Settle City Clerk/Treasurer City Attorney City of Van Buren, ArkanArkansas ;_11D1C1 © Q 111 North 12'" Street • Van Buren, Arkansas 72956 VAN BUREN CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR JOE HURST AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: WALLY BAILEY,PLANNING DIRECTOR SUBJECT: AMENDMENTS TO THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS AND MINIMUM STREET STANDARDS DATE: NOVEMBER 17, 2020 The City Subdivision Regulations and Minimum Street Standards establish the criteria to follow when designing and constructing storm drainage street construction. The current regulations do not acknowledge the Public Works Standard Specifications and the Standard Drawings for Public Works Construction. Though it has been understood and implied that the Standard Specifications and Standard Drawings have existed for the purpose of providing standardization of all public works construction in the City of Van Buren these documents the Subdivision Regulations and the Minimum Street Standards have not acknowledged the requirement to utilize these documents in the design and construction of storm drainage and street improvements. To remove any doubt or question about the applicability of the Standard Specification and Standard Drawings, I have proposed amendments within the Subdivision Regulations and Minimum Street Standards. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on these amendments at the October 6,2020 Planning Commission meeting. After discussion the Planning Commission voted affirmatively to recommend the City Council approve an Ordinance making these amendments. Please contact me if you have any questions.
