HomeMy WebLinkAbout04-01-1991 Planning Commission MinutesThe Planning & Zoning Commission of the City of Fairhope met April 1, 1991
at 5:00 p.m. at the City Administration Building, 161 N. Section Street
Present: Chairman Richard Sanderson, members William Lucey, Tim Kant,
Cindy McBrearty, Cecil Pitman, James P. Nix, William Richmond,
Maxwell Killoch. Robert Lunsford, Zoning Enforcement Officer
and Betty Rivenbark, secretary were also present.
The minutes of the March 4th and March 18th special meeting were approved
as written on motion by William C. Lucey, seconded by James P. Nix.
A public hearing was held on the property of Sandra Levin located on the
north side of Morphy and west side of Bishop Road, a 3 acre tract that she
is requesting to change from R-A Rural Agriculture to R-3 High Density
Single Family Residential in order to build her mother a house on a small
portion. Bob was making the recommendation that all be changed to R-3
because if a portion is taken from this property it would make a non-
conformity for R-A, which we didn't wish to do. Mr. Sanderson called
for comments from the Commission members or anyone in the audience.
There were none. William Lucey moved to recommend approval of zone
change to City Council, Cindy McBrearty seconded and motion carried
unanimously.
A public hearing on R-5 zoning concurrent with annexation was held
for the Ingersoll property, some 3.87 acres on the East side of Greeno Rd.
located between Spring Run and Autumn Drive. Mr. Lunsford told the
commission members that Mr. Ingersoll wished to build multi -family residences,
some 33 units. Mr. Ingersoll related that these apartments would be restrictec
to elderly and handicapped, that Walcott 8 Associates is doing the work on
the plans and is working with Mr. Lunsford. That this property adjoins
Mercy Medical on the east and they are trying to keep with what is already
there. After all comments received, Cecil Pitman said that it seems like
something that is needed and he recommended approval to the City Council
of this zoning as requested, Maxwell Killoch seconded and motion carried
unanimously.
A discussion was held on proposed revision of boundaries that the city wishes
to exercise for subdivisions. Bob had reported at the last meeting that he
had received a request from John Dorgan of the County office asking us
to redefine our boundaries for him, and it was his understanding that all
the cities were being asked to do this in the county. Bob had presented
a map showing where the boundaries are now and proposed new boundaries.
Legal description being: BEGINNING at a point where the eastern margin
of Mobile Bay is intersected by an east -west line drawn midway between the
Corporate Limits of the City of _Fairhope and the City of, Daphne; run
thence East along said midline to a point on the range line dividing Ranges t
and 3 East; thence run South along the range line to the southeast corner
of Section 1, T6S, 'R2E Baldwin County, Alabama which is on the centerline

margin of Fish River to the mouth of Weeks Bay; thence run southwesterly

shore of Mobile Bay; thence northerly along the eastern shore of Mobile Bay

concurrence of the county to adopt as proposed. William Richmond seconded
and motion carried unanimously.
Bob had worked up an ordinance amending Section 1. of the zoning ordinance
by adding section 7.878 pertaining to banners as a result of questions raised
at March 4th meeting. Discussion was held and unanimously decided that the
length of a permitted banner shall not exceed 3/4 the length of the building
with a maximum length of 30 ft with the vertical height not exceeding 20 percer
of its horizontal length. James P. Nix moved to recommend advertising with
the suggested change, Cecil Pitman seconded and motion carried unanimously.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
