1 SD 25.05 Battles Trace Phase 9 – February 3, 2025
The following report was originally written for the April 7, 2025 Planning Commission meeting. Red text was
added for the March 6, 2025 meeting.
Summary of Request:
Public hearing to consider the request of the Applicant, Sawgrass Consulting, on behalf of the Owner, PCH
Hotels and Resorts/RSA, is requesting Preliminary Plat approval of Battles Trace Phase 9, an 81-lot major
subdivision. The property is approximately 22.4 acres and is located on the north side of Battles Road, on the
east and west sides of Colony Drive. The property is zoned TR – Tourism Resort District.
Comments
- The application was heard and tabled at the February 3rd Planning Commission meeting. Revisions
have been made to the grading and landscape plans.
- The subject property is part of the TR District and if approved it will be the next phase of Battles
Trace. The TR District requires that the overall gross density for residential areas shall be no greater
than 3.5 units per gross area and the TR District shall provide at least 20% open/green space. Both
conditions are met. Currently “3-4 additional phases are anticipated to be similar in nature to phase
9 and other previous phases.”
Utilities:
- Water, Sewer, and Gas: City of Fairhope and aid to construction costs will be determined once the
final construction designs have been reviewed.
- Power: Riviera Utilities
- Communications: AT&T
Drainage:
- Battles Trace PH 9 contains approximately 22.4 acres and is located to the North and West of the
intersection of Geranium Dr. and Lobelia Ln. There is a ridge running through the middle of the site
2 SD 25.05 Battles Trace Phase 9 – February 3, 2025
which generally separates the drainage to the east and the west directions. The site is currently
wooded consisting mostly of planted pines. One detention pond is proposed in the SW corner of the
site to detain the area that generally lies on the west side of the ridge. This pond will be routed to an
existing 18” HDPE pipe that was stubbed out during the construction of PH 5 and will ultimately be
routed to the existing 18-acre lake and adjacent 1- acre pond prior to being discharged from the
western portion of the development. Water quality requirements for the developed area (generally
located on the west side of the ridge) will be accommodated by the existing 18-acre lake and 1-acre
pond noted above. All water on the east side of the ridge will drain (un-detained) to the existing 2-
acre wet detention pond located on the golf course (located NW of the intersection between Battles
Road and Section St, and along the east side of Battles Trace PH 7 and PH 8). This detention pond
was constructed during Battles Trace PH 7 and was designed to accommodate both water quality
and detention requirements for the proposed developed area located within PH 9 (generally located
on the east side of the ridge).
- The Grading plan was revised and the area between the development and Hill Top Subdivision now
reflects a 20’ Undisturbed Buffer and a retaining wall will be constructed.
- The EOR performed an inspection of the stormwater facilities and provided a report. A full report is
in the Packet. The Summary/Conclusion from the EOR’s report is listed below for convenience.
- Additional protected trees have been reflected on the plans and are preserved.
Citizen Comments:
- Staff has received several phone calls and emails regarding this next phase. Citizen correspondence
is included in the packet along with two petitions that were received from the Hill Top Subdivision
and Battles Trace Subdivision property owners.
The City of Fairhope Subdivision Regulations contain the following criteria in Article V.B.2. Approval Standards.
“2. Consistency with Plans, Regulations and Laws - The Planning Commission shall not approve the
subdivision of land if the Commission makes a finding that such land is not suitable for platting and
development as proposed, due to any of the following:
a. The proposed subdivision is not consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, and/or the City’s Zoning
ordinance, where applicable;
• Meets
b. The proposed subdivision is not consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan or any other plan or
program for the physical development of the City including but not limited to a Master Street Plan, a Parks
Plan, a Bicycle Plan, a Pedestrian Plan, or the Capital Improvements Program;
• Meets
3 SD 25.05 Battles Trace Phase 9 – February 3, 2025
c. The proposed subdivision is not consistent with these Regulations;
• Meets
d. The proposed subdivision is not consistent with other applicable state or federal laws and regulations;
• Meets
e. The proposed subdivision otherwise endangers the health, safety, welfare or property within the
planning jurisdiction of the City.”
• Meets
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval with conditions SD 25.04 Battles Trace Phase 9 preliminary plat.
