I Volanta Pines Subdivision a 33 lot subdivision planned off of Bon Secour Ave. was brought before the Commission by Ack Moore for preliminary and final approval. In a review Bob had recommended approval subject to I. adjust- ment of front setback on Lot 6 to provide minimum required lot frontage of 751; 2. show improvements to be installed in easements, if not required remove from plat. (Mr. Moore said anything installed would be for drainage) 3. show centerline curve data for streets on plat; 4. show datum plane 8 bench marks w/elevations on topo and profile sheets; 5. bearings and distances shown on lot lines.(Mr. Moore said this is in street assessment program and all will be correctly shown on final sheet.) Mr. Killoch called i for comments from audience. Mr. Morgan on Greenwood spoke saying he had developed Greenwood Park area and that he knew it was in the plans to one day have Greenwood a thru street but if there was any way to develop without having this happen he would recommend we study further before approving it. Robert Mason of Leslie Court spoke saying he did not see why it was even necessary to have this thru street. That it would definitely increase the traffic. Paul Frederick spoke saying he was planning a first class subdivision and he thought it was important to have this thru street and he did not feel that it would add more traffic cutting thru to save time going another way. Mr. Killoch said in his personal opinion he did not see why it needed to be opened up as the way Quail Loop goes around it would be private. Steve Evans of Patlynn Drive said he didn't think opening up a good idea, that he like the secluded subdivision. Mr. Morgan spoke again saying that most people bought in here because of inaccessibility of traffic. Danny Hall of Greenwood and Adrian Wilson also spoke saying they wished to keep closed. Charles Davis spoke saying he represented the other side of the development and wished the plans to stay as they are presented. Ack spoke saying that when Greenwood development was made he was carrying out the wishes of the Commission in making plans for future thru street and that he had to request from Mr. Frederick then permission to go thru his property. A question was asked as to the notification process. It was explained that adjacent property owners receive notification of meeting. After further discussion, Cecil Pitman moved as he could not see where this thru street would impact the Greenwood Park anymore than is now, that we accept the plat as presented and grant preliminary and final approval subject to Bob's points being adhered to. Motion carried with William Lucey and David Bishop abstaining; Mr. Killoch voting against and Dick Sanderson, Cecil Pitman and Tim Kant voting for motion. Huntlee subdivision, final approval was being sought. This is a 16 lot subdivision outside the City on County Road 27. Mr. Moore was also presenting this for Mr. Dial. Bob had recommended final approval, as streets are in present assessment program and subject to Health Depart- ment approval. Ack said that he had applied for approval but had not received papers back yet. Tim Kant moved for approval contingent upon receiving approval, William Lucey seconded and motion carried unanimously. i Planning & Zoning Commission June 1, 1987 - page two Dan Benton was present to ask for re -subdivision of Wild Oaks subdivision. He said that all 9 lots involved had been built on. That when approval given there was a drainage easement shown that has not been used and will not be needed. That he had contacted all utility company's involved and it was all right with them. That this will not change the lot lines or sizes in any way. That all necessary permission papers are in the process of being signed, that everyone involved has agreed to it. That all utilities are underground and what we need to do is file correction plat. Bob said he had no problem with it. David Bishop moved if all in order he recommend approval, Cecil Pitman seconded and motion carried unanimously. Preliminary discussion was held on a proposed subdivision, Flying Creek Estates. Mike McNeil had some drawings , said they were seeking sketch approval, they wished to do a PUD adjacent to Flying Creek racquet club. The streets would be privately maintained. Bob pointed out that the minimum frontage requirement is 125' or 25,000 sq. ft. that there are some lots shown with 17,000 sq. ft. Mr. Pitman suggested that in order to make a nice development they would possibly want to consider combining two of the smaller lots into me. Mr. McNeil in turn said that some of the lots in Sans Souci were small and that this is a very nice subdivision. Mr. San- derson moved to go along w/sketch plan as presented, Cecil Pitman seconded and motion was unanimously carried. Bob brought to the Commission's attention a division of FSTC property leased by Bernie Klumpp a parcel of more than 5 acres which does not constitute a subdivision within the meaning of Section 201.32 of the regulations. Mr. Claude Arnold represented W.C. Majors in an informal review of a 40 acre tract that Mr. Majors wishes to develop. Mike Arnold said that this is East of Fairhope on Gayfer Extension and Oberg Rd. He showed 33 lots on the drawing he presented to the Commission. He was asked about pond shown on the drawing. He said it may be pond or retention basin, that he had not made borings yet but he did know that he could not increase any runoff to the north, that this will retain any runoff, possibly reduce it. They have not made any decision on paving of streets yet. Tim Kant moved to accept sketch and have them continue with what input they got today. Richard Sanderson seconded and motion carried unanimously. There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
