The gated community will include a community pool and cabana, environmentally friendly construction, stainless steel appliances, covered porches, lush landscaping and a decorative wall that will encircle the community. The 4.2 acres includes 2.4 acres of protected wetlands, which MHProNews understands cannot be tampered with.
City Commissioner Barry Gibson wanted the city to buy the property in 2010 and develop it into a city park, but that proposition was too expensive. The land was sold in 2013 for $600,000.
The homes will be built three feet above FEMA’s minimum flood elevation, which will also allow for cars to park underneath. The first two homes will be sited this fall. ##
