Tabled 8-0

Background:
This item was pulled from Consent by Councilmember Turk.

Discussion:
Turk said she drafted the original resolution of intent for this item, but a couple of things need to be added to the RFQ to keep it in line with her original vision. She said she’d like to work with city staff to get those changes made and bring the item back in a month.

The council voted 8-0 to table the resolution until Oct. 4.


2. Reallocate CDBG-CV funding for Covid-19 Outreach, Testing and Protection (Details)

A resolution to approve a budget adjustment in the total amount of $557,298.00 to reallocate CDBG-CV funding for covid-19 outreach, testing and protection.
Tabled 7-0

Background:
This item was pulled from Consent by Councilmember Kinion.

Discussion:
Councilmember Scroggin said he would be recusing from this discussion and vote. Scroggin said he’s on the board of the Community Clinic, which would receive nearly $74,000 in funding under this proposal.

Natasha Coleman, chair of the Community Development and Assistance Programs Advisory Board, said the board met and requested this item be pulled to allow for more discussion about the resolution.

Three people spoke and asked the council to vote against the resolution. They said the money would be better spent on programs that focus on housing for low-income residents who are affected by the pandemic.

Turk said she wants to make sure the city doesn’t lose the funding by waiting too long to accept it. “That’s a lot of money to potentially lose,” said Turk.

Yolanda Fields, the city’s community resources director, said if the item is tabled, she’ll check with HUD to make sure there’s enough time to reallocate the funding before it’s too late.

The council voted 7-0 to table the item until Sept. 20


Unfinished Business

1. Raze and Removal of Structures at 2141 N. Green Acres Road (Details)

A resolution to order the razing and removal of a dilapidated and unsafe structure on property owned by Rose Mary Austin located at 2141 N. Green Acres Road in the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas, and to approve a budget adjustment in the amount of $33,894.00.
Tabled Indefinitely 8-0

Background:
A fire damaged a home on Green Acres Road in April 2021, and while the owner stated their intent was to clean up the property, staff said minor work that began in the following months has since ceased. Inspections revealed piles of junk and unsafe debris remain on the property, and that there have been no repairs to the home which remains without electricity, without water service, and is open to the elements. Staff said the owner has pursued assistance from the city’s Community Resources department, but the cost of repairs exceeds the housing rehab and repair program scope. The owner stated in November an intent to sell the property, which is listed for sale.

Location:

April 5 Discussion:
The property owner said she is having financial difficulty, and doesn’t have a place to go until the home sells. She said she is currently camping in the home with her two large dogs.

Yolanda Fields, the city’s community resources director, said they could work with the applicant to try and find her some rental assistance while she waits for the home to sell.

“We want to help,” Fields said. “We will reach out again tomorrow to set up a time to visit with her.”

Scroggin said it’s possible the lot could be worth more than the cost of repairing. He said he’d like to table the item to allow more time for staff to help the property owner.

Bunch said she’s willing to take more time before deciding, but suggested a time period of 30 days since this has been an ongoing issue for a very long time. She said after 30 days the council could get an update on how the situation has evolved.

Jones said that’s a fair suggestion.

Two people who spoke during public comment said they’d also like the item to be tabled.

Jonathan Curth, development services director, said the item is at the council level because no progress has been made after many months of attempts. He said the goal is always to reach an agreement with the property owner in these situations, and if the council wants to wait 30 days, that should be plenty of time to reassess the situation and see if any progress has occurred after tonight’s discussion.

Bunch’s motion to table until May 3 passed 8-0.

May 3 Discussion:
City staff said no changes have been made to repair the property or improve the habitability of the structure since the last meeting. Some junk has been removed from the property area, however. Staff said they have also reached out to extend help to the property owner on several occasions, but the owner did not want to communicate with city staff so no offers to help have been accepted.

An attorney representing the owner said he was told by the owner that as far as she knows, nobody has reached out. He requested the item be tabled again to allow more time.

Wiederkehr asked the attorney if he would serve as the point person when communicating with the city. He answered yes.

The owner’s real estate agent said some yard work and junk cleanup has occurred. She said a dumpster has been filled and removed, and another is on site for further cleanup. Rainy weather has made cleanup difficult, she said. So far she hasn’t been able to find another affordable place to live that allows dogs, and she needs more time to solve the problem.

Council member Kinion said he thinks there’s been some progress and he doesn’t want to inhibit any possibility of a resolution before razing and removing the structure.

