The Pella City Council continues work to expand housing options in the community.

Assistant City Administrator Corey Goodenow says the council approved the preliminary plat for the Timberview Subdivision at their most recent meeting. He says the preliminary plat subdivides one 46 acre parcel into 95 buildable lots and one city park at the northern end of Hazel St. and Country Club Dr.

Goodenow says housing remains one of the biggest focuses for the council as they continue to work on expanding options locally. The Timberview project will have four phases to start with both single family and duplex homes built, as well as a park at the intersection of Hazel Street and East Park Lane. Additionally, the development will also include connections for Park Lane connecting Hazel Street and Country Club Drive to Main Street and 240th Place.
