Board of Adjustments Minutes
1
The Board of Adjustments met Monday, April 18, 2022, at 5:00 PM at the City
Municipal Complex, 161 N. Section Street in the Council Chambers.
Present: Anil Vira, Chairman; Cathy Slagle; Frank Lamia; Donna Cook; Ryan Baker,
Alternate II; Hunter Simmons, Planning and Zoning Manager; and Allie Knutson,
Secretary.
Absent: Mike Baugh and Casey Potts, City Planner.
Chairman Vira called the meeting to order at 5:00 PM.
Approval of Minutes
Cathy Slagle made a motion to approve the minutes from the March 21, 2022, meeting.
Frank Lamia seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously with the following
vote:
Aye: Anil Vira, Cathy Slagle, Frank Lamia, and Donna Cook.
Nay: None.
Abstain: Ryan Baker.
BOA 22.04 Public hearing to consider the request of the Applicant, Rob Littleton, acting
on behalf of the Owner, Patricia Niemeyer, for a 14’ front setback variance as well as a 30’
rear setback variance. The property is approximately 0.28 acres and is located at 863 Creek
Drive. PPIN#: 63531
Hunter Simmons, Planning and Zoning Manager, presented the case summary and showed an
aerial of the property.
The property is zoned R-1, Low Density Single-Family and if approved, the rear setback for this
lot would be 5’ in lieu of the required 35’ and the front setback would be 26’ in lieu of the required
40’. This property was considered by the Board of Adjustments in BOA Case 14.01. In 2014, the
applicant was granted a 30’ variance to the rear setback and a 10’ variance to the front setback due
to the shape of the property. The variance expired because it was not acted upon and was not
recorded.
Overhangs and eaves are allowed to go 2’ over the setback line. The applicant’s proposed plan
includes a 4’ overhang over the setback line, but also includes a 3’ eave for a total of 7’ over the
setback line. Staff’s adjusted site plan was shown that translates the proposed dwelling within the
setbacks as they were approved in 2014 if moved to the Southwest.
There is a hardship present as the lot has an unusual pie shape where a 40’ front and rear setback
meet each other over most of the lot. A portion of the area that does not have overlapping front
and rear setbacks contains wetlands.

Recommendation:
Staff recommends denial of the 30’ variance request to the rear setback and 14’ variance request
to the front setback.
Staff does not support the variance to the front setback of 14’. However, staff supports a variance
to the front setback of 10’ and a variance to the rear setback of 30’, as originally approved in BOA
14.01.
Cathy Slagle asked about the 20’ wetland buffer versus the 30’ wetland buffer in the County. Mr.
Simmons stated that new subdivisions have a 30’ wetland buffer, but there was no wetland
protection in the Zoning Ordinance or Building Code when some of the older lots were created so
a 20’ wetland buffer applies per building permits.
Cathy Slagle asked where the driveway would be, and Mr. Simmons stated that a driveway is
something that would be looked at during the building permit and that a wetland delineation was
done. Even with the wetland buffer, the house would be able to be moved to the Southwest within
the setbacks of the variance that was approved in 2014.
The Applicant, Rob Littleton, 302 Poplar Place, stated that he thought the original variance that
was granted in 2014 would run with the land and did not know it would expire. Since then, the lot
has shrunk and changed significantly since the flood in 2014. He stated that he would like to be
able to back their airstream in under the proposed overhang and eave and that shifting the house
would put the driveway into the wetlands more.
Donna Cook asked what the footprint of the house is. Mr. Littleton stated it is 16’x48’.
Mr. Simmons stated that regarding the driveway, there are allowances to crossing wetlands where
you are land locked. But, if there is another means of access, Erik Cortinas, Building Official, most
likely will not allow any more encroachment into the wetlands. Being able to back an airstream in
would not be a good enough reason to cut into wetland buffers for a driveway.
Chairman Vira asked why the driveway could not be on the east side of the property. Mr. Littleton
stated that he wanted a circular driveway and that the house had been designed to fit inside the
setbacks. Frank Lamia replied that the pylons were within the setbacks, but the house was not.
Ryan Baker asked for clarification for what the objections were to moving the home to the
Southwest, other than parking the trailer, and stated that variances are granted based on hardships.
Mr. Littleton responded by saying that he had no other objections. Mr. Simmons also mentioned
that variances are tied to the land, they are not tied to existing floor plans. Mr. Littleton responded
that he would like to have the original variance of 10’ front and 30’ rear, granted again, but that
there would be an overhang. Mr. Simmons stated that would be a denial of a building permit.
Patricia Littleton (Niemeyer), 302 Poplar Place, stated that they she did not know the original
variance would expire and since then, the lot has shrunk significantly. There is no way to access
the property from the other side due to storm drains and power poles. None of the neighbors have
any objection to the new variance they are requesting. Ryan Baker asked Mrs. Littleton to clarify
the hardship in better detail as the only hardship being described is so they can pull an airstream
in. Mrs. Littleton stated that according to staff, they are going to have to move the current driveway

