Council accepts replat to clarify Bluff Cemetery property lines and maintain public access

The Springdale City Council approved a replat (RP 20-44) that adjusts property lines around Bluff Cemetery to clarify boundaries and create a tract the city will retain for public works access.

Planning staff described the replat as a subdivision reconfiguration that creates a blue tract and a yellow tract on city property; Public Works will retain an access easement through the newly created tract to maintain cemetery access. Staff said the change clarifies existing boundaries and provides additional options for future use.

Council members asked how many structures remain on the parcel; staff replied there is one house on the tract and that the house is planned to be kept. The council approved the replat and adopted the emergency clause by recorded vote 7-0.

The replat was presented as a long-term boundary clarification and did not include immediate redevelopment plans for the created tracts.
