Council approves preliminary plat for Timberline Village, eight lots proposed
The council approved the Timberline Village preliminary plat, which proposes eight single-family lots on an extension of Quail Ridge Drive near 130 Eighth Street. Community Development staff said a nearly identical plat had been approved in 2021 but was not built; the current proposal mirrors that earlier plan.

Steve Franklin said the subdivision is zoned R-1S and that proposed lots are approximately 100 feet wide, so the development will likely include relatively large homes. He noted much of the wooded area in the plat footprint had been cleared several years ago and cited planned detention basins and grading shown on the submitted plan. The planning-and-zoning commission recommended approval subject to standard conditions.

Council moved to approve council letter 8,265 and the motion passed by voice vote. Staff said additional site-level issues (tree retention pockets, detention design) would be addressed through permit and final plat review.