Turk suggested tabling the item for 60 days (until July 5), but to ask that the owner be in contact with the city herself or through someone else, that the inside of the property be cleaned up, and that the exposed parts of the home be closed in some way.

The council voted 7-0 to table (Jones was not present during the vote) the item until July 5.

July 5 Discussion:
Staff said there still have not been any repairs to the property, and no permits for repair have been made. Staff said they also reached out to the applicant’s attorney twice, and have not received any reply.

The homeowner spoke and said her niece has been having cancer treatment which has taken most of her time. She again said she has no other place to go and asked the council not to approve the raze and removal resolution.

The homeowner’s real estate agent said the house remains listed for sale and there have been some improvements made to the home including some cleanup work. The agent said the homeowner is not hurting anyone and just needs more time to take care of the problem.

One person spoke and said he was one of several volunteers who helped clean up the exterior of the property. He said he’s willing to do more, but wants to make sure there’s enough time before the home is razed. “I just need to know that my efforts are not in vain,” he said.

Scroggin said he doesn’t think the home can be brought up to code. “Whether it’s sold or not, it’s going to be a tear-down,” Scroggin said.

Scroggin asked City Attorney Kit Williams whether there’s any risk to the city to allow more time since this particular home isn’t on the verge of collapse.

Williams said he doesn’t think that would be a problem. I’m not saying it’s the right thing to do since it’s a policy issue, but I don’t think you should feel forced to (raze this particular home) because of any liability,” said Williams.

Kinion said what’s being heard tonight is a cry for compassion. Since the property has some guardians involved and someone is living inside, there’s no imminent risk to the city and more time should be granted. He suggested giving the owner another eight weeks.

Bunch said the homeowner is obviously struggling and more time is needed, but it’s concerning that it has been 15 months with no major progress. Bunch said she can’t in good conscience agree to allow the homeowner to stay in the house for another winter without any utilities.

Turk said she hopes the house is being marketed competitively to ensure it can actually be sold.

The council agreed to table the item for eight weeks.

Sept. 6 Discussion:
City staff said the property has been sold and they’d like the item to be tabled indefinitely to allow time to work with the new property owner.

The council agreed, and voted 8-0 to table the resolution indefinitely.


New Business

1. Amend §157.02 Development (Details)

An ordinance to amend §157.02 Development in Chapter 157 Notification and Public Hearings of the Unified Development Code to require public notification of administrative items and variances considered by the Planning Commission.
Left on the first reading

Background:
Administrative items and development variances reviewed by the Planning Commission are not currently listed in the city code section which identifies items that require public notification. City staff recommend updating the law to require notification for those items. The change would have a two-fold benefit, staff said. It would provide clear expectations for applicants, and it also ensure that the public receives notice when variances or alternative standards are requested.

Discussion:
Councilmember Kinion said he hasn’t had time to look at this ordinance, so he’d like to leave it on the first or second reading tonight.

Turk said she’d like to amend the ordinance to require expand the public notice rules and possibly leave public notice signs up until the issue is completely resolved at the City Council level.

Staff said they’ll discuss Turk’s idea and come back with some suggestions about several issues that need to be thought out, including how the signs will be updated between Planning Commission and City Council meetings to reflect new information, who will pay for the updated signs, etc.

The council left the ordinance on the first reading. The discussion will continue on Sept. 20.


2. Amend §97.070 Recreational Activities at Lakes Fayetteville, Sequoyah and Wilson (Details)

An ordinance to amend §97.070 Recreational Activities at Lakes Fayetteville, Sequoyah and Wilson to remove required fees at Lake Sequoyah.
Pass 8-0

Background:
City staff said earlier this year, the marina operator at Lake Sequoyah retired, which prompted an evaluation of how the city’s lakes are used by the public. It was determined that paying a marina operator to collect fishing and boating permit fees is more costly than the sum of the money generated from those fees each year.

Plus, staff said removing the requirement for fees at Lake Sequoyah would remove financial barriers, making fishing more available to the entire community. It would also provide some opportunities with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission through the Family and Community Fishing Program.

The changes were discussed and unanimously approved at last month’s Park and Recreation Advisory Board meeting.

Discussion:
City staff reiterated that it costs more to pay someone to collect the fees than the city receives from those fees.

Decision:
The council advanced the ordinance to the third reading, and voted unanimously to approve it.


