Save TimberCreek from Commercial Development

Whereas:
1. An application for Preliminary/Final Review has been submitted to the City of Daphne Planning Commission. The request, if approved, would authorize a subdivision of property located on the north and south side of TimberCreek Boulevard (Daphne, Alabama) consisting of 240.40 acres divided into five (5) lots, and;
2. The current zoning of the Magnolia 9-hole golf course is B-2 (commercial) and this, plus the development of Woodrow Lane as a service road for I-10, would make the new sub-division a prime target for commercial development, and;
3. This commercial development will likely have detrimental effects on the surrounding community, including increased through traffic on TimberCreek Boulevard, harm to local businesses in the Eastern Shore Center and Spanish Fort, noise pollution, light pollution and a negative impact on neighborhood integrity, and;
4. An increase in local traffic and harmful emissions will negatively affect environmental quality and the physical health of neighborhood residents, and;
5. As residents of TimberCreek, and/or concerned citizens of unwarranted commercial development and the destruction of hundreds of trees and areas of natural beauty, we are apprehensive about the long-term implications of this development on the economic and social health of the neighborhood.
We request that the City of Daphne Mayor, Council Members, and members of the Planning Commission:
a. Act to prevent the sub-division and subsequent commercial development, and;
b. Re-zone the area commonly known as Magnolia 9 as a Conservation Easement to bring it into line with the other golf courses in TimberCreek thus preventing the land being used for anything other than a golf course or reverting to a natural wilderness.
