Шаблон:Infobox settlementШаблон:Primary sources Bluewater Bay, Florida, is a planned community in Okaloosa County, Florida, United States. The 2,000-acre, 3,800-home residential community containing 73 subdivisions was established in 1978, and its first home was sold in the early 1980s.[1]

History

The community was developed by Raimund Herden, who gathered investors, both American and European, to purchase 1,600 acres of land for $5.6 million in 1975. Herden and his investor-associates as "Bluewater Bay Development Company, Ltd." began the required development studies, hiring Henningson Durham and Richardson engineers in Pensacola, FL. Additional engineering was provided by Baskerville Donovan Engineers in Pensacola. After extensive studies regarding existing conditions (soils, wetlands, tree surveys, archeology, and topography) and conformance to governing agencies, a Development Order was approved in 1977. Land was allotted for schools, parks, businesses, power substation, and county roads. A Master Drainage Plan centralized stormwater management system in place of numerous detention ponds, and recreational golf facilites and wetlands were integrated onto the dissipation areas. David C. Weaver, a Baskerville-Donovan engineer, took on the role as the Project Manager, supervising construction of a marina, residential plats, and recreational facilities. Priority was given to preservation of mature oaks and pines. Beltways of naturalized recreational easements were designed to shelter homes from main traffic flows. In 1990 an additional 210 acres was added to the Development of Regional Impact's boundaries.[2]

Amenities

Bluewater Bay has a golf course designed by Tom Fazio and Jerry Pate, as well as a tennis facility, two large swimming pools, walking paths, and a 120-slip marina.[3]
