San Mar Gale, Ohio

San Mar Gale, Ohio

San Mar Gale is an unincorporated community under development by the Hines-Griffin Land Development Company in the Turtlecreek and Wayne Townships of Warren County, Ohio, United States. This 2500+ home planned unit development (PUD) was approved by the Warren County Commissioners in February 2006. Zoning approval includes a central business district and multi-family housing near the center. A public referendum challenging the approval was placed on the ballot in November 2006, and the Commissioners approval was ratified by voters. Construction is to begin in 2007.

This community is being developed on a convert|3329|acre|km2|0|sing=on group of farms formerly owned by Ralph J. Stolle, a prominent inventor, businessman and philanthropist in Warren County. The name "San Mar Gale" comes from the name of his farm, and is derived from combination of the names of Stolle's daughters, Sandy, Mary Jo, and Gail. Until Stolle's death in 1996, the farm was used as a research farm for milk production. A private airport called San Mar Gale (airport code OH79) existed on the farm until the late 1990s but has since been closed.

San Mar Gale is to occupy a large portion of the area between Lebanon and Oregonia. Its approximate boundaries are Wilmington Road to the south; North Nixon Camp Road, Emmons Road, and the Little Miami River to the east; the Wayne Township line with a small portion crossing into that township, and Shoemaker Road to the north; and Liberty-Keuter Road to the east. The planned business district is centered on the intersection of Oregonia, Emmons, and Waynesville Roads.

The community is in the Lebanon City School District. The eastern half is served by the Oregonia (45054) post office, and the western half served by the Lebanon (45036) post office. Telephone service is in the Lebanon telephone exchange served by Embarq, public water is provided by Western Water Company, and sewer is to be constructed on site by the developers with plans for turning the operations over to Warren County or being operated as a private utility.

The community is to be partially financed by a little used program called "new community authority" [ [http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/stories/2007/07/02/story18.html Developers pursue little-used funding tool - Business Courier of Cincinnati: ] ] which allows cost of infrastructure to be added to the property taxes of the homeowners in the development.