3. RZN 22-030 (2178 E. Huntsville Road/Alban) (Details)

An ordinance to rezone that property described in rezoning petition RZN 22-030 located at 2178 E. Huntsville Road in Ward 1 for approximately 6.01 acres from RSF-4, Residential Single-Family, 4 units per acre and R-O, Residential-Office to CS, Community Services.
Pass 8-0

Background:
The property is in east Fayetteville on the north side of East Huntsville Road about 700 feet west of Crossover Road. It contains two parcels and is developed with one single-family home. The site has a gentle slope with an open stormwater channel and a pond on the eastern side of the property. The applicant has shared an intent to develop the property with a mixed-use development containing multi-family residential and commercial uses.

Both city planners and the Planning Commission recommend approval of the request.

Location:

Discussion:
One person spoke in favor of the ordinance.

Decision:
The council advanced the ordinance to the third reading, and voted unanimously to approve it.


4. VAC 22-018 (West Sligo Street and South Razorback Road/Meadow Vale Development, LLC) (Details)

An ordinance to approve VAC 22-018 for property located at West Sligo Street and South Razorback Road in Ward 1 to vacate a portion of street right-of-way.
Tabled 8-0

Background:
The unbuilt right-of-way is north of the intersection of Brower Avenue and Sligo Street. It dead ends into private property after extending approximately 430 feet going north of Sligo Street. The right-of-way itself is not within floodway or floodplain, though the property to the north which it abuts is impacted by both, staff said. A previous request to vacate the subject right-of-way was tabled indefinitely at a Planning Commission meeting on Jan. 14, 2019. A property line adjustment recorded with the county in April consolidated five lots adjoining the subject right-of-way to the west into a single property.

The applicant proposes to vacate the unbuilt right-of-way representing an extension of Brower Avenue. In their request letter, the applicant suggests vacating the right-of-way will facilitate development on properties immediately to the east and west.

City planner are in favor of the request, but the Planning Commission voted 8-0 to recommend denial. Commissioners who spoke in opposition mentioned issues with an internally focused development pattern, loss of opportunity for future connectivity, and the right-of-way’s presence on the Fayette Junction Master Plan.

Location:

Discussion:
City staff said the applicant has requested that the ordinance be tabled until the Oct. 4 meeting. The council agreed.


5. Amend §31.30 Office of City Clerk – Treasurer (Details)

An ordinance to amend §31.30 Office of City Clerk – Treasurer (c) Duties to expand and clarify the City Clerk’s custodial and destruction of city records duties.
Pass 8-0

Background:
The City Clerk-Treasurer’s office is requesting to amend the code to ensure that the duties that have been placed on their office by the City of Fayetteville and the State of Arkansas are reflected in the city code.

Discussion:
There was no public comment.

Decision:
The council advanced the ordinance to the third reading, and voted unanimously to approve it.


6. Nelson Hackett Historical Marker (Details)

A resolution to allow the installation of an historical marker in honor of Nelson Hackett in the city flower bed in front of the Bank of Fayetteville.
Pass 8-0

Background:
This item is presented alongside another item on the agenda to renamed Archibald Yell Boulevard to Nelson Hackett Boulevard.

Hackett labored as a personal servant at a grocery store south of where the Bank of Fayetteville stands today on the downtown square. He eventually fled Fayetteville in 1841 in search of freedom. His escape set off an international dispute that eventually helped ensure Canada would remain a safe haven for people who were fleeing enslavement in the United States.

Hackett fled to Canada, which had recently abolished slavery and was under British rule at the time. He was accused of theft by a man who claimed to own him in Fayetteville. While abolitionists called on Canada to give Hackett his freedom, supporters of slavery insisted that he be returned to the United States. Eventually, Arkansas Gov. Archibald Yell formally requested that Hackett be returned to Fayetteville, and when that request was granted, Hackett was publicly whipped, tortured and sold back into slavery in Texas. The British government eventually passed laws that made similar extraditions much more difficult in an effort to prevent setting a precedent that encouraged slave owners to make accusations of offenses in order to reclaim enslaved people from the U.S.

The city’s Black Heritage Preservation Commission voted to recommend adding an historical marker on the square in honor of Hackett, and also to recommend the council change the name of Archibald Yell Boulevard to Nelson Hackett Boulevard.

