A Public Hearing was held as advertised on a proposed ordinance to amend the Zoning Ordinance No. 1253. Councilmember Quinn introduced in writing a proposed ordinance to zone Song Grove Development, LLC, property to R-2 Medium Density Single Family Residential concurrent with annexation into the City of Fairhope. This property is located South of Nichols Avenue and East of Booth Road, Fairhope, Alabama. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of this ordinance. Public Hearing was opened at 6:25 p.m. 3711 28 November 2005 Leon Chambers addressed the City Council and requested that a letter written by him dated July 12, 2005 be spread upon the minutes. Mr. Chambers continued to express that if this property is annexed it would be illegal, and that the Planning and Zoning Commission accepted the preliminary Plat without a public hearing. July 12, 2005 Honorable Robert C. Gentle President, Faitbope City Council Mr. Gentle, As a member of the Environmental Committee, I was asked by Mr. Harry Phillips, chairman, to work with Mr. Tim Dupree on his concerns about the impact of the approved subdivision Song Grove on his area. He is adjacent property northeast and upstream on a major Cowpen creek feeder. His worry is twofold; 1. The topography is flat and low forming a broad ponding basin that has the nature of wetlands that will require considerable filling for the designed development; such that the road beds will run almost perpendicular to the creek forming a dam that will be higher than the natural flow. He made a video to show the massive amount of water that now flows and a mistake in flow control would cause a large increase in the flood stage on his property. 2. The procedure to approve the preliminary plat is flawed and the plat should not have been approved A_ The was no public hearing by the planning commission even though the Fairhope subdivision regulations requires it and the State of Alabama Codes demands iL.( section 11-52-32 (a)^ Any plat submitted to the commission shall contain the name and address of a person to whom a notice of a hearing shall be sent, and no plat shall be acted on by the commission without affording a hearing thereon.) B. Since the subdivision is outside city limit's the plat should have been submitted to the county engineer for approval according to our subdivision regulations before plat approval. C. Since the subdivision is in a low lying area along water courses subject to Hooding it should be submitted to the county engineer for special attention and. approval before the plat is approved according to our subdivision regulations. After investigation l fully concur in his fears. This project is illegal and out of control. The preliminary plat needs to be revoked until the rules are fo)lowed; every day construction continues damage may be done that cannot be corrected. Unfortunately the proper course is for Tim Dupree to get a restraining order from the court and stop work until a proper suit is filed to cornet the violations; but this should not have to happen in our city. I know that legally at this point it is none of the councils' business and that the planning commission is in complete control right or wrong but morally you as our elected representatives can bring some pressure to bear to stop this injustice. You certainly should not annex a subdivision that is illegally conceived but the easy way would be to pass an ordinance that would not allow the building department to issue a construction permit or revokc one to any site that does not comply with the law. You will be asked to approve this subdivision as a final plat for the improvements .... but then it is too late and you will have inherited a nightmare and the public knowing the truth will not be very forgiving. This will be worse than Fairfield Place if you do not take proper action for you would have been forewarned of the possibilities. Of further note ow can we expect cooperation .from the county on the most important issue facing us ... the j ion of hen we throw up roadblocks to cooperatinn like this? rs 3712 28 November 2005 Council President Gentle returned to the Council Chambers at 6:27 p.m., but did not return to the Dias. 2. Tonya Dupre' lives across from Song Grove Development addressed the City Council explaining that she was never given notification of any thing since this development started, and that she did not think that this project is being monitored. Mrs. Dupre' feels that she and her family have been let down by the City, and expressed that if the City annex this property, the City would be annexing a problem. The public hearing was closed at 6:33p.m. Scott Hutchinson, engineer with HMR, addressed the City Council to explain that he has viewed the video of the Dupre's property. He stated that the culvert installed has been increased in size and that the drain is more than adequate to handle the flow of water. The Culvert will handle more water than the Dupre's driveway. Mr. Hutchinson is very concerned with this and is comfortable that the drain system will work. Mr. Hutchinson also explained that the project has been monitored by ADEM, and that the project is being built as we speak. Whether this property is in the City or not it will be a beautiful subdivision. Councilmember Quinn questioned why HMR didn't have this project approved by the County. Mr. Hutchinson explained that the County employee, Gary Smith, was the person who originally okayed the plan, and because of the turning radius and street weight it would be harder to get approved from the County. Councilmember Stankoski expressed that he would think that before annexing this property the City Council would make sure all procedures were followed. Councilmember Ford inquired as to if the conversation between Mr. Hutchinson and Mr. Smith was in writing and why didn't Mr. Hutchinson get this in writing stating that the County did not want to fool with this project because of the two specific items (turning radius and street weight), not being accepted. City Attorney Marion E. Wynne stated that he would get with Summer Woodson, Planning Director, to check the procedure list. Mayor Kant stated that he thought the City need to annex property before anything is built on the property. Councilmember Ford turned the presiding seat back over to Council President Gentle at 6:51 p.m. Harry Phillips stated that he believes that the County has a lot more information than the City on the flooding matter. 3:713 28 November 2005 This proposed ordinance will layover for final adoption at the next regular City Council meeting. Councilmember Ford moved for final adoption of Ordinance No.1280, the amendment to Ordinance No. 1233, Business License Ordinance. The proposed ordinance was introduced at 14 November 2005 Regular City Council meeting. Schedule F will be increased by $.30 cents instead of $ .60 cents, and Alarm companies do not have to provide a list of all customers, but may be audited by the City. Seconded by Councilmember Christenberry, motion for final adoption passed unanimously by the following voice votes: AYE- Quinn, Stankoski, Christenberry, Ford and Gentle. NAY - none. Councilmember Stankoski explained that amending the Business License Ordinance is the final step of taking a look at increasing all the City's fees which Councilmember Stankoski and Council President Gentle was asked to do about a year ago. There is no free lunch in Fairhope even though we all want Fairhope to be unique. Councilmember Quinn moved for final adoption of Ordinance No. 1281, the amendment to Ordinance No. 1129, the Building Code of the City of Fairhope. The proposed ordinance was introduced at 14 November 2005 Regular City Council meeting. Seconded by Councilmember Christenberry, motion for final adoption passed unanimously by the following voice votes: AYE- Quinn, Stankoski, Christenberry, Ford and Gentle. NAY -none. Councilmember Ford introduced in writing an ordinance to adopt a Uniform Cable TV Franchise Agreement. City Attorney, Marion "Tut" Wynn explained that there are a couple of items that need to be changed before final adoption. Councilmember Stankoski suggested raising the application fee from $2,500.00 to $5,000.00. This proposed ordinance will layover for final adoption at the next regular City Council meeting. Councilmember Quinn introduced in writing and moved for the adoption of the following resolution, a resolution authorizing Mayor Kant to advertise the construction project for Utility Relocation at the Bailey Creek Bridge on County Road 98.
