The minutes of the December 13, 1993 meeting were duly approved on motion
by Tim Kant, seconded by William Richmond and unanimously carried.
Creekwood Unit 2 - An application of Del A. Corte for 3 lots on Scenic
Highway 98(Main St). Mr. Sanderson asked Bob if he would share his
comments with the Commission. Bob had written that this property lies within
Flood Zones and that all lots would require certification of elevations
by a Licensed Professional Engineer prior to issuance of building permits,
further that the developers should be cautioned that all construction and
fill must include safeguards to prevent runoff into Fly Creek. That subject
to inclusion on the plat of written notes of the foregoing he recommended
preliminary and final approval. Cindy McBrearty moved to approve subject
to Bob's comments. Jack Lucey seconded and motion carried unanimously.
Aryshire Glenn This was an informal plan review of 10 lots located
on the north side of County Road 30 z mile east of Cty Rd 13. Bob had
commented that this was not subject to the city's zoning regulations, and
that the cul-de-sac as shown was a little over length requirement but he
saw no reason to require a second bulb. Preliminary plat will require engineer'
certification and site development will also require issuance of a permit by ADE
Also we will need County Engineer's approval. No action was required today
Richard Sanderson asked for any comments from the commission or the audience
there were none. Preliminay plan will be considered at later date.
Homestead Village Alteration of Preliminary Plan, PUD. Mr. Sanderson
asked Mr. Liechty if he wished to show what proposed, and he came forward
and showed the Commission what proposed. He said in getting his plans
approved that he had run into a snag with requirements from the state and
he had originally planned 2 -2 story buildings for managed care facility
but now wants 1 - 1 story building and 1 -3 story building with height
not to go over 35 ft. Tommy Springer was present and said he backs up
to this property and questioned Mr. Leichty's plans.Leichty• explained the 3 st ry
building would be 300 ft. from Mr. Springer's house and would in no way
invade his privacy, that there would be a parking lot between the 3 story
building and his house and that they had plans to plant trees between the
building and any fencing, had plans to do a lot more landscaping, plant
hundreds more trees. The question of raising the density was questioned
and Bob said this would not change the density from what originally planned.
Would be the same and that he had a letter stating this. The drainage plan
was outlined for Mr. Ford who was not present when this first came before
the Commission. There being no further questions or comments, Cecil
Pitman moved to approve alteration of plan as requested, James P. Nix,
seconded and motion carried unanimously.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
TO: FAIRHOPE PLANNING COMMISSION FROM:
Meeting of: 06 JAN 1994 Planning/Zoning Officer
Creekwood Unit 2 - Application of Del A. Corte for
Preliminary and Final Plat Approval
Three lots on Scenic Highway 98 (Main Street) near the
north corporate limits.
Property lies within Flood Zones, Alo, B and C. All
lots will therefore require certification of elevations
by an Alabama Licensed Professional Engineer under
provisions of the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, prior
to issuance of building permits.
The property abuts an existing public road and the area is
less than would require implementation of Storm Water
Management Criteria of the Subdivision Regulations for
stormwater retention. However, developers are cautioned
that all construction and fill within the lots must
include safeguards to prevent runoff into and siltation of
Fly Creek.
Subject to inclusion on the plat of written notes to
provide notice of the foregoing, Preliminary and Final
approval is recommended.
Aryshire Glenn - Informal Plan Review of Ten Lots, located
on the north side of County Road 30 at
approximately one-half mile east of County Road 13. The
area of development is approximately 15.5 acres with a
700 foot cul-de-sac to provide access and frontage. The
land is not subject to the city's zoning regulations.
Although the proposed cul-de-sac is marginally over the
length limit of 600 feet, I fail to see that the
requirement for a secondary bulb, or turnaround, would
serve the interests of either the developer or the public.
Both the size of development and the requirement for a
new street will invoke the stormwater management
provisions of the Subdivision Regulations. Preliminary
plat consideration will require engineer's certification
as set out in the regulations. Site development will
also likely require issuance of permit by A.D.E.M.
Since the land lies within the extra -territorial
jurisdiction, the County Engineer must also approve the
plat. Therefore, preliminary plat consideration will not
be scheduled until a letter of acknowledgment is
forwarded to the City by the County Engineer, indicating
that the engineer has received a copy of preliminary
submittals for the development.

Consideration of this plan is informal and requires no
action by the Commission.
Homestead Village - Application for alteration to
Preliminary Plan, P.U.D.
The proposal is to convert building plans from two-story
garden apartments to two-story patio apartments at the
west end of the property and in the south-central part
of the property, behind the chapel. The change primarily
affects the means of ingress/egress of buildings and the
common areas and does not violate the density
restrictions.
The proposal also would increase the building height of
the C.A.L.F. unit at the northeast corner of the property
to three stories or 35 feet; a waiver of height limit is
requested for this building because of state requirements
for the particular license for this C.A.L.F. Mr. Leichty
will be present to address the licensing problem. Given
the proximity to the three-story building existing at
A.H.E.P.A., I see no reason not to allow the height
variance so long as the construction meets all building
and fire codes and the state requirements.
The Commission clearly has the authority under Section
4.12 of the Zoning Ordinance to consider for approval
heights in excess of two -stories or 30 feet. That
authority is implicit in the language of Section 6.62.
