IR 21.01 Request of the Applicant, Fabre Engineering, acting on behalf of the owner, Sena,
Inc., for an Informal Review of Monarch Hotel, a 39-unit project. The project is
approximately 0.6 acres and is located on the northeast corner of Bayview Avenue and
Fairhope Avenue.
Hunter Simmons, Planning and Zoning Manager, presented the case summary.
Staff received a Site Plan application for a 39-Unit hotel at the subject property. Questions that staff
cannot answer were raised, which led to the informal review request. Property is zoned B-3b, which
allows a hotel ‘by right’. Interestingly, a bed & breakfast is not allowed in B-3b, which we may need
to address via a zoning amendment.
There are Heritage Trees on the site, which are protected. 20’ landscape buffer is also required on
Fairhope Ave. Plan is likely to change, but the applicant would like guidance on two questions: off-
site parking credits and re-plat.
40 parking spaces are required for the proposed 39-unit hotel. The proposed plan provides for 20
onsite parking spaces and 10 bicycle spaces to accommodate 22 of the required parking spaces. The
applicant provided a map stating there are 44 on-street existing parking spaces within 300’ of the
subject property and would like to attribute 50% of that number to accommodate 22 of the required
spaces. Article IV, Section E.7. of the Zoning Ordinance provides that parking credits may be given
for on-street parking and bicycle parking. Depending on the application type, i.e. Site Plan vs. MOP,
either the City Council or Planning Commission will decide whether parking credits are given. Being
near public parks with little on-site parking (at the top of the bluff), staff believes all parking shall be
provided on-site. Applicant would like the Planning Commission’s opinion.
Re-Plat: Subdivision Regulations, an administrative re-plat to combine lots without approval of the
Planning Commission. The proposed re-plat combines three lots into one.
The Commissioners discussed their concerns with the hotel taking up on-street parking and preserving
the culture of Fairhope.
Applicant, Robert Cummings with Fabre Engineering stated that they will be doing a major redesign
of the plans and clarified that the Commissioners were wanting 100% of the hotel parking to be on
site.
ZC 21.12 Public hearing to consider the request of Percy Dale to rezone property from R-1
Low Density Single Family to HTD (Highway Transition District). The property is
approximately 0.87 acres and is located on the west side of South Greeno Road, south of Carter
Lane at 19327 Greeno Road.
Summary:
Hunter Simmons, Planning and Zoning Manager, presented the case summary.
Percy Dale requests to rezone the subject property from R-1, Low Density Single Family Residential
District to HTD, Highway Transitional District. The property is approximately 0.87 acres and is
located on the west side of South Greeno Road, south of Carter Lane at 19327 Greeno Road.
December 6, 2021
Planning Commission Minutes

The special standards listed in this section for the Highway Transitional District are intended to
provide an alternative to properties along state highways within the City of Fairhope that are beyond
the area of influence of the Village Nodes and Commercial Nodes as contemplated by the City of
Fairhope Comprehensive Plan and to provide development opportunities consistent with the City’s
vision for commercial corridors to better serve community needs. Unlike other districts within this
section, the HTD is not an overlay district and does not affect any property owners, other than those
who voluntarily apply for rezoning to this district.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of case ZC 21.12, 19327 Greeno Road, rezoning from R-1 to HTD.
Rebecca Bryant opened the Public Hearing. With no one present to speak, the Public Hearing was
closed.
Motion:
Art Dyas made a motion to approve Case ZC 21.12.
John Worsham seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously with the following vote:
AYE: Rebecca Bryant, Art Dyas, Corey Martin, Jason Langley, Harry Kohler, and John Worsham.
NAY: None.
ZC 21.15 Public hearing to consider the request of the Applicant, David Diehl PLS, acting on
behalf of the owner, Burgess Thomasson, to amend the exi sting PUD (Planned Unit
Development) for Montrose Preserve. The property is approximately 50 acres and is located
west of US Highway 98 across from the Rock Creek Subdivision.
Summary:
Hunter Simmons, Planning and Zoning Manager, presented the case summary.
David Diehl PLS, acting on behalf of the owner, Burgess Thomasson, request an amendment to the
Thomasson PUD, originally approved in 2017 by Ordinance 1596. The developer is Larry Chason.
While the approved PUD allows for 77 total lots, the proposed amendment proposes 18 single-family
lots on the same acreage – 53.94 acres. The gross density is .33 Units/Acre.
Originally presented in 2015 and approved in 2017, many revisions accommodating Commissioners as
well as surrounding neighbors lead to the approved PUD. Central to those concerns were connections
to existing public roads within Montrose. Consequently, the street layout of the Thomasson PUD, as
adopted, is not consistent with the City’s connectivity requirements, but did address neighbor’s
concerns and was unanimously approved by Commission and City Council.
While reviewing recent development proposals for the subject property, staff agrees, in this case,
connectivity to existing streets is not necessary and a PUD provides the proper tool to allow such
exceptions and flexibility in design. Staff views the currently proposed development, with a reduced
number of lots and the proposed use, as an improvement to the currently approved plan and would like
to recommend approval, but the following considerations exist.
December 6, 2021

