and it was unanimously carried.
Mr. Charles Dyas come before the Commission to present his request for prelim-
inary and final approval of Bayou Volanta_Park-subdivision- Units 2 and 3.
Mr. Pruitt was asked what his study of the plans had revealed. He pointed out
six things that Mr. Dyas should furnish the Commission before final approval
should be given. They were: 1. drainage_plan reflecting the storm drain-
age for the two deadend streets. 2. providing assurance that the City of
Daphne will furnish water to serve the proposed lots. 3. Securing a certificate
from the County Health Officer on septic tanks. 4. Posting a surety bond on
utilities, streets and storm drains. 5. coordinating the design of the
streets and storm drainage with the State Highway Department, and 6. providing
a certificate on the Final Plat for official of the State Highway Department
to sign for their review and approval. A copy of these six requirements to
be furnished to Mr. Dyas. Mr. Box put in the form of a motion granting pre-
liminary approval and holding off giving final approval until the July meeting im
order for Mr. Dyas to comply with these requirements. Mrs. Newman seconded,
and notion carried unanimously.
Art Rigas representing Ponder Engineering Co. came before the Commission on
a request for preliminary and final plat approval of Carmel Square subdivision
located on the east side of Hwy. 98 right pass Sweetwater Branch at Battles
Wharf. Mr. Rigas presented the plat to Commission and remarked he had been
before the City Council and requested annexation as soon as the City reached
his property line ans also was requesting City Sewer. Mr. Parker pointed
out his understanding that the City Council intended further stiputlations
regarding Zoning Ordinance compliance in the development if City sewer connectic
was to be made available. Mr. Box noted that on the plat presented he had the
pumping station at the end of a cul-de-sac. He remarked that he thought it
might be moved next to the highway as the other pumping stations around town
were easily accessible and the City would be taking this one over in the future.
Mr. Rigas said it was designed this way because there were already a number of
pipes next to the highway and he thought it might be a problem for residents
trying to tie in, that in fact he envisioned serving a greater area by the stati
being at the back of the planned development. There was also discussed the
maintenance of the gazebo, street maintenance and access to ptrVing station if
it remained as desigend as it is now. It was put in the form of a motion carry-
ing this over until July meeting by Mrs. Newman, so Mr. Box could get with Mr.
Moore on pumping station design, and having all other points worked out by that
time. Mr. Box seconded, and it was unanimously carried.
Mike Ford came before the Commission to discuss a piece of property he had
for sale on the end of Fairhope Avenue(Skinner property). He had several
inquiries about using the garage as a place of business and wanted to know
what procedure he should take short of re -zoning to help accomodate the in-
terested parties. He was told a re -zone application would have to be filed
but discussion led to him thinking he would not meet parking requirements
even if he did make application for rezoning. He thanked the Commission for
their help and stated he would think about it some more.

Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
June 4, 1979 - page two
Jack Pope introduced David Head, Iacey McCall and bmmy. Champion who wished
to informally discuss the Baldwin Square shopping center being planned on
the land at the corner of Morphy Avenue and Greeno Road. Mr. McCall showed
the Commission a drawing which showed the layout of the stores, he told them
of the landscaping plans and the egress/ingress planned, and what materials
they planned to use on the outside of the buildings so they would be appealing
from all sides to the public eye. The only thing the Commission objected to
was the way they had planned the parking spaces for 9-9Zf_t. instead of the
loft, called for in the Zoning Ordinance. They were asked to comply with this.
Mr. Champion presented a drawing which showed the drainage plan, with a
boxed culvert running thru the middle of the shopping center and emptying
into a planned pond . There followed lengthy discussion on the best way to
maintain this pond and whether or not it was to be a dedicated pond and not
be used in the future. The Commission expressed appreciation for the plans
and designs presented. Mr. Head said he hoped to have preliminary plans for
the July meeting.
There being no further business the meeting was duly adjourned.
