1073; best solutmon of Mr. Green's problem short of re -zoning to
be sought.
Carlton and Kenneth Niemeyer application to rezone from R-1 to R-3
parcel B of Niemeyer tracts purpose of rezoning- resubdividing
and building multiple dwellings. Mr. Gates stated that regardless
od adjacent B zoning, regardless of any changes or concessions
made by Mr. Niemeyer, he was adamantly opposed to R-3 zoning. Mr.
Field's position was that this constitutes a logical zoning pat-
terns R-3 providing a buffer between B-1 and R-1 zoning, within
walking distance of a new shopping center and side walks for pedes-
trians to the C.B.D. General discussions on these two view-
points ensued.
Motion by Mr. Gates, seconded by Mr. Box, that the Commission recom
mend to the City Council that the resoning request of Carlton G.
and Kenneth Be Niemeyer be denied. Motion carried.
Dyas and White-Spunner application to rezone from R-1 and R-2 to
B-2 and B-3 with small plot opposite Colonial Acres re"sis$ining R-15
acreage in triangle formed by State hgwy. 104, business route 98
and 4-lane 98. Main discussion centered arounod the comprehensive
plan in process of development by the S A R P C. This plan,when
completsd�eithsr will indicate the need for additional business
area as claimed by the developers or the inappropriateness of this
particuaaa rezoning as argued by its opponents.
Motion by Mr. Field, seconded by Mr. Box, that the Fairhope Plan-
ning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council, the denial
of the Dyas and White-Spunner rezoning application until such time
as the Commission has a comprehensive plan with antiaipatoWy
commercial area being delineated, at which time the application
may be returned for reconsideration. Motion carried.
Robert Green requested rezoning his nursery plot on Greeno Road
from residential to whatever zoning necessary for nursery and/or
residential. It was agreed that Green's Nursery predated zoning
and all but one of his present neighbors; that under his non=
conforming use no major repairs nor alterations may be made on
existing structures; that Mr. Green for years had tried going
through the proper channels of zoning commission and adjustment
board to no availi; and that this commission should make every
effort to alleviate his condition. Mr. Green is to be asked to
bring in plot plan showing exactly what type of -building he wants
to erect, exact location of new buildings, parking facilities,etc.,
all detaled and accurate, so that the Commission will knoK,with-
out question, what Mr. Green would like to do.
