Timber Sky is a proposed 1,300 residential dwelling unit development.  The development proposes a mixture of high, medium, and single-family residential units combined with commercial service and open space on 197.58-acres.  An Annexation, Concept Zoning Map Amendment and Preliminary Block Plat were approved by the Council on November 15, 2016.  Timber Sky will be developed in four phases with both on-site and off-site infrastructure improvements.  This final plat is the first phase and includes Blocks 1, 2, 3A, 7A, and 8.  In order to provide access to these Blocks, the collector roadway will be constructed from Route 66 to and including the interior roundabout.  A temporary 20-foot-wide secondary access road will be provided from the internal roundabout to the existing roundabout at Woody Mountain Road and Presidio Drive South. A detailed list of infrastructure improvements required with this phase is attached to this report.

A development agreement was approved in conjunction with the annexation, zoning map amendment and preliminary plat for Timber Sky.  This development agreement covers workforce housing, outdoor lighting, Homeowner's Association requirements and infrastructure plans.  A detailed list of infrastructure improvements for Phase 1 of the Timber Sky Development as required in the executed Development Agreement is attached.  An "Affordability Plan" was required to address how the 100 workforce housing units would be provided through out the Timber Sky development.  The Housing Division has reviewed and approved the "Affordability Plan" for this project which intends to provide 27 land trust units within this first phase of the Timber Sky development.
