Timber Sky is a proposed 1,300 (maximum density) 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. The site is situated north and south between West Route 66 (“Route 66”) and Interstate-40 and east and west between Woody Mountain Road and Flagstaff Ranch Road.  The site slopes gently from south to north with most of the onsite drainage flowing toward an existing culvert under Route 66, which eventually discharges into the Clay Avenue Wash Detention Basin located north of Route 66.  There are no designated floodplains on the site.  In 2006, the property partially burned in a fire leaving a 700-foot-wide corridor of deforested land through the middle of the site.  The remainder of the site is forested with Ponderosa Pine.  The site has two pockets of slopes greater than 17% with other basalt rock outcrop features throughout the property.  A large amount of fill placed on site, which has the appearance of a steep slope, will not be protected.  An existing aboveground 69 kV transmission line that crossed the site in an east-west direction connecting to an existing APS substation at the southwestern corner of the property was under grounded with the development of the second phase of Timber Sky.

The applicant, Capstone Homes, is seeking Preliminary Plat approval for Timber Sky – Block 6 consisting of 51 single-family residential lots utilizing the Planned Residential Development (PRD) option conforming to the T3N.2 development standards and using a unique building type of “Cottage Home”.
