Development planned on White River

BULL SHOALS — The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a plat for a new neighborhood on unincorporated land on the west bank of the White River.

Records show the subdivision, Cane Island Estates, is to hold more than 120 lots on about 200 acres of former pasture south of Bull Shoals city limits.

According to a covenant document, McCracken Hames Development LLC plans to build single-family homes on the lots.

A stormwater pollution prevention plan required by law is posted at the site, according to a document signed by Danny Hames, president of McCracken Hames Development LLC.

Flippin is to provide water service to the neighborhood, and Marion County is to assume responsibility for a new road to the area. The developer has put in a waste disposal system for the subdivision, which received a permit from the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality.

The plat approval that passed the committee unanimously is contingent upon Marion County annexing the roads. Two other conditions are the final approval by the Flippin water department and the ADEQ's certification of the waste disposal system, which would occur after the first homeowner moved in.

Dave Plahm, a contractor working with Hames, told the committee that the developer needed approval of the plat to sell the residential lots.

The property is within five miles of Bull Shoals city limits, the area over which the committee has jurisdiction.

Property taxes from the subdivision are to go directly to the county government, said Wayne Almond, interim committee chair.

In other business at the end of the meeting, resident Rosemary Blus presented the committee with a petition she said 25 residents had signed. She said the petition suggests building codes require garages and storage units at residences be no larger than the living space at the residence.

The garage restriction and other provisions of the petition reflect the attitudes of residents of the Ferncliff Point neighborhood regarding their neighbor Raymond Plaster's recent construction, she said.

Busch,

So far it has. This development is across from Gastons and is being watched carefully. So far no runoff on heavy rains. I think they are well aware of the overlook fiasco...Davy Wotton and I regularly take pics of this as well as the one just down stream from Stetsons. This one actually concerns me more then the one upstream at the moment. There is some bare dirt that is exposed but no runoff on the last couple of rains.
