KIRKLAND PROJECT UPDATE – February 2024
Thank you for visiting our project website.
As we discussed, during the community meeting, we will be posting project information and updates, here on the Kirkland Project website, as the project progresses.
We recently completed one of the many developmental steps with Yavapai County, which was the submittal of our Sketch Plan (preliminary drawing) to County staff for review.
We have since met with Yavapai County Department Staff to receive technical feedback and receive input from each department regarding the initial Sketch Plan.
Following this meeting with Yavapai County, we have initiated the following:
- Hired a firm to complete a traffic impact analysis (TIA).
- Hired a local well driller to verify information related to the existing wells on the property, and to further expand the water report.
- Engaged our local project engineer to further discuss on and off-site improvements and the drafting of the preliminary plat.
- Begun the required studies from the County Environmental Services Unit
We are continuing our discussions on public safety specifically around the expansion of fire protection services not only for this property but also for the surrounding community, and ongoing discussions with the County related to Sheriff and Emergency Management.
Projects like this move slowly, there can be large gaps of time where a lot of technical work is being done but nothing of significance is left to report. Until such time as the Preliminary Plat is submitted to Yavapai County its first round of reviews and comments are returned to us there will not be any significant updates.
We appreciate those who have met with us over the last few months and will continue to have dialogue as the project progresses.
July 2024
We have had conversations with the local fire districts regarding the needs of the surrounding area.
We have had continued conversations with ADOT about the improvements at the junction.
We have responded to the input, comments and needs requested by the County and continue to work with the County to address the requirements of all departments.
