February 26, 2018

The 52 acres are located at 3811 W Nine Mile Road are essentially across street from Navy Federal at the site of the proposed Nine Mile Road flyover.
A total of 33 dwelling units are proposed in the apartments split between seven buildings. Five separate commercial retail parcels are proposed; the commercial building varying in size between 4,500 to 48,000 square feet.
There will be entrances from Nine Mile Road at least 650 feet apart. The roadways in the development would remain private.
Planned amenities include a sports green, dog park, ponds, a club house and volleyball courts in the Dawson Company development.
The Development Review Committee must approve the plans before the developer can move forward.

Yeah, Navy Federal did NOT relocate 7000 people from Virginia. I believe that actual number is well under 1000.
@SWV, Yes I only like this plan IF the majority of the residents are Navy Federal employees then they could walk/bicycle to work. Maybe even a tram system like Walt Disney World parking, paid for by Navy Federal of course. But the intersection problem needs to be completed and solved before this development is started. Construction vehicles would further congest the already clogged Nine Mile Rd. It’s clogged now because the County Commissioners should have started the road improvements at least 3 years ago when they learned that NF planned to move 7,000 employees here from Virginia.
Already coming up with solutions when they haven’t even finished the 4 lanes between I-10 and NFCU to see what effect that has on the traffic.
Fantastic. The poop and urine from the dog park and the grease and oil from the pavement will conveniently flow into Eleven Mile Creek after a rain.
Navy Federal isn’t the problem. The county is. Poor planning on their part most certainly. Navy Federal seems to be a well respected employer in this are – we don’t want them to leave. The flyover should be completed before any construction on this project (it sounds like a nice place to live) is begun. They can go ahead and do the foundations, etc., but nothing else until the traffic problem is corrected.
Typical Escambia County nonsense. They never look farther than the nose on their face.
LOL, maybe they could restrict occupancy to NFCU employees only until road work is done. They would have no commute and reduce traffic
Untill 9 mile rd and the flyover is FINISHED ,this 773 ×2 occupants SHOULD NOT go forward. Planning board is only looking at the $signs at this time. Navy Federal could say goodbye to Escambia county if we dont get on the ball here
So the county development committee is planning more attractions around Navy Federal. How about fixing the ridiculous traffic congestion before planning to add to the issue
this will qualify as a new town.
I guess that means at least 733 more cars trying to get in and out of a VERY congested area. Add that the 1000+ more cars that will be added when Navy Federal finishes the buildings under construction.
