A water truck keeps dust down as work gets underway on infrastructure development for the long-awaited 50-lot Lone Pine Village riverfront subdivision.
Infrastructure work is underway and should be done by August on the 50-lot Lone Pine Village subdivision, creating the last riverfront residential lots in town, one of the developers said.
Being installed are streets, water, power, and high-speed internet, said Chris Schanno, of Lone Pine Land and Cattle, a half-owner in the subdivision.
“We’ve got some reservations in already on some of the waterfront lots,” he said. “Once they get platted they can come in and build.”
“It’s riverfront property inside the city limits, unencumbered by the Gorge Commission” land use rules, Schanno said.
“It’ll probably the be last river front lots you can buy,” said Paul Schanno, also of Lone Pine Land and Cattle. The lots range in price from $75,000 to $250,000.
Equal partners with the Schanno family in Lone Pine Land and Cattle are Brent, Tim and Erik Kerr and Alan Aplin, the owners of Crestline Construction, which is putting in the infrastructure.
The development is west of Water’s Edge and The Dalles bridge. All 50 lots are where a golf driving range used to be. The driving range was taken out in 2006.
The development, which covers 23 acres, also includes five commercial lots, and Chris Schanno said, “we’re hoping to maybe see a grocery store.”
The commercial lots measure from one-third acre to three acres.
The one-third acre parcel is mixed use, so apartments can be built above the commercial main floor.
Lone Pine Land and Cattle bought the acreage 14 months ago.
Paul Schanno said, “the city and the county have been really easy to work with. The city has bent over backward to help us. He said The Dalles Senior Planner Dawn Hert “has been phenomenal. She’s been very helpful and open and wiling to work with all of our ideas and willing to come up with answers to our problems.”
He said City Engineer Dale McCabe has also “been very helpful.”
The large riverfront lots are 70 feet wide.
Their boundary actually extends into the middle of the river, Chris Schanno said, due to the way riverfront lots are drawn.
The sandy area of the subdivision already has some fill, and will get built up quite a bit more.
Chris Schanno said once the development is done and lots are sold and houses built, it should create a large influx to the tax rolls.
“I think it’s going to be a great addition to the city,” Chris Schanno said. “It’ll be a nice, quiet gated community people can live in and hopefully enjoy the area.”
In addition to the upcoming 50-lot riverfront development, Lone Pine Village has two houses for sale.
It recently began leasing out the former pro shop of the golf driving range, which has been turned into the Tierre De Lobos Winery tasting room.
“People can come down and have a glass of wine and check the progress,” Chris Schanno said. For more information, contact Chris Schanno at 541-980-9323 or at chris@copperwest.com.
