Description

Fallignat's subdivision known as the Town of Rosedew (also known as Rose Dhu).  An 1887 map shows "Rosedew Park" in the location of what is now Coffee Bluff Road (originally named Rosedew Avenue).  The property was acquired by the City of Savannah in 2008.  Within the marina property, there exists the Herbert R. "Herbie" Battise Fishing Pier, a pavilion and a playground.

The requirements in Article E. Section 4:1100-1108 have been met.
