Councilman White introduced, and moved for the adoption
of, the following resolution. Seconded by Councilman Ford,
motion passed unanimously:
RESOLUTION NO. 308-90
WHEREAS, the City of Fairhope is led to believe that there
is consideration by the owners of Eastern Shore Shopping
Center to close the existing accessway between that center
and Baldwin Square Shopping Center; and
WHEREAS, the subject accessway has been open to and used
by the public since July, 1980; and
WHEREAS, the closing of said accessway would result in an
increased traffic hazard and congestion on Greeno Road
(US Highway 98) because of traffic between Centers "short
circuiting" from exits to entrances within a short distance; and
WHEREAS, Greeno Road is a major traffic artery already
heavily burdened; and
WHEREAS, the planned four -lane construction of Greeno Road
will likely make traffic movement between the Centers even
more difficult; and
WHEREAS, closing of the accessway and the resulting traffic
movement would be a considerable inconvenience to customers
patronizing the tenants in the Centers; THEN, THEREFORE
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Fairhope,
Alabama, that the owners of Eastern Shore Shopping Center
be and the same hereby are urged and encouraged to allow the
said accessway to remain open and in use as it has been; and
that a copy of this resolution be communicated to the said
owners through The Mitchell Company as their management agent.
ADOPTED THIS 23RD DAY OF APRIL, 1990.
