At the Daphne Planning Commission meeting on July 22nd a vote on the new zoning map passed unanimously.

This means the recommendation for council to adopt it will be on the agenda at the next City Council meeting. During the public participation I pointed out that whilst TimberCreek golf course had now been correctly identified as B-2 the course at Lake Forest was still dark green and there was still a key for this titled "Golf Course". Daphne does not have a "golf course" zone so Cathy Barnette made a motion that the map be ... << MORE >>

Citizens of Baldwin County will be asked to vote on a tax this November to support this Watershed Plan and more plans in the future. The Watershed Plan should be of much interest to Timber Creek residents. The draft plan goes so far as to suggest that the "service road" is still not dead.

The City of Daphne Planning Commission met last night (Thursday June 24th 2010) and on the agenda was a proposed amendment to the Daphne Land Use and Development Ordinance.
Regular readers may remember that on the current City of Daphne Zoning Map the golf courses at TimberCreek and Lake Forest are colored dark green and the key tells us that this means “Golf Course”.
