William Richmond, Tim Kant, Dick Charles, Pauline Anders, Thad Ingram
Christopher Baker, Director of Planning & Zoning, Betty Rivenbark, Secretary
Mr. Green recognized Pauline Anders, our new member attending the meeting tonight.
Cecil Pitman was also recognized for his 46 years of service on the Planning & Zoning
Commission. He had expressed a desire to retire and is the only charter member still
serving. Mayor Nix read two proclamations and presented him with a token of our
appreciation.
The minutes were considered and approved as written, with one minor correction, on
motion by Dick Charles, seconded by Bill Jones, and unanimously carried.
ZC 99-15 Public Hearing - Rock Creek PUD/Trae Corte Clarification of the
commercial aspects of the original Rock Creek PUD and site plan approval, located on
the northeast corner of Rock Creek Drive and US 98.
Mr. Baker read his comments wherein he said it was Mr. Corte's desire to clarify the
- commercial uses that will be permitted on all the commercial property in Rock Creek.
That the Planning Department has no issue with these uses and he is seeking to
develop one of the commercial properties at this time and has submitted a site plan
approval. In Mr. Corte's proposal no new streets are proposed, that he is proposing a
curb cut at the north of the property on U.S. 98 and is approximately 4500 ft. from the
existing curb cut for Rock Creek Parkway. That the developer has made application
with the State Highway Department for approval of the cut. He stated the Planning
Department has no issue with the proposed cut. That they have met the setback
requirements for the north, east and west property lines. They meet the zoning
ordinance setback for the south from the original Rock Creek PUD.. The building
coverage to be 35% with an approved height of 35 feet in accordance with original
PUD. That signage and landscaping will conform to city requirements at the time of
building permit application. That they are requesting a waiver on proposed signage on
the ROW for US 98 near the proposed curb cut. He said that the request is not in
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, however, the approved PUD for Rock
Creek does allow commercial development and would be in conformance with the
original Rock Creek PUD. Staff recommendation was to approve the requested
commercial uses with all future commercial construction being submitted individually for
site plan approval and if curb cut is denied that the site plan may be modified without
them having to come back for approval. Mr. Green asked for clarification in that some
of the -permitted uses, i.e., pet shop and dry cleaning, that they did not intend to have
kennels and actual cleaning plant in this space. Trae said he had taken uses out of
i
Planning & Zon 8/2/99
Page two
book, that at this time he had no one interested, but no, they did not intend to allow
either use he questioned. He was questioned about the sign they wanted to provide
and he said it would be like one going into Rock Creek, monument style level to
ground. Mr. Green called for any comments from the audience or commission. Tim
Kant said he was sure they would not be allowed anything on the ROW, he asked
about the curb cut and was he working with the adjacent property owner? What about
setbacks and buffer. Trae said he had written a letter to Craig Dyas adjacent property
owner, and that he had no plans to do anything now, that it will be cleared to the north
property line and they will landscape the north side of the entrance road. ..-Dick. Charles
moved to recommend approval of use to City Council and approve the site plan with the
exception, no dry cleaning and the curb cut be used for both properties, .the one to the
north and this development. = Cecil Pitman seconded and motion carried unanimously.
SD99-28 - Final Plat Approval of Belle Chase Unit 3 - 34 lots. Joel Coleman of
Rester & Coleman Engineers, Inc. was present seeking final approval. Mr. Baker had
commented that this conforms to all requirements of the comprehensive plan and he
recommended approval. Mr. Green called for comments and Mr. Coleman was asked if
this was the last phase and he said no, one more. Tim Kant moved to give final
approval, Thad Ingram seconded and motion carried unanimously.
