Gulf Shores, Ala. – (OBA) – One month after considering requests for 256 new residences in Gulf Shores, the planning commission’s May meeting is scheduled to address requests for 107 more. These two items include the Water Oaks subdivision, located south of Fort Morgan Road, and Osprey Landing, located on the growing thoroughfare of Coastal Gateway Boulevard.

The commission will meet on May 27 at 4 p.m. in council chambers at City Hall.

The Osprey Landing developers are looking for approval of a 42-lot subdivision for single-family residences. On the Water Oaks plan, developers plan to build 65 houses on a 40-acre parcel between Middle Brigadoon Trail and West Brigadoon Trail south of Fort Morgan Road.
