The minutes of the September 9, 1993 meeting were considered and approved
on motion by Tim Kant, seconded by Cecil Pitman and unanimously carried.
A public hearing was held on a piece of property located on Pecan Street
Extension owned by Delmer O. Rider II for a re -zone from M1 to R-5.
Bob commented that this butts up to the City's property on the south
side. There was no one present representing this case. Bob said there
might be a propblem that this is located right north of the garbage transfer
station and bringing residential this close to it might cause some
problems in the future. He said that we might want to consider holding
off any action on this until the comprehensive plan is comepleted, that
there might be some suggested changes in it that might encompass this
piece of property, maybe lump together with other revised masterplan
recommendations. William Lucey moved to continue until such time as
South Alabama makes their recommendation on the Masterplan. Maxwell
Killoch seconded and motion carried unanimously.
Final plan approval was being sought on Arbor Gables a PUD by the Knight
Co. the second and final unit which includes two buildings with 24 units
and support facilities. Bob had commented that the developers engineer
has revised stormwater calculations to include runoff from both Unit 1
and Unit 2 and represent that based on those calculations, more than
adequate retention is provided to accomodate differential runoff. It is
noted that the rention pond is designed to hold water more or less con-
tinuously(as a lake) with the retention being provided within freeboard
area above the ground water table. He recommended final approval.
Cindy asked if all access was off of Gayfer, the answer being yes.
Mike Ford asked if the new highway would take the pond. -the answer
being no. The units will be all built at one time. Stillman Knight showed
a drawing of the PUD. Cecil Pitman moved to recommend approval as
recommended. Maxwell Killoch seconded and motion carried unanimously.
An application for final approval of DoLeen, Inc. on The Villas 18 lots
lying south of Qualil Creek Drive was being sought. Bob had commented
that most conditions had been met but the temporary turnaround constructed
lies outside the limits of the dedicated right of way , therefore the City will
exclude that turnaround from acceptance for maintenance. Other than that,
he had no problem with recommending final plat approval. James P. Nix
moved for approval as recommended with developer being informed that city
will not be responsible for turnaround. William Lucey seconded and motion
carried unanimously.
A review of a 7 lot unnamed site located off of County Road 11 south of
U.S. 98 in Barnwell was discussed. Bob had noted that lots 1-4 abut paved
County Road 11 and lots 5-7 abut an unpaved county mained road, Roy Hen-
derson Road and that all lots are in excess of 15000 square" feet and can
receive city water. A discussion was held on whether or not the subdivision
regulations had changed for the county. Seth Moore said that if you are
creating a new road you have to pave it but, he does not see a problem
with an existing dirt road. He said he has checked with the county on
this and they are suppose to be sending him a letter to this effect. Health
department approval will be required. No action was needed on this at this timle.
An informal review of sketch plan for 5 lots on the west side of N. Bayview St
north of Atkinson Lane was presented. Bob's comments were noted as well
as Mr. Sanderson saying he had some real problems with the layout presented.
It was the consensus of other board members that they too felt this was not
a good plan as presented, needed to be taken back and worked on some more.
An election of officers was held with Dick Sanderson being unanimously electe
as Chairman, Maxwell Killoch as Vice -Chairman and Cindy McBrearty as Secret ry.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
