Gainesville City Council gives final OK to Ahaluna development
Foes may file suit against 199-lot subdivision near Lake Lanier

After a Hail Mary pass connected late Monday, ending Hall County’s objection, Gainesville City Council on Tuesday night gave the final OK needed for the development of a 199-lot upscale subdivision off Ahaluna Drive in Gainesville. Residents in the area who have opposed the density and quality of the development, near the shores of Lake Lanier, said their only recourse now may be to file a lawsuit against the city to stop the development from proceeding. Residents said they were caught off guard on Monday when West Ahaluna LLC, a local developer with ties to America’s Home Place, agreed to annex additional properties along Ahaluna Drive and the city agreed to take over maintenance of the road from Hall County.
