fviiNUTE S --PLANNIN G COM MISSION 11 TUESDAY :1 f\1A RCH 1 ~ L966
Th e Planning Commission meeting was called to ord e r at 7:00 P.M.
by Chairman White on Tuesday, March 1 , 1 9 66, with the following p e rsons
in attendance:
Cleo Cavender, Jack Price, S. J. Sma rt, Bill Lehman, Johnny Wright,
Faybourn Curtis, Leo Jennings, Stuart Eurman, Dwight Little, Watson
Nixon, B. F.Thompson, George Burke, Mr. Morgan, and Daisy Olson, Sec.
Minutes of the two previous meetings were read by the Secretary:~ each
approved as read.
It was determined that final action had not previously been taken vvi th
regard to the petition for the closing of Neal Street. Upon motion
by-Cl .e_o_Gair_e:nder~_second b;y: Johnn itJri~ and all members voting in
favor of the same, it was determined that the Commission opposed the
closing an~_,sthat it should be recommended to the Council that the Street
be left as;vJith the thought that it would be needed as a public access to
the highway in future years.
There had been no definite determination on prospective z oning along
Highway-67-167; and the item was tabled for later consideration.
A lengt hy discussion concerning the proposed development of land for
Firestone Company ensued. Upon motion by Cleo Cavender, with second
by Johnny VJright a motion was passed to accept the plat as presented,
W.th the area presently shown for gas pumps being utilized for parking
spaces:J and no gas pumps being allowed. The Commission was polled with
the following result; 6 ayes:~ 1 nay, 1 abstension, and the Chairman
stated his original feelings had not changed.
A consideration of Beechwood Addition was presented by w. VJ . Nixon , Jr.,
Dwight Little, B . F. Thompson and J. C . George. Mr. George stated that
in his opinion the land was marginal in desirability for residential use;
that it was above flood plain, that it could be drained since there was
approximately 2 foot variation over entire area; that no water or sewer
fa c-i-1-i-t-ie-s-ha-d-be.e.n-de s.ignat_e d ,___b_ut _t _ba t____}3 i 1_1 of A_m3 ura Q_c~ g ua rant e e s
-tl::l-i-S--W-iJ.l-b_e_done j n dmz._e_l_Q_pment -~----------------------
Mr. Nixon stated that it would be the desire of the developer not to have
to build sidewalks; but that if they were required by Council or Engineer :1
and if developer proceeded with development that all requirements would be
met. Mr. Jennings stated that he would like to see sidewalks in all sub-
divisions.
Mr. Nixon gave a lengthy discussion of the difficulties of preserving
possible land for development against encroachments by public utilities
for easements and that he was presently facing such an easement from a
gas line company. That he had --in the past vigorously opposed all
efforts of the pipe line people--and would continue to oppose them; that
he did not want the easement across his property at any cost; but that
his best hope was to contain them w-ithin an a r ea _least detrimental to his
personal use of the land. He pleaded with the Commission to grant Final
Approval to the Plat presented in the hope that approval from the city
would give him the necessary lever.
He went on to state ~-that he wanted the record to reflect that the developer
was not binding themselves to go ahead with development if at any time -
later they found they could not meet the city's requirements; but that if
they now took the necessary time to follow the set routine and procedure
to meet proper planning, they were delaying to the advantage of the pipe
line people. If it develops that 11 We cannot meet the requirement of the
Council or the City Engineer, we will stop right there and expect the
Council and the Commission to withdraw any approval given at this time."
It was moved by Jack Price with second by Cleo Cavender that Final
Approval be given. The motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Nixon further remarked that previous annexation ord ers had been
rendered by the County Court and that unless the Planning Commission
had objections, if the City had not yet prepared Ordinances conf±rming
these areas in Section 28 to the City, that he would have Ordinances
prepared and presented to the Council for its action.
rllr. Eurman briefly discussed possible federal matching funds available
for engineering studies on water, street and sewers. It was recom-
mended that J. c. pursue the matter to determine any benefits avail-
able to the City.
It was suggested by the Chairman that the Secretary give further study
to the legal procedure necessary for the renaming of streets.
There being no further business the meeting 1-IJas adjourned.
MINU TES--April 5, 1966
The Planning Commission was called to order at 7:30 P.M., Tuesday,
April 5, 1966, with the following persons in attendance: T. P. White,
Chairman; Fa.ybourn Curtis, Jack Price, Bill Lehaman, Leo Jennings,
Ferrell Gray, Tommy Bond, Daisy Olson, Secretary,and J. c. George,
City Engineer.
f\1 inutes of the Ma rch meeting were read and approved.
J. C. reported that Firestone had followed the Commission's recom-
mendations and were planning to build without gas pumps.
A prelimhary plat of Little Big Horn Estates Sub-Division was
presented. It was noted that the CoQDty Planning Commission had
given its approval. It was recommended that the minimum required set-
back of 35 feet be followed, rather than the 25 foot as sho~>m on the
plat. It was stated that an oxidation pond was available for sewer
service in the area.. It was further recommended that efforts be made
by the respective owners that Minn equa Place be a connecting street
with that in the adjoining sub-division, rather than each being dead-
ends as shown. It was moved by Jack Price with second by Bill Lehman,
that the Commission give the plat preliminary approval subject to the
above-mentioned notations together with receipt of preliminary plat fee
by the City Clerk. All members present voted in favor of the motion.
