpass over the rail-
road tracks. All agreed both aforementioned suggestions were of merit
and should not be abandoned in any case. All agreed City Eng. Smith's
proposed loop around the city suggestion and map should be presented at
Council/Planning Cornm. get-together on the 11th. It was announced by Mayor
Reid that quite possibly the Oct. 11th meeting and Oct. 25th meetings could
be canbined into one if time permitted. *

(1) Mayor Reid conducted meeting. Meeting was called to order at 7:20P.M.
Mayor Reid stated this get-together was to be considered ."informa1" and
he appreciated all those Planning Commission and City Council members
represented to discuss Master Street Plan proposed revisions and how
the streets should be laid out in the future for long-range planning
purposes. Also, he mentioned the City Council expressed a desire to
meet with the Planning Commission concerning priority projects under
consideration for future street improvements.
(2) Mayor Reid then reviewed ten (10) non-prioritized proposed street improve-
ment projects that the Planning Commission recently discussed at a meeting
held on Sept 24, 1979. He emphasized said list of proposed projects being
considered by said body for eventual submission to City Council in Res-
olution form were not at this time in distinct priority order.
(3) Mayor Reid emphasized his first priority would be the viaduct (overpass)
project over Main Street railroad tracks on over to Graham Road mainly
because of safety reasons and tracks seem to divide the city. He said
multiple sources of funding were available for such an undertaking as
the Highway Dept. had met recently with him and City Eng. Smith and re-
ported feasibility of project. (city's share for plans would be $50,000.00)
(4) City Eng. Smith reviewed his first priority suggestion with those present
which was a new 67-167 overpass for Loop Road extension to connect with
General Samuels Rd. at Marshall Road which would provide the missing "link"
of right-of-way needed to make a loop around the city. His reasons for
aforementioned project being first in priority with him were that loops
around cities have historically involved the healthy promotion of exterior
residential and commercial development.
(5) In following discussion, Gregory Place Shopping Center traffic flow prob-
lem was thoroughly reviewed. Mayor Reid reported the Highway Dept. was
working on this as said development is surrounded by 3 state maintained roads.
(6) General consensus reached concerning Gregory St. extension to Gen. Samuels
Rd. was to abandon this idea as residential development had developed in
needed right-of-way.
(7) Final consensus reached concerning signalization of high-accident inter-

section at James and 67-167 freeway frontage roads was that 90-10 monies
could quite possibly be obtained from Highway Dept. for said signalization.
(8) Mayor Reid next mentioned some annexations he would like to see effected
before 1980 year. He reported he had a map on his office wall depict-
ing his ideas along this line. After discussing fire and police protection
problems for newly annexed areas, the mayor stated he would keep in
mind the benefits versus increased services to be provided and report
back in the near future to the council on this item of business. A set
meeting for the 25th of October was then cancelled by Mayor Reid.
(9) Unanimous consensus reached concerning priority listing of street improve-
ment projects was the Planning Commission would be submitting short-range
and long-range listing to city council for their consideration.

City Inspectors; West-Tripp Surveying representative; Alderman Emrra Knight; Mike
Wilson, Atty. at law; Bob Martin, Street Superintendent and Mayor Reid.
The special meeting was called to order by Chrm. cavender and a quorum was de-
clared present. He stated that at the last regular Planning Cc:mnission meeting,
the membership had requested the city engineer to submit a report covering Fox-
wood Subdivision, Phase VI-B, Final Plat, insofar as the streets and drainage
compliance v.Tere concerned. In absence of City Engineer Smith, he then read the
following written recormendation sutmitted by Mr. Smith outlining his review of
said situation:
"After a ccmplete review of the construction site, the construction
plans, the proposed final plat, and all calculations supplied to me
concerning this job, I find I cannot approve the street and drainage
work for this subdivision. I suggest that you recormend to the City
Council that they ask the developer to retain an engineer to meet
with the City Engineer to discuss the situation. Hopefully, a satis-
factory course of action can be reached between the two parties. This
course of action could then be returned to the City Council for rat-
ification."
Chrrn. Cavender then went on to review with the membership, developers t engineer
and developers the following bases for not approving the construction as re-
ported in aforementioned letter of recommendation:
"(1) City ordinance does not specify any particular time or place
for the testing for compaction, only that the base will be
compacted to at least 95% of modified proctor. My testing
has revealed that the base is substantially less than 95%. ''
"T2) The approved construction plans submitted by Bond Engineering
indicated there would be a constant cross section and they in-
dicated that the street grade would be a smooth continuous
line with elevations shown to the O.Olth of a foot. The plans
allowed for a zero tolerance frcm this alignment. The "rough
surface" and deficient crown in several areas are variances
from the approved plans to a degree too great to be acceptable."
"(3) The approved construction plans submitted by Bond Engineering
indicated three (3) inlets and several hundred feet of drainage
pipe which were omitted. Subsequent drainage calculations sub-
mitted after the deletion of this pipe and inlets do not justify
their omission unless an alternate method of drainage collection
is used. Other areas of concern included the amount of hydraulic
head established at the inlet opening, and establishing the di-
rection and amount of flow across several intersections and
the ponding of water at intersections. "

