ROBERTSDALE -- For the second time in four weeks, the Baldwin County Planning and Zoning Commission postponed a vote Thursday night on at least one of two major residential developments that could add more than 3,500 homes to the fast-growing county. The projects include a 1,400-unit housing complex in Stapleton and a more than 2,300-unit development south of Magnolia Springs. The commission spent more than two hours discussing and listening to comments on the latter project, a development called SweetBay, before pushing a vote back until November. Samaritan Development of Rome, Ga., wants to build the mixed-use community, which includes 2,324 residential units on 280 acres about five miles south of Magnolia Springs along Baldwin County 49. After the discussions, commission member Jerry Knaebel said he wanted more information and requested delaying the vote on the project.
Send the editor a letter. Letters may be edited for content and space. Please be respectful of each other; unnecessary personal attacks will not be published. Submission deadline is Fridays at 5 p.m. Send e-mailed letters to cclick@citizentelegram.com, or send signed letters to Editor, The Citizen Telegram, 132 E. Third St., Rifle CO 81650, and include name, location and phone number (only name and city/town will be printed in the paper). What happens? To the Editor: While much has been written about what the passage of ballot issues 3A and 3B means for Garfield School District Re-2, there has been little information provided about what will happen in the district if 3A and 3B do not pass. An obvious impact of not passing 3B would be the inability of the district to build an elementary school to replace Roy Moore Elementary in Silt.
A fight over which state agency should regulate modular homes -- considered by many the quickest way to replace the thousands of hurricane-destroyed homes -- has been temporarily resolved with an attorney general's opinion placing regulatory authority with the state contractors licensing board. The argument pits the Louisiana State Contractors Licensing Board against the Louisiana Manufacturing Housing Commission. Modular homes are factory-built structures that are delivered to a lot in components and assembled into a permanent home either on a slab or a raised foundation. Manufactured homes are built on metal chassis with wheels and hauled to the home site in one piece. They are also called mobile homes or trailer homes. While the wheels can be removed and the chassis mounted or tied to a foundation, the law still considers the structure moveable.