1. Add a 20’ Undisturbed Buffer to the plat as shown on grading plans adjacent to Hill Top Subdivision.

COLONY AT THE GRAND RESIDENT ISSUES & CONCERNS -PHASE 9
The following points are submitted to the Fairhope Planning Commission by Colony residents
regarding the current development and future planning of The Colony at the Grand. The
homeowners of The Colony at The Grand respectfully request that the current plan submitted to
the City of Fairhope for Phase 9, which includes multi-family units and carriage homes, be
disapproved. The homeowners would like the developer to continue the original plan for
development of single-family homes. The following points by the residents' Phase 9 petition are
underscored by the fact most residents have not been able to obtain a current Phase 9
development plan through either the developer or the City Planning Commission.
1 . With the proposed Phase 9 planning underway, it is our understanding that townhomes
and carriage homes will be included in the plan. If this is the case, The Colony at the
Grand has evolved far away from what was originally promised to the City and
residents/homeowners. The original vision of a community of single family homes will be
lost.
2. Phase 9 infrastructure concerns:
a. Housing density:
i. Townhomes and carriage homes will increase the area population and
density, while changing the promised subdivision build-plan. Large
parking lots are unsightly and noisy in a subdivision setting.
ii. Very narrow two-lane roads provide entry into the proposed Phase 9
subdivision. There is currently no room for turn-offs into the subdivision,
creating a congestion and safety problem. Has the City conducted
feasibility studies for the large increase in traffic flow on small two-lane
roads with no shoulders (i.e. Section Street)?
iii. Close housing would increase susceptibility and risk to loss by fire. Has
access by fire trucks been studied for human and property safety? Fire
department response to a recent house fire was delayed by at least 5
minutes due to subdivision entry issues.
iv. The City has viewed a proposed rezoning for an apartment complex on
Greeno Road north of Publix at Point Clear in a negative way. Primary
reasons included over-burdening existing infrastructure and community
support. The proposed apartment complex was less than . 7 miles from
the proposed Phase 9 on a much better road system (Greeno Rd).
v . One comment from a recent home purchaser regarding Phase 9
development: " ... there was never any mention of the planned development
less than 100 yards from our front door. We had conversations with the sales
office about the road that has been cut into the woods -meaning more homes
in the near future; however, there was never mention that this next phase
would be any different than what we have seen throughout this development."
1. This is at best a failure to properly disclose material information to a
buyer and at worst a deceptive omission by the developer's sales
office.
2. Note: The Colony website and marketing media for The Colony at
the Grand continue to portray only single-family homes in future
phases.
b. Retention Lakes/Pond:
i. Retention lakes/ponds: Additional high volume rainwater run-off will affect
the surrounding areas and retention ponds/Sweetwater Lake. This run-off
is exacerbated by the proposed development forestry clearcutting.
ii. Sweetwater retention lake is already stressed by current phases. After
several past rain events, the levee has seeped water for days. Water
run-off is close to reaching maximum capacity of the existing lake. With
the potential of up to five more retention ponds draining into Sweetwater,
residents neighboring Sweetwater Lake have major concerns over a
levee breach and residential flooding in the future.
iii. Sweetwater Lake has been filled with run-off, silt and construction debris,
and no action or mitigation plan has been put in place by the developer to
fix the issues.
iv. Mobile Bay Keeper issues from previous complaints regarding drainage
and runoff have not been corrected.
3. Other concerns:
a. During Phase 8 construction, many additional trees were clear cut other than
originally projected to the residents. Will the City follow-up to ensure the builders
and contractors adhere to the approved plan for Phase 9?
The residents of the Colony are tax paying citizens of Fairhope and would like the City Planning
Commission to not permit the Retirement Systems of Alabama (RSA) and their contractors
considerations and approvals other builders would not receive, without serious consideration of
public opinion.
Residents are concerned of the perceived inappropriate relationship between Sawgrass and the
City of Fairhope. Sawgrass should not receive any preferred treatment for approval of the
Phase 9 development. (Refer to pro-Sawgrass comments made by the Mayor at the January
13, 2025 Fairhope City Council Meeting.) There also exists a perception of a potential conflict
of interest in approval of this project as RSA holds the city employees' retirement fund.
The Planning Commission should also be aware that the residents have the following issues
with Retirement Systems of Alabama (RSA), resulting in the residents' initiating petitions like
these:
• Colony at the Grand residents have not been told what the plan for Lakewood expansion
and fee impact would be if Phase 9 is approved. The Lakewood facilities are at or near
their current capacity limits, per local fire codes. Moving away from single family homes
as proposed in the Phase 9 plan would greatly impact current residents' quality of life
and facility use.