SD99-29 Mike's Acres Preliminary and Final Approval - Peter Garsed was
- requesting approval of this subdivision, one lot' into two, located on the west side of
Hwy 27 south of Vance Lane. Christopher had commented this is in conformance with
the Comprehensive Plan, it is located in our extraterritorial jurisdiction and requires
county approval. That no drainage plans had been provided and they say no drainage
problems exist. He recommended approval subject to note on plat saying no drainage
study was performed and no drainage information was provided with the subdivision
and that any and all future drainage issues are the responsibility of the purchaser and
owner. Pete Garsed said that he does not know of any future development planned
they just wish to sell half of their property. Dick Charles moved to give preliminaryand
final approval in accordance with staff recommendation. Pauline Anders seconded and
motion carried unanimously.
SD99-30 Waggoner Acres, Preliminary and Final Approval - Larry Hipsh was
representing the owner, Mr. Waggoner, the land being 10 acres located south of Cty
Rd 3 and west of Cty Rd 11. Mr. Baker said this is located outside the city limits and
that it will have to be reviewed by the county. That a survey determined that a 30 ft
drainage easement was needed. That this was provided as a drainage plan but not
shown on the plat, that he recommends approval subject to this 30' easement being
placed on the plat. Dick Charles moved to give approval contingent upon the 30'
drainage easement being placed on the plat. William Richmond 2"d and motion carried

A Public Hearing was held as advertised on a proposed ordinance
to amend the Zoning Ordinance. The Planning & Zoning Commission
recommends approval this ordinance. This ordinance would offer
clarification of the commercial aspects of the Original Rock Creek PUD
and approve a site plan located on the Northeast corner of Rock Creek
Drive and US Hwy 98. Christopher explain the original PUD of Rock Creek
includes some property reserved for commercial uses. However, the
uses permitted for these commercial properties is vague and can be
confusing. In order to prevent any mis-communication between the
developer, prospective tenants, and the City, Mr. Corte is seeing to
clarify the commercial uses that will be permitted on the commercial
property. These proposed uses apply to all of the commercial property
in Rock Creek. The Planning Department has no issue with the uses
proposed by the applicant. Mr. Corte is seeking to develop one of the
commercial properties at this time. Therefore, a site plan has been
submitted for approval. As each commercial property develops, a site
plan will be submitted for approval by the City. After a lengthy
discussion, Councilmember Quinn moved to table the proposed
ordinance. Seconded by Councilmember Jones. Motion to table the
proposed ordinance passed by the following votes: AYE -Duck, Ford,
Quinn, Nix, and Jones. NAY -None.
Councilmember Duck moved to address agenda item # 19 next.
Seconded by Councilmember Ford, motion passed unanimously.

prospective tenants, and the City, Mr. Corte is seeking to clarify the commercial uses
that will be permitted on the commercial property. These proposed uses apply to all of
the commercial property in Rock Creek. The Planning Department has no issue with
the uses proposed by the applicant. Please refer to the attached sheet for the
proposed commercial uses.
Mr. Corte is seeking to develop one of the commercial properties at this time.
Therefore, a site plan has been submitted for approval. As each commercial property
develops, a site plan will be submitted for approval by the City.
The following issues are associated with the site plan:
1) Streets: No new streets are proposed to be constructed with this development. The
developer has been advised that if/ when the property is subdivided that common
access easements will be required.
2) Curb Cuts: The developer is proposing to access US 98 at the north property line.
The State DOT has approved this cut. The Planning Dept. has no issue with the
proposal.
3) Setbacks: The Ordinance requires that setbacks be provided on the site plan. The
developer has provided the required 40' setback on the north and west property lines.
The east property line setback is the flood plain line. The Ordinance requires a 40 foot
setback around the entire property. The developer has indicated that the setback of 20
feet for the frontage on Rock Creek Parkway was approved with the original Rock
Creek Subdivision Plat.
4) Maximum Building Coverage: The developer has indicated that there will be a
maximum of 35% building coverage for the site. This percentage meets the
requirements of the Ordinance.
5) Building Height: The developer has also indicated that building heights of 35 feet
were approved with the original Rock Creek PUD, therefore, all building will conform to
this requirement.
6) Signage and Landscape: The developer has indicated on the site plan that all
signage and landscaping will conform to City requirements at the time of building permit
application.