Setbacks and other dimensional requirements, as well as uses, shall follow R-1, Single-Family
Residential requirements. Building height is limited to 35’ and total lot coverage is limited to 40%.
Proposed fencing has special requirements as illustrated on the Site Plan.
Street Access: No access to existing roads in Montrose, other than lots 1-3, which utilized the 3rd St
ROW. Access to each lot will be provided via Hwy 98 and/or Main St. Mechanism for providing
access to each lot not finalized, but the final solution may include, but not be limited to, the following
options: Vacation of ROW’s, Agreements to include a privately maintained road in a public ROW,
shared access via easements inside lot lines. Garbage and recycling will be provided by the City of
Fairhope Public Works. All streets shall be approved by the Director of Public Works.
Sewer is serviced by Fairhope Utilities, Water is serviced through Daphne Utilities, Power serviced by
Riviera, Telecommunications will be through AT&T. Adequacy of public utility infrastructure shall be
required prior to submitting for a preliminary plat application.
By reducing the number of lots and increasing the size, the acreage of greenspace was reduced, but the
13.8 acres of greenspace provided, or 25.6%, exceeds the minimum 10% required. If approved, the 40’
buffer strip could increase the greenspace further. There is a 20’ visual greenspace buffer required on
the north side of lot 1 and adjacent to the cemetery. The existing PUD contains a 40’ buffer along
HWY 98 that is described as a visual barrier and highlighted on the plans below. During reviews for
the proposed development, staff failed to ask the applicant to include this 40’ buffer on a revised site
plan but believes it to be important and suggest requiring it as a condition of approval. If approved, the
40’ buffer shall also be included on Lot 18.
Lots 1-9 exist as historical lots of record, but conflict with the PUD approved in 2017. Lots 10-18 will
require a subdivision to creates new lots of record. Staff recommends preliminary plat, including all 18
lots, that clearly defined potential floodways, wetlands, buffers, access to utilities, drainage (if
required), and vehicular access.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends Case: ZC 21.15 Montrose PUD Amendment be Approved with the following
conditions:
1. A preliminary plat shall be required that includes the entire acreage. At minimum, the preliminary
plat shall provide street access to each of the 18 lots and be in substantial conformance with the
street layout as proposed on the Master Site Plan. The preliminary plat shall be approved by the
Fairhope Planning Commission prior to issuance of any building permits for any property located
within the PUD.
2. Street access to every lot shall be determined and approved by the Authority Having Jurisdiction
prior to submitting for Preliminary Plat or building permits.
3. Access from US HWY 98 shall be approved by ALDOT, and any required improvements shall be
installed solely at the Developer’s expense.
4. Access from Main Street shall be approved by Baldwin County Highway and any required
improvements shall be installed solely at the Developer’s expense.
5. If street access, in substantial conformance of the proposed site plan cannot be achieved within two
years, the approved PUD shall revert to the Montrose PUD approved in Ordinance 1956. The two-
year time frame may be extended only by the City Council.

