Kathy Stark, Mayor
A new community Bayview at Johns Lake is in the final stages of approval by the Town of Oakland. This new non-gated community will border the Johns Landing community from Remington Road along the south side of the entrance way, down the west boundary alongside three Johns Landing custom homes to Johns Lake. The only barrier that Johns Landing has is a perimeter fence consisting of brick pillars with fencing between the pillars allowing a view of the neighboring land through the fence.
The homes in the Bayview community will consist of 20 homes of between 2,300 and 2,700 square feet that will be backing onto the Johns Landing community. Potable water will be tapped of of Largovista. Sewer will be tapped off from RaceTrac extended down along and under Remington Rd.
Johns Landing Homeowners have concerns for the future of the Johns Landing community once Bayview at Johns Lake has been developed.
Johns Landing Homeowners would desire the Bayview developer to build a wall along the shared boundary with Bayview or at the very least to back-fill the existing Johns Landing fence resulting in a proper boundary wall between the two communities.
The current traffic around the Remington Rd – West Colonial Dr intersection would need to be addressed by the Town of Oakland.
The next hearing and presentation by the developer to the Town of Oakland council will be in the Oakland Community Hall on August 9th, 2022 at 7:00pm .
All Johns Landing Homeowners are requested to please attend this hearing in person if possible and voice your concerns.