7) Sign: The developer is proposing signage on what appears to be ROW for US 98
near the proposed curb cut. This is off -site signage which is prohibited by the sign
regulations. The developer is requesting a waiver of this requirement.
8) Comprehensive Plan: This request is not in conformance with the Comprehensive
Plan. The Plan indicates this area to develop as residential. However, the approved
PUD for Rock Creek does allow commercial development. Therefore, the request is in
conformance with the original Rock Creek PUD.
All other issues have been agreed to. Public notice has been given in accordance with
law. To date no comments have been received.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
To approve the attached list of commercial uses for all commercial property in the Rock
Creek PUD. To approve the site plan but deny the sign request on the ROW.
Respectfully Submitted for Consideration,
Christopher D. Baker
Director of Planning and Building

Present: Larry Green, Chairman; members Bill Jones, Pauline Anders, Bob Gentle,
Dick Charles, Lee Turner, Tim Kant; Christopher Baker, Director of Planning &
Zoning, Betty Rivenbark, Secretary
The minutes of the April 3, 2000 meeting were duly considered and approved as written
on motion by Bill Jones, 2"d by Dick Charles and unanimously carried.
ZC99-15 Public hearing - request of Trae Corte for clarification of commercial
aspects of the original Rock Creek PUD and site plan approval. Christopher in his
comments said the original PUD for Rock Creek includes some property reserved for
commercial uses and because of the vagueness Mr. Corte is seeking to clarify the
commercial uses that would be permitted on the commercial property. He stated this
came before us in August, got approval but when went to council they tabled it, then
when came up again sent it back to P & Z. Trae Corte spoke relating that when he
talked to council they required 25 ft. greenbelt, no signage on 4-lane, or ingress/egress
on Hwy 98, he wasn't clear whether they said 5,000 sq ft. or 7,000 for retail business,
no business frontage along 4-lane, no 2 story structures visible from 4 lane and no
signs attached to the buildings. He presented a sketch plan showing the layout they
would like to use; five brick buildings. He said the only retail they would have would be
in the center building, all other buildings would house doctors, lawyers, accountants.
Mr. Green called for any questions from the audience. Mr. Corte was asked if there
were any 2-story and he answered yes to the east but because of fall of land they will
be at rear and look like one story. He was asked if stubbed out on the north property
line and he said no. Bill Jones said his recollection of council direction was that there
was no signage on the 4 lane and that all buildings face towards Rock Creek - that he
sees two signs on the drawing proposal. Trae said yes, he is asking for two small
signs. There were concerns voiced about the backup at the entrance of Rock Creek
and the possibility of opening South Drive and Montrose Woods entrances when
necessary. Bob Gentle asked if he had a timetable. Trae said he thinks he has a
tenant for one building and will probably build the second building as a spec building.
Further discussion led to a motion by Dick Charles to approve subject to the resolution
of whether 5,000 or 7,000 square feet was approved and resolution of the sign issue
and forward this recommendation to the city council. Pauline Anders 2"d and motion
carried unanimously.
ZC00-03 Public hearing to amend the Zoning Ordinance to disallow further application
of the R3PGH District and to delete the existing Planned Unit Development provisions
and establish a new more simplified PUD process. Christopher said that he had been
directed to prepare amendments to the zoning ordinance that would accomplish two
objectives: 1. Disallow further applications for the R3PGH district and 2. Simplify,
clarify and rework our existing PUD ordinance so that it is easier to use, understand
and apply. He said in doing so that there were two separate ordinances created. The

A Public Hearing was continued on a proposed ordinance to amend the
oning Ordinance 557. This ordinance considers the request of Trae Corte for
a clarification of the commercial aspects of the Original Rock Creek PUD and
for Site Plan approval, located on the Northeast Corner of Rock Creek Drive
and U.S. Hwy 98.