6. A 40’ buffer shall be required on any lot abutting US HWY 98. The area within the buffer shall be
common area.
7. The buffers shown on the plans, and those required by condition, shall remain natural, except for
the allowance of plant materials to be installed where a visual buffer does not exist.
8. Where a visual buffer does not exist within buffer areas shown on the plan, or required by a
condition of approval, plant materials shall be installed to provide a visual barrier.

Director.
11. Connections to existing utility infrastructure shall be determined prior to application for
preliminary plat.
12. Any outside agency permits (ALDOT, Baldwin County, ADEM, etc.) required shall be obtained
prior to submission of building permits.
Harry Kohler clarified that the strip between lots 3 and 4 would remain un-accessed.
Rebecca Bryant opened the Public Hearing.
Frank Barlow, 7144 Chapman Street, stated that he brought three copies of the National Register of
Historic Places Inventory regarding the Montrose Historic District and passed them out to
Commissioners. He also asked if the proposed lots could be further subdivided.
Mr. Simmons stated that they would have to come back and amend the PUD again.
Mr. Barlow mentioned that this PUD contains non-standard roads with many walkers and asked about
the buffer on Greeno Road.
Ack Moore, 22789 Ecor Rouge Lane, stated that he was born and raised on Rock Creek which is now
more like a ditch than a creek. He thought that the easement needed to be addressed and that the
topography was not shown.
Amy Thompson, 108 Alsway Creek, wanted assurance that there would not be any rentals.
Eddie Webster, 18 Viale Bellezza, asked if the large lot (Lot 18) was a lot and was concerned about
the creek.
Sabrina Ruffin, 23679 3rd Street, asked for clarification of 3rd Street access.
Mr. Simmons stated that 3rd Street will only provide access to lots 1-3.
Debbie Quinn, 7172 Taylor Street, stated that she had gone to Baldwin County two years ago to get rid
of accesses and that the county was supposed to give access to the city, but that did not happen. Now,
she is concerned with Taylor Street and historic trees and also stated that the conservation easement
for this PUD had been changed.
Rebecca Bryant closed the Public Hearing.

Mr. Simmons addressed the concerns. Short-term rentals are not allowed in R-1 zoning districts and
neither is an accessory unit that can be rented out. Lot 18 will have a limited buildable area due to the
topography of the lot. The conservation easement was never approved at City Council during the
original PUD, it was required to be a common area.
Motion:
John Worsham to approve ZC 21.15, subject to staff recommendations with an added 13th condition:
1. A preliminary plat shall be required that includes the entire acreage. At minimum, the
preliminary plat shall provide street access to each of the 18 lots and be in substantial conformance

the Fairhope Planning Commission prior to issuance of any building permits for any property located
within the PUD.
2. Street access to every lot shall be determined and approved by the Authority Having Jurisdiction
prior to submitting for Preliminary Plat or building permits.
3. Access from US HWY 98 shall be approved by ALDOT, and any required improvements shall
be installed solely at the Developer’s expense.
4. Access from Main Street shall be approved by Baldwin County Highway and any required
improvements shall be installed solely at the Developer’s expense.
5. If street access, in substantial conformance of the proposed site plan cannot be achieved within
two years, the approved PUD shall revert to the Montrose PUD approved in Ordinance 1956. The
two-year time frame may be extended only by the City Council.
6. A 40’ buffer shall be required on any lot abutting US HWY 98. The area within the buffer shall
be common area.

