Residents fighting the development of a 219-lot upscale subdivision off Dawsonville Highway in Gainesville, near the shores of Lake Lanier, are readying for compromise as the City Council prepares to vote on the matter next week. West Ahaluna LLC, a local developer with ties to America’s Home Place, is asking Gainesville to annex about 70 acres and rezone another 32 acres in order to proceed with building the Ahaluna Estates subdivision. But the large-scale development, proposed for build-out in three phases over 15 years, has stirred opposition from area residents who say it is too dense and Hall County officials who say they believe it will effectively create an “island” property where duplicate services are delivered.
