Council approves two‑year extension for Sky Mesa Commons No. 5 plat to await Eagle Road reconstruction
Summary
The Gregory City Council approved TEC-2025-0002, granting a two‑year extension for the final plat of Sky Mesa Commons Number 5 to allow completion of Eagle Road reconstruction and to obtain the city engineer’s signature.
The Gregory City Council on April 1 approved a two‑year time extension for Sky Mesa Commons Number 5 (TEC‑2025‑0002), allowing the developer additional time to obtain the city engineer’s signature on the final plat while the Eagle Road reconstruction is completed.
The extension covers a 3.99‑acre final phase that includes 13 buildable lots and one common lot in the R‑8 zoning district. Staff told council the overall Sky Mesa subdivision covers about 98.35 acres in mixed R‑4 and R‑8 zoning and already provides more open space than the current code requires.
City planning staff explained the procedural history: the final plat for Sky Mesa Commons Number 5 was approved March 23, 2021, and the council previously granted a two‑year extension on March 1, 2023. The applicant asked for another two‑year extension because construction on Eagle Road is affecting access, marketing and pricing for the development; staff recommended approval. The staff presentation referenced ACHD’s (Ada County Highway District) reconstruction schedule as the reason the applicant requested more time.
Todd Tucker, representing Boise Hunter Homes, told the council construction drawings have been submitted to ACHD and the developer is in the city’s third review of construction drawings. Tucker said Eagle Road reconstruction had been partially completed and that the work remaining on the road — including a roundabout and a north leg to Amity — is expected to be finished in October, which the applicant said would restore access and marketing opportunities. “As soon as those plans are approved, we plan on beginning construction of the subdivision and getting the final plat routed and recorded,” Tucker said.
One remote commenter, Brian Bolt of 6092 South Cabolo Way in Meridian, said he had intended to comment on interdependencies with a nearby McKay Farm subdivision but that recent property acquisition by Boise Hunter Homes changed his remarks.
Councilman Cavanagh moved to approve TEC‑2025‑0002 “as presented, and include all staff, applicant, and public testimony.” The motion was seconded. The clerk recorded aye votes from Cavanagh, Little Roberts, Taylor, Overton, Strader and Whitlock and announced the motion carried. The motion passed and the time extension was approved.
The applicant told council he intends to begin construction and record the final plat after ACHD and city plan approvals are complete and after Eagle Road reconstruction improves access. No amendments or conditions were added to the extension request at the council meeting.