" ( 4) The portion of Madden :Road East of Fo:x\\DOd Drive has not
been constructed. This is not an area of im:nediate con-
cern unless the developer plans to include this street
and lots #163 and #485 in the proposed final plat. Fur-
ther, if the developer intends to not build the street
at all, then I v..ould instruct the developer to obtain
Planning Commission approval for this major change in
the approved preliminary plat."
"(5) As of my last review of the subdivision, the drainage in-
let between lots #156 and #157 was not constructed; this
of course v..ould need to be completed before final approval
of the street and drainage construction could be made. "
Torrmy Bond, Bond Consulting Engineers, then referred to a letter dated October
5, 1979, from The Asphalt Institute which referred to an inspection rrade on
the Foxwood Subdivision phase in question. Said letter stated the Institute
had noted several deficiencies which may or may not be controllable due to
the vagueness of the city ordinance. The main deficiency being lack of quality
control during construction phase with the other deficiencies being relevant to
a lack of standard construction procedures as set forth in city ordinance.
Said letter also brought out the project would be acceptable as is because of
the thickness of the asphalt surface and, hopefully, some good densities on this
surface and the surface voids which are result of poor workmanship v..ould not
be of long term detriment to the quality as traffic would seal these voids.
Mr. Bond reiterated what the Institute mentioned insofar as inadequacy of present
city ordinance.
Mike Boyd, developer, was recognized. He stated he was not familiar with Mr.
Smith 1 s submission letter disapproving the subdivision. In discussion, it was
brought out that City Eng. Smith had asked the developer to make 3 compaction
tests. It was the developer 1 s contention that the city engineer had approved
paving streets before said tests had come in, and that as far as he knew, 95 %
or better was his estimation of test(s) compaction results. He further stated
he felt his canpany was a reliable, trustw:>rthy enterprise and they were try-
ing to produce good streets and endeavoring to do a good job.
Mr. Bond again took the floor and stated the street contractor had tried to
stay within a reasonable tolerance limit for a city street, plus or minus l/8th
of an inch, keeping in mind that different contractors might come closer than
others in this respect.
Drainage difficulties were entered into at this time, but Chairman Cavender ruled
to hold this item of business in abeyance until such time the street development
process had been cleared up. Canpaction test results were next reviewed with
the following figures mentioned: 100.04; 96.7; 104.1. Cul-de-sacs: 83.6 and
84.8 unacceptable, but had been reworked with a hydrostatic roller on the orders
of City Eng. Smith.
Mr. Bond introduced a letter he wrote on Oct. 8, 1979 to City Eng. Smith ex-
plaining his recognition of poor street workmanship but the asphalt surfaces
are not subject to intrusion or infiltration of surface water in his estimation.
In said letter Mr. Bond outlined improvements that, in his professional opinion,
would be within the design parameters in the ordinance.
The membership voiced concern over why the city engineer was not present. At
this time, Corrm. White stated he felt that politics to a great extent and per-
I'&"'

