The Planning & Zoning Commission of the City of Fairhope met for their
regular monthly meeting on Monday, July 2, 1979 at 5:00 p.m. at the
City Administration Building, 337 Fairhope Avenue, Fairhope, Alabama,
with Chairman John Parker presiding.

Leona Newman; Pierce Frederick; C.E. Bennett;
Don Pruitt, Planning Consultant; Phil Rutherford,
City Supt.; and John Duck, City Attorney
The application of Dale Crittenden for preliminary and final plat
approval of his subdivision - Pecan Orchard Unit 1, located on the
east side of Oberg Road at the southeast corner of Morphy Avenue
and Oberg Road was considered. This had been brought before the
Commission at the March 5, 1979 meeting and carried over at that time
as several points needed to be cleared up before approval could be
granted. Mr. Parker read Mr. Pruitt's comments which stated that
Mr. Crittenden still needed to present a drainage plan and proof of
acceptance by the County for the septic system. Discussion led to
Mr. Crittenden asking if the Board could approve this subdivision
if he requested only two lots at this time. He was told they could.
On motion by Bill Workman, seconded by Cecil Pitman, unanimous approval
was given subject to him presenting a redrawn plat and County approval
of the two lots for septic system.
Mr. Curtis Gordonjappeared before the Board on behalf of Mrs. Bobbie
Robertson. She wishes to subdivide her land at Battles Wharf. He
showed a drawing that would divide the land into four lots with her
keeping the lot at the bay. He stated that there would be easy
access to this proposed subdiv.. down Moogs Lane, which is a public
road that runs beside the property. Mr. Parker suggested Mr. Gordon
contact the State Highway department about Moogs lane before presenting
Commission with aisubdivision application and have a clear understanding
of any future plans for this road.
Mr. Art Rigas of Ponder Engineering brought before the Commission the
Carmel Square subdivision plat, this also being carried over from the
June meeting so suggestions made at that time could be tended to.
Discussion led to whether or not the adjoining property owners had
been notified by mail of the subdivision application, this not having
been done, it was decided to have a special meeting July 12th at 5:00 p.m.
to give these property owners a chance to voice opinions.
Mr. Carson Rockett presented to the Commission a drawing of what he pro-
poses to do with the property located on the North side of Volanta running
down to Fly Creek behind the old boat marina on Hwy 98. It showed 67
condominium units and a boat basin for residents with a few odd buildings
for commercial use. He was in keeping with the zoning requirements(B3b)
and the Corps of Engineers permit he had received. Dr. Workman offered
the information that under the Corps permit no comr.�ercial business could
be conducted at boat basin. Mr. Rockett was thanked for keeping the Com-
mission abreast of these plans.

David Head, Lacey McCall -and Tommy Champion came before the Commission
with their drawings on Baldwin Square Shopping Center seeking to obtain
a building permit. This had been informally discussed at the June meeting.
Head made a statement about the air rights over the planned drainage
pond. Mr. Parker said he thought that this was to be a dedicated pond.
Mr. Head said he thought after last month's meEUng it was clear they
wished to keep the air rights, in any event that they probably would not
do anything for ten or fifteen years and even then it would probably be
used for parking and not affect the drainage pond. All other questions
answered as to drainage, parking, egress/ingress, a motion was made by
Bill Workman, seconded by J.P. Nix to grant permit as requested. Motion
carried with Mrs. iNewnan voting against. The Commission asked Per. Head
to see what.he could do to get the tenants to agree to having something
other than a big pylon sign at the entrance of the shopping center. He
said he would be glad to talk with them and see what could be arranged.