The Final Plat of Dupree Second East Jacksonville Subdivision ~
Phase 2, 1tra s submitted for consideration. It was recommended by J. D.
that final approval not be given until all utilities a nd streets are
in, inspected and approved. It was moved by Leo Jennings with second
by Faybourn Curtis that the plat be given approval 3 without signature,
awaiting approval of the streets and utilities, payment of the fee and
signature of owners. All members voted in favor of the motion.
,--
Mr. Eurman expressed regret that the Land Dev elopment Code had
again bogged dovm in comm:i, ttee study, but that within three months 2 he hoped to be b-to present a revised edition to Jacksonville for their study. m,__~..-. "ha-ln,-,. ~,..,.L~,,-,-d-h~'>Y' h11~inP~~ _ t:hP. mP.P.t.inQ: WR .S R.diourned.
MINUTES--May S ~ 1966. 125
The City Planning Corrunission held its regular meeting at 7 :30 P.M • .,
Tuesday, May 3 , 1966, v.Jith the following persons in attendance:
T. P. \fhi te ,/Chairman~ Bill Lehman, Odes Goodsell, Cleo Cavender, Fay-
bourn Curtis, Da isy Ol,son, Th-'light Little, Doug Wilkinson, J. C. George,
Bill Henry of l\1etroplan and Mr. J:enkins of KGMR.
Minutes of the April meeting ~'lere read and approved. It was noted there..:.
in that two p 1ats had been approved pending fees being paid. It was
announced that this had been done and that the Council had given its
approval to both.
A request that Dupree Street be changed to Smart Dirve was read by the
Chairman .. It vms determined that at the June meeting all desired street
nal"tre-cnange-s-thruughout-the-c-:tty-should-be-ef'-fected-a-t-one -t~ ,~an d-the
request was tabled until that time.
A layout of a proposed development in the LRAFB Main Gate Development
Area was presented by the Chairman. It was noted that a proposed
commercial layout was included within said area where the present
zoning does not allow such use. It was further deterrd..ned that further
study should be given the proposal with regard to the layout of streets to
find if they allign with those previously designed on the Master Street
Plan. It ~'las the concensus of the group that the matter be taken under
admivsement and stludied further before any action.
The 5th Section of Marshall Road Sub-division was presented by the
Chairman with a statement by Doug Wilkinson that he would clarify any
questions arising. It ~'las noted b y the members that dviations had been
requested therein from 35 foot se~-back lines to 25 foot on Lots L}-11.
It was the feeling of the members that this deviation would not appreciably
impair visibility on the turn-around street .
It was further requested that the r adiu s be 4 0 feet rather than h5 feet
(as required by the Ordinance) to the c urb on the said turn-around street.
J. C. stated that the difference of only 5 feet between curb and property li
as require a unaer tne OrdJ.nance did-not-leave-suf'fi-cient working room for
J.ns t~J. on arrd -e-p-a-i-r-ofvrate-~-1!'1:e~a:rrct-i-t-wa-s-,-the-ref-ore-:;-h±s-re-c-om=---
mendation that the forty foot radius to the curb be g r anted .
It was recommended by J. ,C. that a water plug be placed at the inter-
section of Phillip Drive and Hendrix Drive, which was not shown on the
preliminary plans. It was stated that ~'Vhen Phillip Drive was laid, the
builder and the city had agreed that a 2 inch line met all requirements
and that the builder had relied on the agreement and placed a 2 inchline.
Now that if a water plug is set at the intersection, this will mean tearing
out the 2 inch line and replacing it with a six inch line. It was J. C.'s
feeling that this was definitely needed for the additional development
in the area; but the commission recogni z ed the additional expense and
trouble to which the developer would be placed if the requirements were
insisted upon. It was suggested by the Chairman, and agreed upon by
other members in attendance, that J. c. get together with the developer,
~·1r, Hines and the Mayor to deterine whether or not a comprdmlise might be
reached in this matter.
Subject to the foregoing mentioned matters, and subject to the payment of
$10 preliminary plat fee to the City Clerk, it v'las moved by Bill Lehman,
with second by Odes Goodsell that the plat be given preliminary approval.
All present voted in favor of the motion.
There being nor further business, the meeting was adjourned.
There being a quorum in attendance , t he Ch airman called the Planning
Commission to order at 7:15 P. f,1 ., 'J.luesday, June 7, 1966.
It wa s determined by those in attendance that a J.etter of commen-
da tion be VJri tten and directed to the Director of ~1etroplan, Stewart
Eurman, for the service he had rendered to J acksonville during his
stay in this area.
IJ.. mot:Lon vms duly made, and seconded, and unanimously ad opted that
the replat of Briarfield Sub-division '~:lith the recommendation that the
same a lso be accepted by the City CounciJ..
I t was moved by Leo Jennings VJi th second by Cleo Cavender that Counc:tl
t a ke necessary act ion to change the name of Dupree Street to Sm a rt Street.
This h ad been requested by developer. All members voted in favor of the
motion. It was stated by the Secretary tha t an Ordinance should be adopted
to effect this change, a nd t ha t she would prepare it for Council action.
The Sketch Map of the Replat of the Little Rock Air Force Base Main
Ga te Development Are a was again consid ered; and it was shown to be in con -