sonalities to a smaller extent had played a part in the subdivision controversy.
Further, he said he believed the developers of Foxwood Subdivision were not "fly-
by-nighters" and were trying to do the best they could with meeting present
ordinance specifications. He recommended passage of the plat.
In ending the conversation concerning street specifications, the developer
stated that streets would improve with usage and traffic would ultimately
seal the voids. But he wanted it understood, also, that the streets did not
meet their demands either, but they were not substandard.
Drainage problems were the next order of business. 'Ibrrmy Bond stated basically
the same size of pipe specified in preliminary construction plans had been
adhered to except in one place where 24" pipe had been placed opposed to 30".
Mayor Reid then returned to the street compaction tests and stated that quite
possibly the reason why Mr. Smith had told the developers to go ahead and
pave without benefit of complete passage of all 7 tests taken was that he
had told l\1r. Smith that as long as 5 out of 7 had passed that he didn 1 t see
any reason to hold construction up. Mayor Reid then stated a council committee
had been set up recently to work on changing specifications for street con-
struction and he thought this is where some of the problems lie. Mayor Reid
reiterated the fact that he told Mr. Smith to go ahead and allow street con-
struction. He further stated he didn 1 t like the lcoks of the streets, but
he thought they would be durable. He recornrrended plat be approved and sent
on to the city council.
l\1r. Bond ur_Xlated membership next on different phases of Foxwood ·Subdivision
bringing out that during the course of construction the developer had rroved
quite a bit of dirt around in order to meet with federal insurance require-
ments and elevations had to be changed in order to better design the sub-
division. He said that drainage structures built would meet the demands of
stonn water as reg:uired by ordinance. He then apologized to the membership
for not bringing back deviations in construction plans for stonn drainage
as this was accomplished over a period of time and it was not premediated.
He further stated the drainage would not be a problem in other phases of the
subdivision as far as he knew and his firm felt reasonably content that no ·
flood or water dama.ge would be done to any home in the area.
Discussion t.lien centered around Madden Road construction. Mr. Bond said the
developer did not wish to develop said street any further as it was not
economically feasible.
Comm. White rroved, seconded by Corrm. Morgan, to recommend approval of Phase
VI-B, Foxwood Sub., Final Plat, with the following stipulations: (l) The de-
veloper finish "stub" of street out (Madden Rd.) or at least delete 2 lots
from plat. (2) Construct a drop drainage inlet between lots 156 and 157. (3)
Developer place a two year "warranty" on the streets for maintenance that is
acceptable to the mayor. MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS R. C. VOTE.
Chnn. Cavender distributed a draft copy of proposed .Ma.ster Street Plan for study.
A cormni ttee comprised of Commissioners Lock and Betts . was set aside to work
on priority street improvement project listing for submission to Planning
Corrmission with final recanmendation to go to the council in Resolution fonn.

APPROVAL AND/OR CORRECTION OF MINUTES:
Planning Commission Secretary Gerren reported a change in Minutes of October 8,
1979, would be required. She said Martha Boyd's rezoning petition, at her re-
quest, needed to add I.Dt #8 to Grace Brown Sub. rezoning request fran R-1 to C-3.
Said change was effected in newspaper public hearing notice. Whereupon, Camm.
Wooley rroved, seconded by Comm. Betts, to approve the Minutes of Cctober 8, 1979,
with aforementioned correction/change noted. Approved by voice vote. MOI'ION

NON-AGENDA: MEMO FRCM CO!v1MISSIONER BEITS REFLECTING HIS NOTES FRCM CHAMBER MEETING:
Chnn. Cavender distributed a copy of al::ove referenced mEmorandum dated Nov. 12,
1979, reflecting topics of discussion heard durmg a Nov. 1, 1979 Chamber of
Canmerce Transportation Cc:mnittee meeting. Chnn. Cavender reported Corrm. Betts
had attended said meeting at his request and he thanked Mr. Betts for the update.
DEVIATION IN AGENDA: EAS'IVIEW SUB. , PHASE VI, PRELIMINARY PlAT:
With consent of mEmbership, Chnn. Cavender deviated fran published Agenda to hear
Bond Engineers representative, Bill OWens, concerning the referenced subdivision.
Chrrn. Cavender proceeded to read sul:mission letter frc:rn said finn dated Nov. 2,
1979. The finn outlined in the letter that the Preliminary Plat had been approved
in September of 1976, and it was their understandmg it had been approved; sub-
sequently, work had been done on the construction of water and sanitary sewer fac-
ilities. However, construction was stopped before the street was corrpleted.
The owner, Dupree Company, would now like to proceed with construction of streets.
In discussion, it WaS brought out the sewer ban on western part of the city had
complicated co:rrpletion of aforementd:.oned subdivision, but since the Sewer Dept.
now had discretion for tie-ons to the system, the project could be finished.
Bill owens requested the develop:nent be allowed to continue as per original pro-
posal.
City Eng. Smith suggested the following changes in plat: (1) Nina Circle be
changed to another street name. (2) I.Dts 1 and 23 be altered in order to allow
ten feet of additional right-of-way for James Street, reflecting twenty-five foot
set-backs on side for I.Dts 1 and 23 versus proposed fifteen foot set-backs.
City Eng. Smith mentioned, for record sake, that he didn't like the street jog
where Shannandoah Street goes into Nina Circle, but a change in the plat would
not be in order under aforementioned construction circumstances.
Mr. OWens reported he \.\Duld have to get approval from ~'Vater and Sewer Depart-
ments on their utility lines in the subdivision installed previously.
City Eng. Smith stated he would prefer street and drainage plans not be approved
as there were some problems that he felt should go to the city council. Mr.
OWens countered by stating the plans that his finn sul:mitted in 1976 were correct.

