The minutes of the April 3 and April 10 meeting were approved on motion
by Maxwell Killoch seconded by Debbie Quinn and unanimously carried.
A public hearing was held on a request for zoning concurrent with annexation
on the property of Charles K.(Buddy) Breland, Jr. some 24 acres fronting
on Greeno Road located between Old Tyme Feed and Fairhope Memory Gardens
4.1 acres as B-2 General Business and 20.1 acres as R-6 Mobile Home Park
District. Mr. Sanderson asked Bob to relay his comments. He remarked
that the developer is made aware that site drainage plans will be required
to demonstrate to the City's complete satisfaction that differential storm -
water runoff from the site will be zero or less. Further, that the access
to Greeno Road will be restricted and he may have to install service drives.
He said the proposed zoning is a logical progression of zoning existing to
the north and is not in conflict with the city's present comprehensive plan.
Mr. Sanderson called for comments and Harold Avant spoke saying he had
just bought some 30 acres to the rear of this land and that he plans a
medium housing project and that he is opposed to trailer park going here.
Mrs. McClantoc spoke saying that there is no one present to speak to this.
(Mr. Sanderson had asked if anyone was here to represent this and there
was no one) That it would do no good to voice concerns if there was no one
here, further, that the other re -zoning applicants on Greeno Road were
told to wait on the comprehensive plan and she thinks we should do the same
on this. Cindy spoke saying that as stated we are waiting on the compre-
hensive plan, that this was recommended use 5 years ago but we need to
take a look and see if there is a need for this now. Richard Sanderson
spoke saying due to the fact that no one is present to represent this that
he rules that this be held in abeyance until the plan is presented and we
have a chance to review it. Gene Tillman spoke saying he has the mobile -
home park next to this and he continues to vacancies from time to time does
not see a need for this, it would be an eyesore. A Booker Waters spoke
saying he has the land directly across the street and he has been offered
money for it but if a mobilehome park goes i-n he feels the value of his
property will definitely go down. Tim Kant pointed out that this land is
not zoned now and that if Mr. Breland wanted to he could start his project
tomorrow as there are no restrictions on it from the County. Mrs McClantoc
spoke again asking why we could not straighten out the boundaries of the
city limits. Mr. Sanderson asked her if she had concerns would she please
put them in writing to the commission and they would be addressed.
A Mr. Henson said that a lot of things are being put off would the public
be informed when these come up. Mr. Sanderson said once the comprehensive
plan is received we would have study sessions and then a public hearing and
also the city council would have a public hearing so there would be time for
public input when these meetings are held.

Estates) Phase 2 Part B was considered. - Phase 2,
