New Community Abutting Johns Landing
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.
- When entering Johns Landing the first view to the right of the entrance way that visitors would have, will be the backs/backyards of six Bayview homes that will be located next to and all along the Johns Landing entrance way.
- There will be seven Bayview homes that will be backing onto the side boundaries of the three Johns Landing custom homes with no privacy or screening.
- Traffic both when exiting or entering Remington Rd from or to West Colonial Dr (SR-50) has become an issue since the RaceTrac was constructed. With the additional residents of Bayview on Johns Lake added to the traffic, that intersection will become far more challenging.
- Tapping off from Largovista’s potable water would possibly decrease pressure in the service to the Largovista and other residents on that water main feed.
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.