Christopher Baker Director of Planning and Building submitted the following for
consideration:
The original PUD of Rock Creek includes some property reserved for
commercial uses. However the uses permitted for these commercial properties
are vague and can be confusing. In order to prevent any mis-communication
between the developer, prospective tenants, and the City, Mr. Corte is seeking
to clarify the commercial uses that will be permitted on the commercial
property. These proposed uses apply to all of the commercial property in Rock
Creek. A site plan has been submitted for approval.
As each commercial property develops, a site plan will be submitted for
approval by the City. The case was considered by the Planning Commission in
August and recommended approval.. The Council subsequently table the
request. The developers then provided revised material. The Council then dent
the request back to the Planning Commission for reevaluation.
26 June 2000
The following issuers are associated with the site plan:
1. Streets: No new streets are proposed to be constructed with this development.
2. Curb Cuts: No curb cuts to US Hwy 98 are proposed. The access to the
development is from Rock Creek Parkway.
3. Setbacks: The Ordinance required that setbacks be provided on the site plan.
The ordinance requires a 40 foot setback around the entire property. No setback
dimension information is provided.
4. Maximum Building Coverage: No building coverage information has been
provided.
5. Building Height: 35' building height is proposed.
6. Comprehensive Plan: This request is not in conformance with the
Comprehensive Plan. The Plan indicates this area to develop as residential.
However, the approved PUD for Rock Creek does allow commercial
development. Therefore, the request is in conformance with the original Rock
Creek PUD.
7. Pedestrian Access: Pedestrian access will be from Rock Creek. It is suggested
that a pedestrian link be provided to the property to the north.
8. Tenant Space: Retail space for all buildings is proposed at 7,000 sq. ft. There
is no limit on office or service uses.
Staff Recommendation:
To approve a list of commercial uses for all commercial property in the Rock
Creek PUD. To request adequate landscaping, no additional signage on US Hwy 98, a
maximum square footage of 5,000 per retail tenant, and pedestrian access to the
property to the north.
There were about 20 to 25 residents of Rock Creek Subdivision present. Mr.
Howard Brown spokesperson for the Rock Creek residents ask that the Council not
approve this ordinance. Mr. Brown expressed that using the one entrance Rock Creek
Parkway for all residents and commercial development would cause an enormous
traffic problem.
Mr. Bob Foster also with the Rock Creek Properties Association asked the
Council to consider the lack of safety when coming in and out of Rock Creek. Mr.
Foster also strongly urged that the Council not approve this site plan until an access
from U.S. Hwy 98 could be provided. Councilmember Ford stated that there has been
some conversation about opening Beaver Dam Road through Mr. Niemeyer's Property,
and asked if this option could be further explored.
26 June 2000
Councilmember Quinn asked Mr. Tanner if a traffic study could be done. Mr.
Corte was not in agreement of a traffic study, but urged the Council to take action on
this ordinance tonight. Councilmember Quinn reiterated to Mr. Tanner that a traffic
study needed to be done. Mayor Nix recommends that this issue be tabled until an
access is worked out for the safety of everybody, and until Rock Creek Developers do a
traffic study.
Councilmember Jones moved to table this issue until such time a traffic study
could be conducted by the Rock Creek Developers, and involve everyone. Seconded by
Councilmember Quinn, motion passed by the following votes: AYE -Duck, Ford,
Quinn, Nix, Jones. NAY -none. (Ordinance was not introduced)
A Public Hearing was continued on a proposed ordinance to amend the Zoning
Ordinance 557. Councilmember Jones introduced in writing an ordinance that would
dis-allow further application of the R3PGH District and to delete the existing Planned
Unit Development provision and establish a new more simplified PUD process.
Christopher Baker explained that there are two separate ordinances in conjunction with
this case. The first does not delete the R3PHG district requirements from the Zoning
Ordinance because we have R3PGH zoned property in town. The Ordinance does
rp event the Planning Department from accepting any application for a zoning district
change to this district, and adding a new district to the revised PUD. Councilmember
Ford had reservation about the verbiage "Slight changes in the detail of the Planned Unit
Development that do not change the intent, meaning, relationship of structures to each
other may be approved by the director of Planning and Building". After further
discussion, Councilmember Jones moved to suspend the rules. Seconded by
Councilmember Quinn, motion passed by the following votes: AYE -Duck, Quinn, Nix,
Jones. NAY -Ford. This ordinance will layover until next regular meeting.

