Avenue, Fairhope, Alabama.

Sanderson, Pi6rce Frederick, Cecil Pitman
The minutes of the'December 7, 1981 meeting were considered and approved
on motion by Roy White, seconded by Cindy McBrearty and unanimously
carried.
The Commission at this time considered the application for public hearing
of Louis Agee for rezoning his property at the Northwest corner on
Middle and Young Street from R-2 to B-2. Mr. Tut Wynne represented
Mr. Agee and came before the Commission stating that due to incorrect address
information given when the application was made, the advertisement for
this zone change was incorrect. He asked the Commission for a chance to
readvertise for the February meeting and hold the public hearing at that
time. The Commission was agreeable. In the meantime Mr. Frederick asked
if there was any among the several present who were opposed, and a Mrs.
Buchanan representing the church across the street from this property
said they were opposed. She was asked to come back at the February meeting
when this would be considered.
Lorene McCants came before the Commission and asked about the possibility
of resubdividing Lot 5 & 6 Magnolia Beach subdivision(Orange & Kumquat Sts.)
The lot requirement is 10,500 sq ft in this area and, the lots are already
subdivided in the R-2 district even though substandard as this was done
before the Zoning Ordinance was adopted. Mr. Parker told Mrs. McCants
that the Commission did not have the authority to do what she is seeking.
That if we subdivide now it would have to come under the zoning ordinance
requirements and what she is seeking would not. She was told that it might
be better left alone. She thanked the Commission for their input.
The proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance were brought up and discussed.
John Parker informed the Commission that he, Roy White, Cindy McBrearty
and Atty. Reid had worked for some three hours and hammered out the proposed
amendments and what was before them tonight was the product of this work.
