BOHEMIAN HALL ROAD DEVELOPMENT

During its August meeting Thursday, the Baldwin County planning commission will consider approving up to 396 new single family housing units in two separate developments along Bohemian Hall Road near its intersection with CR 48 (Fairhope Avenue) in southwest Silverhill. 

The Highlands of Fish River will be 138 lots (in 4 phases) and south of there Elizabeth Gardens, 260 lots (3 phases).

City of Fairhope has agreed to provide water to both, but no other utilities; developers are obligated to install necessary new water lines.  Sewage will be by private Baldwin County Sewer Service.

BEFORE ZONING REFERENDUM

Since both projects were submitted before the June 6 zoning referendum passed, they are not affected by the current development moratorium while the new district 14 committee meets to draw the new zoning map.

Meetings are held at the central annex on Palmer Street in Robertsdale, 4 PM. (First Thursday of every month).

So, Fairhope imposes a water conservation plan on its citizens and then turns around and agrees to provide water to 500 new houses in SIlverhill?

Is there a suicide hotline for municipalities?

As we have reported on this blog, the city has already invested over $12 million for new water wells, pumping stations, treatment plant and pipelines ... to relieve the current water shortages during summer months. Additional wells are being planned to keep up with demand.

I hope the revenue Fairhope generates from this endeavor will pay for another new well. We will need it considering the growth rate of Fairhope and the existing water problems.

Whoop! there goes the neighborhood! That is a lot of houses for a small parcel of land. Zoning boards and the county need to restrict density, but they will not fo it.

How long does it take to produce a new well? From start to the point of being able to use it ?

About six months to drill a well normally. But longer if new pumps and treatment filters are needed too.
