Planning Commission To Review Margaritaville Changes and 76 Homes Slated For Canal Road

Orange Beach growth goes before the planning commission

As dirt begins to turn at the site of the new Margaritaville Resort, officials from The Wharf Landing are seeking to subdivide and rearrange some of the lots at the site. The property sits on the north side of the Intracoastal Waterway across from The Wharf. A former project for the site, Bama Bayou, was shuttered after being bogged down for years in a mire of lawsuits.
Developers will come before the Orange Beach Planning Commission on July 14 at 4 p.m. in council chambers at city hall. Two requests will come before the commission from the developers during the meeting.
First, Sawgrass Consulting will request to subdivide lot five into two lots and are looking to re-subdivide lots one and four of the property.
Plans revealed earlier this year show details from Sawgrass Consulting about the development of the waterfront district of the project.
