For the past year or so, there's been concern that Bayfield is running out of approved lots for new homes. No new subdivisions have received final approval since around 2007, and after the housing bust, developers abandoned approved projects.
That included Dove Ranch north of the lots along Dove Ranch Road, the Highlands subdivision just past the top end of Dove Ranch Road, and the Southviews proposal from the Dove Ranch developer at the northeast edge of town.
Now the town has a preliminary proposal to fill out the Clover Meadows subdivision off Clover Drive. The existing streets are Lupine and Day Lily.
CMR Southwest Properties has turned in the initial sketch plan information for 51 lots. The sketch plan shows five multi-family lots just north of the already developed area fronting on Orchard Drive; and 46 single family lots south and east of the already developed area. The single family lots range from 10,800 square feet up to one half-acre and one acre-plus lot.
Town Manager Chris La May told the Times the sketch plan could go to the town planning commission on March 14.
However, the proposal says there's no current schedule for when development might happen, and they are still determining financial feasibility of the project.
