I’ve read the comments & it boils down to the following.
1. Residents overwhelmingly don’t want it!
2. Road improvements to accommodate traffic should be the developers responsibility.
3. This is clearly another attempt at a cookie cutter/anthill subdivision.
4. These are lots not one acre parcels!
5. When the timber was harvested it covered the investment cost.
6. The infrastructure support doesn’t exist.
7. The final approval should be the decision of the residents of the district, not a county commissioner or a bureaucrat appointed & not elected planning board. If your not a resident, you have no say. To complain about “unimproved” property tax? Wow!

If you want to stop the developers, buy the property. It’s capitalism, which y’all claim to ascribe to.

If I am sitting on 50+ acres and I get an offer I can’t refuse… I’m going to sell.

Am I supposed to suck the taxes and upkeep so YOU can maintain your “country living lifestyle” on your 1-acre lots at my expense? Do you plan to make me whole by paying those increasingly high taxes that I am subject to?

You people do not vote.

You keep allowing others to make your choices.

Hey! Maybe Dollar General will get approved for a new store at the SW corner of 196 and 95A. You think our county commissioners would approve that?

How can this be submitted for Development Review already when the Rezoning , the Future Land Use change, and the Barrineau Park Development Agreement just went through the Planning Board on July 2, 2024, and isn’t scheduled for a hearing for approval with the Commission until August 1, 2024?
Does someone think it is a done deal?

There is still time to contact the commissioners to talk about adverse impacts and quality of life issues!

Here is the video for the Planning Board hearings.
Unfortunately, they hold them at 8:30 am in the morning when most people can’t attend.

You can see from the development drawing that most of the homes will be on lots much smaller than an acre though there are a few large lot parcels.

There have been rezoning notices up for a week or so. There are plenty of jobs for this county. I don’t think people realize how large our metro is when you include the three Florida counties, Baldwin and Mobile. They are finally putting shoulders on 196 but I think I light at 29 and 196 is now inevitable.

People want the road improvements but don’t understand that in order to get the tax revenue to pay for it you have to have more residences. Residences show a need for improvement and their taxes pay for it.

I want one of the houses in the middle.
How many folks live in Molino anyhow, maybe 1500?