ZC 21.16 Public hearing to consider the request of the Applicant, David Diehl PLS, acting on
behalf of the owners, John Albert Watkins Jr., Hilliard Vaughn Street III, and Sonny Hill, LLC
to establish an initial zoning of PUD (Planned Unit Development), concurrent with conditional
annexation into the City of Fairhope to be known as Green Fields PUD. Parcel A is
approximately 20 acres and is located east of County Road 13, south of County Road 34. Parcel
B is approximately 20 acres and is located east of Parcel A.
Summary:
Hunter Simmons, Planning and Zoning Manager, presented the case summary.
David Diehl PLS, acting on behalf of the owners, John Albert Watkins Jr., Hilliard Vaughn Street III,
and Sonny Hill, LLC request to establish an initial zoning of PUD (Planned Unit Development),
concurrent with conditional annexation into the City of Fairhope to be known as Green Fields PUD.
The developer is Breland Homes Coastal. The proposed development will consist of 80 single-family
lots on 39.9 Acres, with a gross density of 2.0 units per acre.
A Planned Unit Development is intended to allow flexible development that encourages innovation.
The minimum lot size for R-2, Medium Density Single-Family Residential District is 10,500 sq. ft
with a minimum lot width of 75’. The proposed plan meets or exceeds all requirements of R -2,
Single-Family Zoning except the proposed setbacks are 30’ in the front and rear, as opposed to 35’.
The applicant recently submitted alternate home plans that can be built on 140’ deep lots with standard
R-2 setbacks. Consequently, staff does not recommend approval of the zoning request to PUD but
offers support in rezoning the subject property R-2.
The proposed lots are equal to, or greater than, those located within the neighboring subdivisions of
Greythorne and Millers Crossing. Originally, the applicant submitted an application for PUD because
their desired house plans required 80’ buildable depth. 35’ front and rear setbacks would limit the
buildable depth of each lot to 70’.
Rezoning to R-2 does not require a Master Development Plan, nor a Site Plan. If approved as R-2, and
annexed into the City of Fairhope, the follow-up procedure would be a preliminary plat, in which lot
layout, greenspace, ROW’s, utility access, as well as other technical merits of the will be addressed.
Consequently, the site plan may differ from that proposed with the PUD application. However, the
proposed plan would be consistent with an R-2 development and provides pedestrian access,
connectivity, and the required greenspace.
Recommendation:
Staff DOES NOT recommend Case ZC 21.16 be approved under the original request to rezone the
subject property from R-1 to PUD, however, under a revised request,
Staff recommends Case: ZC 21.16, Green Fields, rezoning from R-1 to R-2 be Approved with the
following conditions:
1. A traffic study shall be provided that includes all traffic generated by Green Fields with the first
application for preliminary plat.

2. Fairhope Water and Sewer provided availability letters, but connections to existing infrastructure,
including routes and potential infrastructure upgrades shall be approved by the water/sewer
superintendent prior to submittal of a preliminary plat.
Rebecca Bryant opened the Public Hearing.
Harold Street, 8980 CR 32, stated that he owns property on both sides of the subject property and it
has always been used for farming. He expressed concern for sewer treatment and wanted a fence on
each side of the subject property.
Eric Street, 8067 CR 32, he stated that he farms on four sides of the potential development. The
property to the south is farmed for corn using an aerial applicator. He will be unable to fly that to farm
the property which affects his living. He is also concerned with the red dirt erosion coming out of all
of the new developments and going into the bay.
Jody Harper, 3 Mershon St., asked how long the subject property had been under development and
how many homes were being proposed.
Rebecca Bryant closed the Public Hearing.
Mr. Simmons addressed Public Hearing concerns. He suggested zoning the surrounding properties as
agriculture to protect the farmland. The red soil/clay ordinance does not apply to development outside
of the city limits.
Motion:
Art Dyas made a motion to approve Case ZC 21.16, rezoning to R-2, subject to staff
recommendations.
Corey Martin seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously with the following vote:

NAY: None.
ZC 21.17 Public hearing to consider the request of the City of Fairhope Planning and Zoning
Department for an amendment to Article V, Section B, Central Business District, in the City of
Fairhope’s Zoning Ordinance to allow Rooftop Terraces.
Corey Martin recused himself.
Summary:
Hunter Simmons, Planning and Zoning Manager, presented the case summary.
Planning Commission members, City Council members, or the Planning Director can initiate a zoning
amendment. Councilman Burrell had some requests for allowances for rooftop terraces. The zoning
amendment states that rooftop terraces shall be allowed Accessory Use permitted on all lots zoned B-
2, General Business District, located within the CBD. A rooftop terrace shall not be considered a story,
it shall not exceed forty feet although, elevators and stairwells providing access may be allowed to
exceed forty feet by no more than five feet. Structures, other than those used for elevators or

