DAPHNE, Ala.—Daphne’s Planning Commission at its regular Thursday meeting unanimously approved parking lot and landscaping improvements to Bayfront Park.

“What we are proposing to do is to add 30 parking spaces on the west side (of the pavilion),” developer Jay Robertson said. “We would place landscaping grass and new sidewalks on the west side.”

The project involves clearing out old parking spots and shifting parking to the property’s other side.

“We’re roughly taking out 35 spots,” Robertson said.

“We’re really just swapping parking places,” Planning Commission Chairman Ed Kirby said.

The original site plan was approved in 2002, but required reaffirmation from the commission to continue development.

The intent is to record undeveloped lots so a building permit can be applied for when the lot sells, developer Don Rowe said.
