PETTTI0N
?•le the undersigned residents of the City of Fairhope, Rosa
Acres Subdivision, do respectfully request the City Council of the
City of Fairhope, Alabama to consider and act on the following re-
quests:
I
To change, amend, alter or otherwise restrict
Rosa Acres Subdivision to "Zone R-3 - Single Family
Dwellings". We are well aware of the negative effect
that multiple family housing will have on our property,
the increased danger to our children and personal
belongings, and the general unkept surroundings that
transient neighbors represent. The resident property
owners of Rosa Acres were not properly infbr,ned of` the
plan to build duplex dwellings and rental properties,
and we submit that indeed many of us were deliberately
mis-informed. Most of us bought on the assurance of the
large entrance sign that used the word "restrictive".
This sign has now been painted over.
WE PETITION THE CITY COUNCIL FOR PROMPT RELIEF
FROM THIS PROBLEM.
r
I I
We respectfully request the City Council to
resurvey and/or re-evaluate the Rosa Acres Subdivision
as to the problems of drainage, condition of the streets,
lots and homes to determine if same meet all of the
-2-
existing Federal, State, City and County Engineering,
Health, Housing, and Safety codes. The poor drainage
presently existing presents a serious health and
safety hazard due to water standing for days not.only
in the streets.and driveways, but also.in the resi-
dential lots, making driving hazardous and estab3sh-
irig breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other noxious
insects.
We the undersigned submit this Petition in two separate
parts namely I and II. We ask that these parts be considered and
acted on separately. Failure to act on one part shall not
prejudice the other part.
