Navajo County approves final plat for 20-lot Big Bear Estates in Lakeside with CC&Rs recorded
Summary
The board approved the Big Bear Estates final plat — a 20-lot single-family subdivision near Pinetop-Lakeside — subject to a 24-month financial assurance condition; the developer said CC&Rs and HOA rules will protect open space and fund maintenance.
Navajo County supervisors unanimously approved a final plat for Big Bear Estates, a proposed 20-lot single-family subdivision in the Lakeside/Pinetop area.
Planning staff summarized the application and said the parcel is about 24 acres with a dedicated riparian wildlife/open-space tract. Staff recommended approval subject to a 24-month financial assurance period required by state law. Developer John Otis told the board the project includes CC&Rs, a homeowners association to maintain roads and fencing, and restrictions to protect open space and wildlife habitat. "We went way out of our way to make sure that we did not intrude upon what we thought were sensitive areas," Otis said.
Supervisors asked about home-size limitations and streets and were told living area minimums and fence/landscaping designs would be enforced by the CC&Rs; the board approved the final plat and required the CC&Rs to be recorded with the project.
What happens next: Developer will complete required financial assurances and record CC&Rs; building permits and construction will proceed under county and state requirements.
