PUBLIC HEARING(S):
REQUEST TO APPROVE PLAT(S): REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAT Base Meadows PH
V-A Lots 87-103 and Base Meadows PH V-B Lots 104-119
City Engineer Whisker explained that the lights were installed in PH
IV, adding that the Corp. of Engineers in Vicksburg, Mississippi is
reviewing the plans. He related that the developer has decided to
hold off on development of the area beyond the creek, which is labeled
Base Meadows PH V-B Lots 104-119. He explained that they are only
requesting approval for PH V-A Lots 88-103, adding that all the lots
front Aviator Drive except for the lots in Aviator Cove. He then
explained that the developer has added a “hammerhead T” at the end of
Aviator Cove instead of a turnaround. He stated that it would be
temporary until PH V-B is approved. He stated that this phase would
complete the loop from Hwy. 107 connecting back into PH II on the
backside. He stated that this is the only two temporary turnarounds
with this being the connecting point, adding that PH 5-B will be the
last part of Base Meadows that has not platted and completed.
Tim Lemons of Lemons Engineering stated that since they have not heard
back from the Corp. of Engineers, they are requesting that PH V-B Lots
104-119 be removed from the agenda. It was then clarified that PH V-A
is numbered as Lots 87 – 103 not 88-103.
City Engineer Whisker clarified that if they had heard back from the
Corp. of Engineers in a positive manner, then we would be proceeding
with PH V-B at this meeting.
Alderman Howard moved, seconded by Commissioner Peacock to approve the
Revised Preliminary Plat of Base Meadows PH V-A Lots 87-103 as
presented. MOTION CARRIED.
