Summary
The Centerton City Council unanimously approved Ordinance 2026-13 on April 27, 2026, accepting the final plat that creates single-family lots 66–132 for The Pines subdivision phase five. The developer reported 67 lots and staff confirmed required warranty and performance bonds.
The Centerton City Council adopted Ordinance 2026-13 at a special meeting April 27, accepting the final plat described in the ordinance as creating single-family residential lots 66 through 132 for The Pines subdivision phase five in Benton County.
Mayor Bill Evans called the meeting to order and a roll call showed a quorum with Cliff Thompson, Justin Calger, Wendy Henson and Joshua Hagan present; Josie Reed and Colby Miles were absent. A developer representative, Lillian Bryant, introduced herself and said she was representing the developer and that the project consists of 67 lots just north of phase six and west of phase four. Bryant said the project had been presented to the planning commission on April 21 and that the commission recommended approval.
City staff outlined required financial guarantees tied to the plat: a water and sewer warranty bond of 550,293.44; street and drainage bonds of 1,357,897.37; and a performance bond of 29,436.75 for tree planting along Fortune Road, to be completed within 60 days of May 12. The ordinance text read into the record identifies the tract by legal description: Section 20, Township 20 North, Range 31 West, City of Centerton, Benton County.
A councilmember moved to suspend the rule requiring three separate readings; the motion was seconded and passed on roll call. Joshua Hagan moved to adopt Ordinance 2026-13, seconded by Wendy Henson. The meeting record shows affirmative roll-call votes from Thompson, Clagett (transcript spelling), Henson and Hagan, and the ordinance was adopted by the members present.
After the vote, council and staff exchanged brief administrative items about invoicing and scheduling. The ordinance adoption allows the developer to complete remaining staff reviews and secure building and site permits subject to the city’s standard permit and inspection requirements.
The council did not record any amendments to the ordinance during the meeting. The meeting record does not indicate a formal timeline for final plat recording or the specific date when permits will be issued; those steps remain subject to final departmental approvals.
