Commission discusses 'Sandy Acres' development, $1 million infrastructure commitment and TIF payback timeline

Dec 16, 2025

Staff outlined a proposed development agreement for the 'Sandy Acres' site in which the city would provide $1,000,000 in infrastructure funding (split among streets, water and sewer over two budget cycles) while the developer would install sidewalks, street trees, underground utilities and an on‑site detention basin; commissioners asked about stormwater, HOA maintenance and a TIF repayment schedule starting in roughly 22–27 years.

The full story

City planning staff presented a study session overview of a proposed development described in the meeting as 'Sandy Acres.' The staff overview said negotiations with the developer (referred to in the transcript as Allen/Allan Edwin/Edwyn/Holmes and related corporate names) would commit the city to up to $1,000,000 in infrastructure funding to serve the development, to be split equally between the local street fund, water fund and wastewater fund over the next two budget cycles.