following resolution. Seconded by Councilmember Ford, motion passed unanimously.

�Ablic Hearing was held as advertized on a proposed ordinance to amend the
Zoning Ordinance No. 557. Councilmember Ford introduced in writing Ordinance No.
1103. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommends approval of this ordinance, an
ordinance to Clarify the commercial uses permitted under the original Rock Creek
Planned Unit Development. Mr. Christopher Baker, Director of Planning and Building,
explained to the City Council that Mr. Corte and Mr. Tanner are seeking clarification of
the commercial uses that would be permitted in the Rock Creek PUD. When Rock Creek
was originally developed several lots were indicated as commercial. The intent of the
commercial designation was for the use of the residents of Rock Creek. This item came
before the City Council on September 13, 1999, and was sent back to the P&Z
Commission. After discussion, Councilmember Ford asked to amend the proposed
ordinance by removing the building height requirements. Councilmember Anders moved
to suspend the rules. Seconded by Councilmember Quinn, motion to suspend the rules
passed unanimously by the following votes: AYE -Gentle, Ford, Quinn, Kant, Anders, and
Christenberry. NAY -none. Councilmember Ford then moved for final adoption of
Ordinance No 1103 in its amended form. Seconded by Councilmember Quinn, motion
for final adoption passed unanimously by the following votes: AYE -Gentle, Ford, Quinn,
Kant, Anders, and Christenberry. NAY -none.
APublic Hearing was held as advertized on a proposed ordinance to amend the
Zoning Ordinance No. 557. Councilmember Anders introduced in writing the proposed
ordinance. Mr. Baker explained that Mr. Tanner and Mr. Corte are seeking site plan
approval for. one of the indicated commercial lots in Rock Creek. This lot is located at
the Northeast comer of Rock Creek Parkway and Highway 98.
A site plan has been submitted. Should the City Council approve the site plan,
any building permit issued would require substantial conformance to the site plan.
This item was considered by the City Council on September 13, 1999, and tabled
until a traffic study was conducted. The traffic study was completed and distributed to
the Council in early December 2000. The traffic study recommends a cut at the Northern
portion of lot 177C to Highway 98, and a cut onto Rock Creek Parkway. These
recommendations are outlined within the traffic study report. Alabama Department of
Transportation has already approved a cut to Highway 98 at this location. Access is
provided to the lot via a curb cut from Rock Creek Parkway. No access is provided to
Highway 98 on the submitted site plan. Mr. Baker further explained that a maximum
building height of 35 ft is requested. There is also parking in front of the building
fronting Highway 98. Signage is also proposed on Highway 98.
The staff s recommendations were to approve the site plan subject to a maximum
building height of 30 ft; landscaping required from Highway 98 to the building fronting
Highway 98 (No parking adjacent to Hwy 98), allowing the signage attached with a
maximum of 30 sq. ft., providing pedestrian access to the property to the North, providing
egress only to Highway 98, and reconstructing the acceleration lane out of Rock Creek in
accordance with the recommendation in the traffic study.
22 January 2001 2610
Mr. Corte explained that the land slops from Highway 98 to the wetlands, and
approves having 30 ft buildings on the front portion of the lot, but would like to have 35
ft building on the back portion of the lot.
Mr. Metzger, a traffic engineer, recommended removing the acceleration lane, and
adding a right turning lane. Mr. Metzger also expressed that eventually a traffic light
would be needed at this intersection. Several citizens strongly edged the City Council to
require a site plan showing all additional accesses before ruling on this proposed
ordinance. It was also suggested that an investigation on a traffic light be conducted.
