New Development in Bull Shoals asks for plat approval - Public meeting Apr. 23

Dear all,


Following is a notice from the Bull Shoals Planning Commission on a plat for a new development. A plat describes the area to be developed, size of lots and other design proposals for streets, drainage and other services. These meetings focus on whether the proposals fits within the framework of present regulations regarding development in this area.

You'll learn a lot. Citizens are often frustrated by the fact that current regulations seem inadequate to provide sufficient protection of our water, adjoining landowners and the character of the neighborhood itself. However, these regulations are set by ordinances passed by the City or County, not the Commission. The Commission itself has authority only to enforce those ordinances and related regulations. Talk to your City and County officials if you have suggestions.

Strider Engineering has turned in a preliminary plat for Bluffs at Rivercliff, a proposed project next to Rivercliff Golf Course. It will be discussed at the planning commission meeting Wednesday, April 23 at 7PM at city hall. The public is invited to attend and comment. The approval of the preliminary plat is the go-ahead to begin construction. A vote will not be taken at the April meeting, but at a special or regular meeting in May.