stairwells, may be opened or enclosed, but shall not cover more than 33% of the total square footage
of the rooftop. The outer boundary of a rooftop terrace shall be defined using a barrier meeting the
City of Fairhope Building Code. The barrier shall be set back a minimum of five feet from the roof
edge. A definition of rooftop terrace will also be added to the Zoning Ordinance.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends adoption of the proposed Zoning Amendment to Article V, Special Districts.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 23, 2021
TO: City Council/Planning Commission
FROM: Hunter Simmons, Planning and Zoning Manager
RE: Proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment for Accessory Structures
In all Zoning Districts, other than R-A, the existing Fairhope Zoning Ordinance prohibits
the height of an accessory structure to exceed the height of principal structures. This
requirement is explicit in Table 3-3: Dimension Table - Residential Accessory Structures
shown below.

In many areas of town, but most notable in the Fruit and Nut area of Fairhope, many
accessory structures are taller than the principal structure. Some were even granted
Variances in the past from the Board of Adjustment and Appeals. Changes in laws, or
interpretation of laws due to past cases within the State, no longer allow architectural
variances where the hardship is other buildings.
r
As the Planning Commission is aware, Fairhope does not have historical preservation
measures in place. All the above leaves some homeowners with a dilemma, they can
legally tear down a historical house, build taller, and then build a taller accessory
structure. Some, not all, would rather save the historical home. With this said, the intent
of this amendment is to allow some flexibility when adding a two-story accessory
structure. The proposed amendment would allow, with administrative approval, an
accessory structure to be no more than five feet taller than the principal building.
The proposed amendment is added as a footnote to Table 3-3 as shown below in red:

*one detached garage up to 600 square feet shall be allowed for Patio/garden homes in
addition to the maximum total lot coverage for other accessory structures, subject to all
other accessory structure dimension standards.
** In an attempt to preserve historic one-story structures, on lots where the principal
structure is one-story, an administrative approval may be given to allow an accessory
structure to be taller than the principal structure, but in no case more than 5’ taller than
the principal structure as measured from the tallest roof peak of the principal structure,
excluding chimneys, cupola, spires, and other architectural features. In no case shall an
accessory structure exceed the height limit of the district.
Not included in the language above, but something the City Council/Planning
Commission may want to consider would be a requirement to have a minimum pitch to
the roof of accessory structures, or possible match the pitch of the principal structure.
This would only be necessary if flat roofs were discouraged.
**The proposed amendment is on page 22 in the attached section of Code from the
Zoning Ordinance.**

Happy December 24 th Mr. Simmons, Today, Friday is Christmas Eve, much to our surprise we received a
certified letter from Allie Knutson at 1:00 PM. We were advised to send you any comments to be in
your office by 12:00 PM today. No way could this have been possible which made us wonder if this
timing was intentionally late with many people not at home and away for Christmas holidays . We
moved into Old Battles Village in 2020 selecting this house because it had a wooded area behind it.
There was NO mention ever made of future development. At much expense, we added a sunroom on
the back to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The developer has designed more homes removing all
perfectly good solid large trees. Our quiet backyard will begin to be filled with construction trucks
squeezing over priced homes on to small pieces of land, leaving us in someone else’s back yard. Had we
known of this proposal, we would not have moved here and spent money adding on. We have written
several letter to the developer along with other concerned neighbors requesting that the trees be left
for shade and privacy. There has never been any response which is disrespectful and difficult to deal
with. Inquiries have been made to the city and we were told that there is a restriction on the size tree
that can be removed. If this expansion is allowed to proceed, there will be increase noise pollution
from highway 98 along with construction of the new Publix shopping area. There will increase traffic in
the subdivision and additional wear and tear on the roads from construction vehicles. A huge concern is
for strain on the water and sewer systems. Please know we would appreciate your requesting feedback
and hope our comments may have some bearing on your decision. We strongly urge you to deny this
zoning request.. More houses built up on small property lots with NO trees is NOT the best for Fairhope.
This exploitation and denuding of the land has gone on too long. Bob and Dana Whitfield 287 Garrison

