Located on the South side of Highway 88 three miles East of Pine Grove, Mokelumne Bluffs Nature Estates takes a step towards environmental awareness and recognition.

MOKELUMNE BLUFFS NATURE ESTATES SUBDIVISION PROJECT HIGHLIGHTED IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION DOCUMENT

 

The Mokelumne Bluffs Nature Estates Subdivision project has been selected as a project which will be highlighted in a document being created by the Local Government Commission as a leader in implementation of Low Impact Development (LID) Principles in the Northern California Foothills.

The Mokelumne Bluffs Nature Estates Subdivision project has been selected as a project which will be highlighted in a document being created by the Local Government Commission as a leader in implementation of Low Impact Development (LID) Principles in the Northern California Foothills.  Project Manager Krista Clem said she is excited that the project is being recognized for implementing the LID elements, which include planning for LID from the first planning phase, hiring renowned wildlife biologist Terry Strange as a consultant, and including items such as building envelopes, bio-swales, rock lined culverts rather than underground storm water systems, minimization of non-porous surfaces, and homeowner education packets to help insure that the ideas are carried forward by purchasers of lots within the subdivision.  In fact, the project has successfully implemented design principles which will insure that at a maximum only approximately 30% of the entire site is impacted by development.

Hopefully this is an early step towards a great new green housing development here in the Amador County foothills. Know that as Amador County’s first EcoBroker® certified REALTOR® I am looking forward to helping this project along.
