My apologies for not posting more frequently. But we have been buried in the details of designing a new community! Since the Ada County Commission approved The Cliffs in December, our development team has been busy designing the first phase of the development – the essential nuts and bolts of streets, water lines and lots. With its well-tested Planned Community Ordinance, Ada County has applied some 70 conditions of approval on The Cliffs which we are working hard to satisfy in an expedient manner.

While this (literal) groundwork might seem unglamorous, it is exciting for all of us. Our vision for the most environmentally conscious master-planned development possible is now starting to take shape.

Assuming things move forward as planned, we are hopeful that the first homes will be under construction by early 2008. That would be about right for a project of this size. By contrast, we are just now starting construction of streets and pipes on Hazelwood Village, a 605-home neighborhood at Lake Hazel and Five Mile roads that was approved by the county last summer. So, if it seems things aren’t moving along, they are actually right on schedule.