Councilmember Quinn expressed concerns of having a parking lot in front of the building
fronting Highway 98. Mr. Corte expressed that the parking lot would be sunken;
therefore, only tops of the vehicles will be seen from Highway 98. After further.
discussion, Mayor Kant recommended laying over this item, and assigned this item to the
Street Committee to work with the developers and the Rock Creek Home Owners
Association. This item will be addressed at the next regular City Council meeting.

Councilman Bob Gentle
City of Fairhope
RE: Rock Creek Commercial Site Plan Consensus Items
Mr. Gentle
As you are aware the Street Committee held a special workshop on 7 March 2001 to discuss the
proposed site plan for the Rock Creek Commercial Lot 177C. No formal action was taken, as this
was merely a workshop to build consensus and communication. Any formal approval or denial of
the site plan MUST take place at a public hearing AFTER the required public notice is given.
The items below represent the consensus as a result of the meeting. They mirror my statements
at the close of the meeting, so that all persons attending had an opportunity to understand what
was agreed to. The items are in no particular order of importance.
1. Number of Lots - Buildings: The number of lots and buildings is not significant. The total
square footage any and all buildings on lot 177C shall be no more than 44,000 square feet and
measured by the building(s) footprint. Porches do not count against the 44,000 sq. ft. number.
2. Parking: 1 row of parking between the building(s) and the 4 Lane is acceptable. It shall be
consistent with the parking shown on the site plan submitted on 21 February 2001.
3. Lighting: All parking lot lights shall be a maximum of 20' tall from the ground to the top of the
fixture. Lighting shall be recessed in a box and shall have 72.5 angle sharp cut-off design or
greater.
4. Landscaping: Impervious landscaping shall be provided along the entire frontage of the 4
Lane and Rock Creek Parkway. This landscaping shall be installed all at the same time. The
landscape plan shall be approved by Jennifer Fidler, City Horticulturist. Buildings on the interior
shall submit a landscape plan at the time of building permits and shall be approved by Jennifer
Fidler as well. All mechanical equipment shall be screened.
5. Signage: No signage is permitted on the 4 Lane side of the buildings 1,2, and 3 as shown on
the 21 February 2001 site plan. Buildings 1,2, and 3 may have up to a 3 sq. ft. sign per tenant for
identification purposes in the development.
Buildings 3 and 4 as shown on the 21 February 2001 site plan may have non -illuminated raised
letters facing Rock Creek Parkway. The size of these signs shall be half of the building width up
to a max of 50 sq. ft.
Signage for all other buildings shall conform to City of Fairhope sign ordinance.
One "type A" as submitted with the 21 February information shall be permitted on your property at
the northern ingress/ egress to the 4-Lane.
09 April 2001
One "type A" as submitted with the 21 February information shall be permitted on your property at
the ingress/ egress from Rock Creek Parkway as shown on the 21 February site plan.
One tenant panel shall be allowed in the interior of the development.
6. Access: A cut for ingress and egress to the 4-Lane at the northern property line is permitted.
Access to Rock Creek Parkway shall be as shown on the 21 February site plan. The median just
to the west of the proposed Parkway access shall be modified to allow for a left turn lane.
7. Pedestrian Access: A 10' wide non -vehicular access easement shall be provided to the
property zoned R3PGH to the north of lot 177C.
This letter is being faxed to all of the participants who cared to leave their fax number on the sign
in sheet.
As stated above, this issue must be given public notice before the Council can take action.
According to Geniece Johnson, City Clerk, this item would be eligible for the 9 April 2001 Council
meeting if the revised site plan and materials are submitted to the Planning Department by 12
March 2001.
I hope this answers all of your questions. Should you have any further questions or need any
more information, please feel free to contact me.
Respectfully,
Christopher D. Baker
Director of Planning and Building
After a discussion, with Mr. Reed, a real estate developer involved in this project,
Councilmember Gentle withdrew his amendment to tie the development of the first
building in with the development of South Drive.
Councilmember Ford and Councilmember Anders requested that a good faith date
