LAKEWOOD GOLF COURSE

A proposal to rezone 7.2 acres owned by the RSA to allow building 10 houses between holes on the Lakewood Golf Course in Pt. Clear has been resurrected and is to be considered by the Baldwin County Planning Commission during its February meeting in Robertsdale.

Three years ago the city of Fairhope's planning commission denied approval for a similar project (called Watershed West) over concerns about close proximity to holes on the course, but since that time the area has become within the county's planning area (county zoning was adopted for district 19 in 2021).

County planning department staff is also recommending denial in its current form.


Plan.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if RSA were to build condos on the fairways. I would give a lot to know where all of the antique heart pine and oriental rugs went when they turned the Hotel lobby into a Holiday Inn Express duplicate. The RSA Board members should investigate (assuming that they don't know).

Just build a wall around it.

Maybe DB wants to build his retirement home there?

The RSA proposed subdivision would be extremely DANGEROUS to the public: motorists and pedestrians entering off Battles Road. The plan was rejected 2 times previously by the Fairhope P&Z. It’s extremely UNSAFE!