further to the east to get it out of the wetland buffer, thus, they would also have to move the house
plans, which will not work. Mr. Simmons clarified that the current driveway is not the problem,
it’s extending the driveway under the house that gets into the wetland buffer. A permit will not be
issued if there are other alternatives.
Mr. Littleton stated that their building permit was denied because of the overhang. Mr. Simmons
replied that they allow a maximum 2’ of overhang, but they are requesting 7’over the property
line.
Donna Cook asked if there had been other variances on the surrounding lots. Mr. Simmons stated
that he believes that there have been other variances granted.
Chairman Vira opened the Public Hearing.
Lisa Adams, 860 Creek Drive, stated that she has lived on Creek Drive for twenty-five years and
that Patricia Niemeyer has been a neighbor with environmental integrity for sixteen years. Ms.
Adams stated that she and her neighbors had no objection to the requested variance and did not
believe that the wetlands would be damaged in any way.
Chairman Vira closed the Public Hearing.
Cathy Slagle asked if the applicants would have to re-apply for the 2014 variance from Case BOA
14.01, if the variance for BOA 22.04 was denied. Mr. Simmons stated that they could approve the
variance as requested or approve anything less than what had been requested.
Frank Lamia asked if plans for the proposed driveway had been submitted. Mr. Simmons stated
that none of the plans submitted portrayed the driveway. Cathy Slagle asked if the proposed
driveway plans would be checked in relation to the wetlands. Mr. Simmons stated that they would
be and that wetlands can be accessed if there is no other point of access on the lot.
Motion:
Cathy Slagle made a motion to deny Case BOA 22.04. However, does support the
variance that was granted in 2014 for Case BOA 14.01, with a front setback of
10’variance and a rear setback of 30’.
Ryan Baker seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously with the following
vote:
Aye: Anil Vira, Cathy Slagle, Frank Lamia, Donna Cook, and Ryan Baker.
Nay: None.
Mr. Simmons reminded the Applicant and Owner that the variance would expire if not
acted upon and recorded in 365 days and that a Notice of Action Letter would be sent to
them.
Old/New Business
Mr. Simmons stated that there would be two cases on the agenda for next month.

AMERICAN LEGION 03.31.2022
CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION
The American Legion, Post 199 is proposing a revitalization of their historic building,
located at 700 South Mobile Street. The building was originally constructed in 1913 as
the Mobile Women’s Business Club meeting place, “Pine Needles.” The building was
heavily damaged in hurricane Sally, and the Legion has planned a complete renovation
of the facility that will expand their ability to serve their membership and the
community of Fairhope.
The new Legion facility is zoned B3A, which includes the Conditional Uses of
Restaurant, Bar, and Community Center or Club. We submit this application for your
consideration, and we hope approval, of those conditional uses. The attached Zoning
Summary outlines how the proposed facility meets the requirements of Fairhope’s
Zoning Ordinance for those uses.
The proposed renovations will house a Restaurant and Bar on the first floor, that will
serve both Legion members and the community at large. The second floor will be used
as a Legion Member Hall, where members can host parties, meetings, or other events.
The third floor will house Legion offices, to be utilized for meetings of the membership
and the operation of the club.
The Planning and Zoning Department has communicated concerns around the
provision of parking sufficient to serve these uses, and the avoidance of negative
impacts to the surround community. The Legion shares those concerns, and
appreciates the aesthetic value of their vegetated bayfront site, not just to their
membership, but as a highly visible part of the view of the bayfront along Mobile
Street.
In order to meet both sets of concerns, the proposed design includes parking to the
South of the building to serve daily uses, with asphalt drive aisles, and pervious
vegetated paver stalls. To the north and west of the building, vegetated “grass pave”
overflow parking is provided for member parties or events. This will protect the bluff
from erosion, mitigate stormwater runoff, and preserve the utilization of the area as a
green gathering space, when not needed for parking.

