Developer's suit against city dismissed - al.com: "A Baldwin County Circuit Court judge has dismissed a lawsuit developer Ken Wall filed against Orange Beach and its former city planner two years ago in which he alleged errors on the municipal zoning map led him to overpay for a small parcel at Boggy Point.

Wall had claimed in the lawsuit that in 2005 he paid $2 million for less than an acre at the terminus of Marina Road after a trip to City Hall led him to believe that the property was unzoned and in Baldwin County's jurisdiction.

Had that been the case, the development possibilities would have been far more lucrative than what they turned out to be. Eventually Wall learned that Orange Beach had annexed the land in 1987 and that it was zoned, like neighboring plots, for single-family homes."
