Commission recommends approval of Timberbrook Estates preliminary subdivision; developer to convey pedestrian strip to school
Summary
The commission recommended preliminary approval for Timberbrook Estates (S-5269), a 139-lot R1 single-family subdivision adjacent to an existing subdivision and a school; developer agreed to convey a 10-foot strip to the school corporation for a sidewalk connection.
The Tippecanoe County Area Plan Commission voted unanimously on May 21 to recommend preliminary approval for the Timberbrook Estates major subdivision (S-5269), a proposed 139-lot R1 single-family development adjacent to an existing R1B subdivision and directly north of a school.
Petitioner representative Patrick (Pat) Williams of T Bird Design described the layout and noted the developer worked with the county highway department to relocate the entrance and provide a connection to an existing subdivision to the west. Williams said the developer agreed to transfer a 10-foot strip of land to the school corporation so the school can build and maintain a sidewalk allowing pedestrian access from the subdivision to the adjacent school.
Staff reported the subdivision previously held a similar approval about eight years earlier and that most conditions were standard. The record shows a subdivision variance for a half-width road improvement along County Road 600 was previously granted by the County Commissioners and was noted in the APC hearing. Bonding was discussed but no specific bonding request or amount was stated on the APC record.
The commission recorded a unanimous ballot for approval of the subdivision and the related variance matters considered by the commission. Staff recommended approval with standard conditions, and the developer concurred with staff comments and asked for the commission’s approval.
The petition proceeds through required county approvals and bonding procedures before final platting and permit issuance; the transcript did not specify a construction schedule or bonding amount.
