The Property is a 36-acre parcel as part of an overall 400-acre pine flat area located on the Intracoastal Waterway and Long Bayou in Orange Beach, AL. Of the 36 acres, 22 are designated wetlands and 14 acres are existing upland area. The upland area that will be built on was created by the Corps of Engineers over 75 years ago by placing spoil from the dredging operation in the construction of the intracoastal waterway and used as a maintenance spoil area for several years.

The dredging for a small 20-foot-wide channel to the docking area will be restricted to small outboard boats less than 26 feet in length. There will be no “extended in water docking” by using uncovered boat lifts for the 26 slips. This will eliminate any type of pollution.

The potential impact on wildlife will be minimum. The Development plans to live up to the name “Long Bayou Preserve”. The landscape design for the Property will be highly regulated through Covenants and Restrictions that will mandate the types of trees, plants and grasses that can be placed on the properties. These same Covenants and Restrictions will ensure there is no damage or destruction to protected wetlands on the property now and into the future.

The property is relatively flat with elevation changes of only a few feet. To guard against flooding on the property and downstream, there will be drainage systems designed to federal, state and local specifications that will minimize any impact. The volume runoff into waterways will be slowed down and cleansed by our abundant number of wetlands.