1 BOA 22.05 Eastern Shore American Legion May 16, 2022
Summary of Request:
On behalf of Eastern Shore American Legion, Watershed LLC is requesting uses which are not allowed by‐
right but by special exception in Fairhope’s Zoning Ordinance for the property located at the intersection of
Laurel Street and South Mobile Street. The subject property is zoned B‐3a. The applicant desires to develop
the subject property as a Community Center or Club, Restaurant, and Bar, which is allowed only on appeal
and subject to special conditions.
Comments
Watershed LLC is requesting Community Center or Club, Restaurant, and Bar use in the Zoning Ordinance. By
definition, a Community Center or Club is a building or portion thereof or premises owned or operated for a
social, literary, political, educational, or recreational purpose primarily for the exclusive use of members and
their guests. A Restaurant is a business serving prepared meals for consumption on the premises, which may
include an accessory bar, carry out, drive‐through, or catering services. A Bar is a business serving alcoholic
beverages, which may include accessory food and entertainment services.
Although the definition of a restaurant includes a drive‐through as a permitted use, the applicant does not
plan on implementing one on site. Staff believes a drive‐through does not fit with the character of the
neighborhood. As such, staff recommends that a drive‐through not be a permitted use on site.
Parking
A restaurant, bar, club hall, and club offices are proposed on site. According to staff calculations (shown
below) and based on maximum capacity of the proposed uses provided, the applicant meets the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.

The parking to the South of building will serve daily uses. The parking to the north and west of the building is
provided for member parties or events (See Figure 1). Outside of member parties or events, the lot will be
closed (area highlighted below). This would result in a total of 79 parking spaces available for use.

1 BOA 22.06 320 Presbyterian Drive – May 16, 2022
Summary of Request:
The subject property is located at 320 Presbyterian Drive and is zoned R-1 - Low Density Single-Family
Residential District. The property is currently used by Eastern Shore Presbyterian Church. The applicant is
requesting to expand the administrative facilities of the existing church. Currently, a church or Place of
Worship, per the Zoning Ordinance, is not indicated as a use allowed by right; a use allowed subject to special
conditions; nor a use allowed on appeal to the board of adjustments as defined in Table 3-1: Use Table.
Consequently, and as set by historical precedent, the proposed use is brought to the board as a “use not
provided for”.
The applicant provided a narrative stating that the church was established in 1994 and the sanctuary that
currently holds 275 people will not change. The intent is to enlarge the administrative area to create larger
work areas for each staff member. The applicant also provided the original annexation paper work showing
the property was annexed November 12th, 2012. The R-1 zoning is the default zoning for all properties that
request to annex into the City of Fairhope. This request if approved will allow for the current expansion as
well as solidify the church as an allowed use for the property for any future expansions.
The church sits on three separate properties and as part of the building permit review a re-plat to combine
the properties would be required to avoid building across property lines.
Comments:
The Board of Adjustments is authorized to grant relief for a use not provided for through Article
II.A.4.d(4) which says the following:
d. Duties and Powers: The Board shall have the following duties and powers:
(4) Whenever, in any district established under this ordinance, a use is neither specifically permitted or denied
and an application is made by a property owner to the Director of Planning and Building for use, the Director
shall refer the application to the board of adjustment which shall have the authority to permit the use or deny
the use. The use may be permitted if it is similar to and compatible with permitted uses in the district and in
no way is in conflict with the general purpose and intent of this ordinance.
Analysis and Recommendation:
Any other application to the Board shall be reviewed under the following criteria and relief
granted only upon the concurring vote of four Board members:
(a) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan;
(b) Compliance with any other approved planning document;
(c) Compliance with the standards, goals, and intent of this ordinance;
(d) The character of the surrounding property, including any pending development activity;
(e) Adequacy of public infrastructure to support the proposed development;
(f) Impacts on natural resources, including existing conditions and ongoing post-development
conditions;
(g) Compliance with other laws and regulations of the City;
(h) Compliance with other applicable laws and regulations of other jurisdictions;
(i) Impacts on adjacent property including noise, traffic, visible intrusions, potential physical impacts,
and property values;
(j) Impacts on the surrounding neighborhood including noise, traffic, visible intrusions, potential
physical impacts, and property values.
(k) Overall benefit to the community;
(l) Compliance with sound planning principles;
(m) Compliance with the terms and conditions of any zoning approval; and
(n) Any other matter relating to the health, safety, and welfare of the community.

RE: Eastern Shore Presbyterian Church, 320 Presbyterian Drive, Fa irhope, AL 366532
As discussed, I am an Officier at ESPC and the Owner's Representative for the Adminstration
Building Addition. Attached is a plan sheet for the proposed Administration Addition for the
project. This Admin istration Addition does not add additional staffing, but enlarges the work
areas for each staff member. The current seating for the Sanctuary is 275 and will not change.
The current parking is f or 133 spaces. We are requesting the Use Approva l for this project since
it is zone Residential. The site has been in use as a church since 1994.
If you have any questions, please call me at 251-370-2732.
