FREEPORT A dramatically scaled-down proposal for a residential and commercial development from Texas-based developer D.R. Horton, Inc., planned for Walton County Road 30A, has gotten a largely positive reception from area residents and property owners.
Nonetheless, representatives of the 16 homeowners groups that have worked for more than a year in opposition to what originally was a plan for 180-unit triplex development (residential units arranged three together in a single building) on the 35.19-acre site on the edge of Draper Lake at Retreat Drive, still have some concerns about the plan.
And because county planning officials also have some questions about D.R. Horton s latest proposal for the site, now called Bluewater Landing, the developer will have to come back in front of the county s Technical Review Committee (TRC) next month in connection with what is now a proposal for 31 single-family homes.
