2. Planning Consuit ants presentation of:
Housing Analysis
Population Study
Economic Analysis
Community Facilities Plan
Government support of above studies by Commission members. All of the
above to be completed by end of June.
3. Mr. Parker asked for the Commission's conclusions reference a
resubdivision proposal being studied by Fairhope Single Tax Corporation
for Bellangee Avenue between Berglin and Young Streets which had been
presented at the October meeting for study and agreement. A letter of
request from 20 of 22 residences with frontage on Bellangee between
Berglin and Mershon and addressed to the Colony and City was also pre-
sented asking that Bellangee not be built across the existing green
area.known as Bayou Charbon but that a cul-de-sac be built on each
side to preserve the neighborhod ecology, attractiveness and safety.
A further request of commission opinion and endorsement included allow-
ing: (1) reduced size cul-de-sac right-of-way of 70' and paved diameter
of 60' due to particular lot restrictions as presented in drawings of
the proposed resubdivision and roadway along with preservation of the
trees in the center of the east cul-de-sac by retaining an unpaved
center planting area common to many municipal regulations. Roadway
width in cul-de-sac to be maintained at 141 width. (2) Use of septic
tank sewers on proposed lots #9 and #11 approved by County Health
Official since public sewer service is not available without crossing
Bayou Charbon with a sewer line at an unjustified cost.
After discussion with several members having visited the site
for observation it was felt the proposed resubdivision was a consider,
able improvement over the present platted plan, and offered exemplary
development of the natural qualities of the area in contrast to any
proposed roadway fill and' -.culvert installation which would degrade the
watershed maintenance function of Bayou Charbon and replace a natural
growth area with a roadway surface offering no value for a minor re-
sidential street function.
A motion by Mr. Boxi seconded by Mr. Pitman moved that the pro-
posal shown on the submitted drawings and utilizing septic tanks on
Lots #9 and #11 be accepted and approved by the Planning Commission
if submitted along with recommendation to the City Council that the
reduced right-of-way cul-de-sacs be approved. Also that Fairhope
Single Tax Corporation beyencouraged to make application for the re -
subdivision of the area. Motion passed unanimously.
4. Building permit request for East Gate Shopping Center and Office
Complex. (Bay View Services).
Motion made by Mr. Pitman seconded by Mr. Box that building permit
be issued subject to:
1. All Zoning Codes, be met.
2.• All Southern Standard Building Codes be met.
3. Appropriate number of parking spaces being provided.
(Above pertaining to Bay View Services Bowling Alley)
Motion passed unanimously.
There being no further business meeting adjourned.
