What about Avalon?


Positively Palermo has been asked about the Avalon project boarding Palermo Palm Springs. Here are the details of what was planned: The proposed Avalon residential and golf course development would border the north and west perimeter of Palermo Palm Springs. The Suncal company development had formerly been called Palm Springs Village. Avalon streets have already been constructed and palm trees and other landscaping put in. In all, the subdivision would have 1,239 single-family lots and multi-family lots, a golf course, clubhouse, pool, spa, tennis courts and a park, all on 309 acres. The multi-family units would be more in the interior of the development and were planned for a later phase. All the residences bordering Palermo would be single-family homes, on lots of about 5,000 to 7,000 square feet. Most of the lots would be 50 wide and 100-135 feet long. You can see the layout of the homes near Palermo on the maps below. The single-family lots are in yellow in the first map. About two dozen homes would directly border Palermo's Phase 1 and Phase 2. It appears they would be single-level homes but the height is unknown. Notably, for at least 100 feet, there would be no homes built on the other side of the southern Avalon wall that is near Palermo's intersection of Melody Lane and Sandy Point Trail. The developer had asked the city for time extensions and then ran in more financial problems. There's no word on its current status. We will publish more in the coming days. Miss Penny Lane says: She's ready to tee up!

Wind and water

Elemental times at Palermo Palm Springs. The wind gusts that hit Palm Springs have died down, at least at early this morning. A water problem that created another a pond in the dirt by the models has been fixed. Miss Penny Lane says: She's starting the weekend early because today is her Friday.
