HISTORY OF THUNDER RIDGE

 

PURCHASE AND PRELIMINARY DESIGN

The original property, which consisted of approximately 685.89 acres, was purchased in 1991. The original property was a ranch holding but we are unsure if it actually had a name; someone locally might know.

The three partners held onto the property for several years and then in 1995 retained Reginald Owens, a Phoenix based Land Use Planner, to analyze the site and to come up with an overall master plan.

In 1995 a plan was developed and a civil engineering firm produced a Preliminary Plat of the overall acreage.

The Preliminary Plat showed a planned development of 220 lots on 685.89, with an approved zoning of RCU-2 that called for a minimum lot size of 2 acres. Due to the steep topography in some areas of Thunder Ridge, lots range from the 2-acres to nearly 10 acres depending on location.

On August 19, 1996 Yavapai County approved the Preliminary Plat that showed seven phases for Thunder Ridge.

Final Plats:

Once the Preliminary Plat was developed the various individual plats were approved as follows:
