Built on Trust, Experience, and Results
Experienced Platting and Land Planning Support
Skyline Planning & Development, LLC helps property owners and project teams move through the platting and development approval process with clear direction, practical coordination, and consistent follow-through.
With more than 14 years of hands-on experience in subdivision platting, land development approvals, agency coordination, survey coordination, engineering support, and development review, Skyline understands how projects move from early feasibility to submittal, comments, approval, and recordation.
As a focused small firm, Skyline gives clients direct access to the person managing the work. That means fewer handoffs, clearer communication, and a more accountable process from start to finish.
Skyline supports property owners, developers, engineers, architects, surveyors, and land development teams with platting path review, lot splits, replats, amending plats, subdivision plats, agency submittals, comment responses, entitlement coordination, and recordation support.
The goal is to help clients identify the right approval path early, avoid unnecessary delays, and keep projects moving with confidence.
Focused, Responsive Service
As a small firm, Skyline intentionally maintains a focused workload so each project receives direct attention. Clients are not passed through layers of staff or left waiting for basic updates. When questions come up, coordination is needed, or agency comments require a response, Skyline provides timely support and clear next steps.
This focused approach is especially useful for surveyors, engineers, and project teams that need additional platting capacity without hiring full-time staff. Skyline can work directly with the client or behind the scenes while the primary consultant maintains the client relationship.
Efficient, Practical Project Support
Skyline is built around efficiency. Work is performed directly by an experienced platting and land planning expert, reducing unnecessary handoffs, repeated internal review, and duplicated staff time.
That means clients receive focused support from someone who understands the approval process, the role of survey and engineering teams, and the importance of clean submittals, clear communication, and follow-through.
From plat amendments and replats to subdivision plats, feasibility reviews, agency coordination, and recordation support, Skyline provides practical planning assistance designed to move projects forward with clarity and accountability.
Experience
Skyline Planning & Development, LLC was founded by Josh Kester, who brings more than 14 years of experience in subdivision platting, land planning, entitlement coordination, survey and engineering coordination, agency review, public-sector development support, and project management.
Josh’s background includes work with surveying firms, civil engineering firms, private development teams, property owners, and municipal review processes. This experience allows Skyline to understand both sides of the process: what applicants need to move forward and what reviewing agencies require to approve a project.
Skyline approaches each project with practical strategy, clear communication, and a commitment to helping clients move from uncertainty to an actionable approval path.