NON-AGENDA: GREGORY PlACE SHOPPING CENTER CCMPLEX/TRAFFIC PROBLEMS:
Harold Gwatney, developer, presented preliminary plans for above referenced
shopping center developnent. He stated two exits had not been opened as
yet -T. P. White Dr. and Gregory Street locations, and if the weather held
up, within a period of two weeks 1 time, the crews would have the access
open to Bailey Street. He said he was also working with the State Highway
Dept. to improve traffic conditions at said site. The right-hand corner
of exit at Andy 1 s Restaurant was discussed as being very dangerous as the
motorists maneuvering this turn has to get in far lane in order to make
right-hand turn .as radius of exit is not engineered correctly. He reported
he would work on this problem. The good possibilitity of acceleration and
deceleration lanes in and out of the development was discussed thoroughly,
and Mr. Gwatney said he was working hard on this prospect for near future.

and he stated he was against C-3 rezoning because it would be incompatible
with C-2 inmediately across the street and shopping center site located to
back of the lots up for rezoning. Mr. Ben Rice spoke in behalf of his mother
who said she rejected the idea of C-3 but had no objection to C-2. Mr. Throck-
morton agreed with C-2, also. Petitioner was not present to give permission

DISCUSSION: REZQi!ThJGS:
City Eng. Smith reported he has been studying what he as a city engineer should
be doing insofar as advising membership on rezonings. He said the corrmission
needed to be made aware of when in time zoning changes had been made. He
said this would help with the overall zoning of the city.
DISCUSSION: SUBDIVISION CHANGES INSIDE AND OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS/REGS:
City Eng. Srni D.'! reported the revisions his office had been VDrking on covering
above referenced items were alrrost rronurnental in nature and it was going to
take more time to do it. He said the first thing that needed to be done was
the adoption of our Master Street Plan along with booklet that goes along with
it. After this has been accomplished, he said revisions for requirerrents on
streets and drainage would come next with inspection/enforcement being final
phase which is left ·to tl1e city council.
MASTER STREET PlAN DRAFT:
Above referenced map was distributed with only one change needed according to
City Eng. Smith. He said regs. for special Estate Streets in the county would
need to be added. Mr. Ben Rice approached the mEmbership and requested they

please consider placing back on the Master Street Plan a proposed east-
west street from Marshall Rd. to Redmond Road approx. 3/4 of a mile
in length, being an extension of Gregory Street. City Eng. Smith stated
he had taken this proposed route off of the Master Street Plan Map as he
didn 1 t want to make Gregory Street an arterial street. Final consensus
of opinion reached was to lllave Mr. Rice 1 s proposal on new Master Street
Plan Map for right-of-way purposes in the future.
City Eng. Smith stated he was thinking of changing four-way stop sign at
McArthur and Gregory Streets to a two-way stop sign giving Gregory Street
the right-of-way. No fornal vote was taken on change to be ma.de.
Mike Wilkinson agreed to serving on Street Improvement Priority committee
presently meeting to come up with short and long range project proposals to
Planning Commission and city council for adoption through a Resolution.