» See our Aug. 8 story for more information

Discussion:
JL Jennings, chair of the city’s Black Heritage Preservation Commission, spoke in favor of the proposal. Jennings said the commission’s goal is to research and investigate sites of important struggles and achievements of local Black residents. Jennings said Nelson Hackett set out in search of freedom, but after finding it, he promptly lost it. However, his struggle, Jennings said, helped change the nation’s history for the better. He said the commission unanimously voted to recommend a marker honoring Hackett be placed on the square near the location of the store where he once labored as an enslaved resident.

Councilmember Jones said the marker will help tell not only the story of Nelson Hackett, but also the story of how the local community has progressed through the years.

Two people spoke in favor of the resolution. There was no public opposition.

Councilmember Harvey said the square gardens are a good location for the marker since it’s a popular place for people to gather. She said it would be nice to one day have the marker lighted at night.

Councilmember Turk said it’s important to get all of the local history out there, both the good and the bad.

“It’s unfortunate some of the things (Nelson Hackett) experienced, but he also changed history,” said Turk.

The council voted 8-0 to approve the resolution.


7. Rename Archibald Yell Boulevard to Nelson Hackett Boulevard (Details)

A resolution to rename Archibald Yell Boulevard to Nelson Hackett Boulevard.
Tabled 8-0

Background:
This item is presented alongside another item on the agenda to place an historical marker in honor of Nelson Hackett.

Hackett labored as a personal servant at a grocery store south of where the Bank of Fayetteville stands today on the downtown square. He eventually fled Fayetteville in 1841 in search of freedom.

Discussion:
Before the meeting, Councilmember Mike Wiederkehr also proposed an alternative name of “Henderson Boulevard” in honor of Ebeneazor Henderson and his daughter Clara Henderson. The two were the founders and teachers of Henderson School, which was the first publicly funded school in Arkansas. The school was located near the intersection of Olive Avenue and Sutton Street. It was organized to teach the sons and daughters of African-American residents in Fayetteville, many who had been recently emancipated during the Civil War.

In a letter to the city attorney, Wiederkehr said that Archibald Yell Boulevard transitions from School Avenue to College Avenue, and it would be logical and appropriate to join the two academically named streets with a nod to the Henderson School.

Wiederkehr also said it might be in the council’s best interest to do some more research and consideration before voting to rename the road.

JL Jennings, chair of the city’s Black Heritage Preservation Commission, said naming a road after Nelson Hackett is an important step in telling the complete story. Given the two (Yell and Hackett) men’s intertwined histories, Jennings said renaming the street in honor of Hackett is the most appropriate choice.

Marilyn Heifner, president of the Fayetteville Evergreen Cemetery Association where Archibald Yell is buried, said Yell is a well-respected figure. She said Yell always endorsed equality, and that stand cost him the governorship of Arkansas in his first political bid. Heifner said Yell’s action to sign extradition papers for Hackett was his legal duty after Hackett’s conviction in county court. She said if the council votes to rename the road, she hopes they will consider naming another street in Fayetteville after Yell.

Resident Bob Stafford said Archibald Yell Boulevard has long served as a dividing line that separates Fayetteville’s low-income residents from the rest of the city. He said the time is ripe for renaming the road considering the city has recently begun a series of improvements that will eventually provide more access for people who live south of the street.

Wiederkehr said his alternative proposal to name the street Henderson Boulevard is not to disrespect Hackett, but to highlight Fayetteville as an education center of Arkansas. He said the Henderson School was used as a rationale for Fayetteville being the chosen location of the state’s flagship university.

Jones said there are numerous African-Americans in Fayetteville’s history that were first in their positions and as such are deserving of being honored in the same way that the Henderson’s are. However, the commission, Jones said, didn’t want to slight any of those people, so it chose to take a different approach to honor someone with a unique legacy.

Bunch agreed with Jones, and said Hackett’s struggle had an international effect and she would prefer to keep the conversation centered around Nelson Hackett.

Councilmember Kinion said some merchants and residents who live on Archibald Yell Boulevard have told him they feel left out of the discussion by not being notified of a possible name change. He said he’s been asked to table the resolution to allow more time for consideration.

Councilmember Bunch said she also would like to hold the item until the next meeting if only to allow people with an address on Archibald Yell Boulevard a chance to weigh in.

“I think this street renaming has merit, but there might be an opportunity to better educate people that has been missed,” Bunch said. “I think we should hold it for two weeks, let these people have their say and then we’ll make a decision.”

The council voted 8-0 to table the resolution until Sept. 20.

Meeting duration

This meeting lasted 3 hours and 2 minutes, and was adjourned at 8:32 p.m.