City of Fairhope Planning Commission
Case: SD 19.06 Riverhorse Subdivision
Two City of Fairhope Planning Commission Meetings were held in reference to the
above re-zoning and development without the knowledge of North Station
Homeowners Association. The first time we were aware that something was
happening on the adjacent property was at our annual Homeowners Association
meeting, September 21, 2021, that was held on the section of dead end street on
Calibre. At that time Dilworth Development Inc., aka MD Holdings Inc., was
illegally burning large clearing debris piles and smoking out our neighborhood.
The burning was illegal per ADEM regulations for burning in Baldwin County.
When a resident complained to the Mayor about what was happening, the work
was shut down for a short period of time because they were also working without
a permit from the City of Fairhope.
When North Station started researching the situation, we find out that we were
never legally notified per the Fairhope Zoning Ordinance. This was brought to Mr.
Cortinas’ attention in September as well. Now after two meetings with the Mayor
and her staff and some very upset residents in North Station we are coming
before the Planning Commission to right a wrong that the City allowed to happen.
The Fairhope Zoning Ordinance, Article II Section C (b) states: Mailed Notice –
The applicant shall furnish the City the names and mailing addresses of all persons
owning property within 300 feet of any specific property that is subject of the
application. Names and addresses shall be from the latest records of the county
revenue office and accuracy of the list shall be the applicant’s responsibility.
Where land within 300 feet involves leasehold property, the names and
addresses of the landowner and the leasehold improvements shall be provided
to the City.
No one in North Station ever received a letter. The list of properties that we were
shown has two properties that are more than 300 feet from the property that was
the subject of the application. The City had no proof they sent letters to anyone
on the list.
Also from the Fairhope Zoning Ordinance, Article II Section C (c) Posted Notice –
The applicant shall post on the property being considered for a zoning change a
sign that gives public notice. This sign shall be posted adjacent to a publicly
dedicated street. The sign shall be furnished by the City at the time of
application. The sign shall be posted no later than 15 days before the Planning
Commission meetings and shall remain posted until after final action by the City
Council. The applicant shall remove the sign from the property and return to the
City within 2 days of final action by the City Council. It is the sole responsibility of
the applicant to post the sign in accordance with these regulations. Failure to
post the sign may result in nullification of the zoning change decision and
application.
No sign was ever posted. The City could not produce pictures of the sign(s) that
were posted nor any type of verification of the posting.
It appears the City has a “pick and choose” attitude on what natural areas such as
wetlands will be protected. Mr. Dyess stood before the Commission on January
28, 2019 and stated that the proposed re-zoning of this property had 3 access
routes – Lawrence Road, Blueberry Lane and North Station. Then he said “North
Station would be the most difficult because of the wetlands”. One week later on
February 4, 2019 the Commission approves coming through North Station and the
degradation of the natural wetland buffer.
We have been told numerous times by the Mayor and her staff that it is all about
connectivity. The Tracery was approved at the same time and it has no
“connectivity”. The City is taking an ordinance and applying urban type terms to
extraterritorial properties. The City is trying to put a round peg in a square hole.
North Station has no need for “connectivity” by a road to Riverhorse. The most
logical connectivity would be the upgrade of Blueberry Lane which abutts the
property.
North Station is not against the development of the property. North Station has
been adamantly against the destruction of the wetland corridor between the two
subdivisions. All of this could have been hand led in a different manner to achieve
the objectives of the City’s wetland ordinance as well the Audubon International
study that was done in 2003. The Commission could have proposed that the
developer put a conservation easement on the wetland portions of the property
which is a tax credit. “Connectivity” could have been a foot bridge between the
two subdivisions as well as the Tracery. We had a natural pervious surface that
facilitated runoff but now we have an impervious surface replaced by a natural
wetland area. What is in the wetland now is “rust” looking runoff from the
development. This whole development has been built up and water runs
downhill. It will be interesting to see what happens with the stormwater.
The City approved something without ever hearing from the adjoining
landowners. This was illegal and just wrong. We will be attending the Planning
Commission meeting.