• Will Phase 9 allow leasing and short-term rentals?
• How will current resident HOA fees be impacted by Phase 9, since the facility and
greenspace support have a different construct from single family homes?
• RSA does not allow residents a voice at the table to express concerns regarding on-
going development, maintenance, and issues impacting The Colony at the Grand. To
date, none of the seven completed Phases within The Colony have been turned over to
the residents, nor does a resident have a seat on the HOA board, contrary to what is
stated in their own Colony at the Grand brochure. This has resulted in a gradual erosion
of trust and sense of community that was once an attraction to reside in The Colony.
Moreover, RSA continues to hurt their reputation by this no-contact, "do it our way"
conduct, which has unfortunately forced this petition.
• The citizens of The Colony want the City to be aware of these issues the residents have
repeatedly attempted to address.
Sincerely,
~Signed~

We, the undersigned of this petition, being residents of The
Colony at The Grand, (hereafter known as The Colony) located
in the city of Fairhope, AL, do hereby request that the
application by Retirement Systems of Alabama, Stuart
Construction and Sawgrass Engineering for development of
Phase 9 of the Colony at The Grand be disapproved under the
current plan as submitted. Phase 9 is a 25-acre parcel of a larger
100-acre tract to be developed by RSA. Phases 1-8 of The
Colony consists of single-family homes, apart from the original
condominium building, Bayview II. The plan for Phase 9 as
proposed will consist of multi-family housing and carriage
homes, multiple large parking areas and high-density occupancy
as compared to the current single-family housing in The Colony.
Phase 9 will completely change the appearance of the current
neighborhood and devalue existing homes, which currently
range in value from $600,000 to well over $1 million. Moreover,
this current plan will also put additional strain on city
infrastructure, emergency services, medical services, schools
and traffic in an already well-traveled thoroughfare. We ask the
planning commission to require the developer and builder to
continue building Phase 9 of The Colony under its original plan
ofsingJe-family homes, which is what was presented to
purchasers of homes in Phases 1-8 and as depicted on their
website as of January 3, 2025.

Subject:Case SD25 04 Battles Trace Phase 9
Date:Wednesday, January 22, 2025 4:44:42 PM
I received the Sawgrass Consulting Information on Fairhope City Latter-head Dated 1/20/25 via certified mail on the
afternoon of 1/22/25 with a response deadline of 1/24/25. This is an insufficient timeline for owners and
stakeholders to make serious evaluations and responses. It smacks of last minute trickery in the hopes that people
will not have sufficient time or information to make thoughtful evaluations and timely responses.
1st) The map attached is too small to read and understand. A 27 acre development is crammed into the top left 1/4 of
an 81/2 by 11 piece of paper. (Really) When I asked Sawgrass people at their initial meeting for a copy of their
proposal they declined and said I could take a picture on my phone. When I asked if the plat was on their website
they said NO.
2nd) When I purchased lot BT 216 in Battles Trace nobody ever mentioned that future phases would have
substantial increased density changes. (Patio Homes or Carriage Houses were not discussed or contemplated) This is
inconsistent with existing build outs.
3rd) I so no added amenities only Detention ponds. You can't just keep cramming people and houses into a small
area and not add pools, dog parks, walking paths etc. if they are on the attached plat you can’t read it or see them.
4th) There is already drainage issues in the Colony. The houses on the slope north of the road near the entrance from
CR 3 will add to the existing drainage problems.
I am opposed to the plan as presented but I understand and appreciate that the developer has the right to build and
add new phases to the Colony. I just think they should be more in line with the plans and lot sizes like in the earlier
phases 1-6.
Thank You,

Subject:Battles Trace Phase 9
Date:Friday, January 24, 2025 11:37:09 AM
I am writing to voice concern for Phase 9.
-The gates are rarely working and it is already backed up on Section Street entrance. They
aren’t shut at the times the sales office isn’t opened after hours.
-There is NO PEDESTRIAN entrance or way to exit the development off of Section St. if you
are not in a vehicle.
-The additional 81 homes in Phase 9 that will utilize this gate as their primary entrance and
exit will be a major congestion problem.
-Phase 6 was sold lots on Geranium Dr. with the map that showed a lushly landscaped area
between Phase 9. It was sold to us that it would look like the area behind Cubin Lily. That is
not what they are proposing.
-RSA as a private entity are developing each phase, not adhering to current city codes
regarding widths, lanes for roadways and sidewalks. But as a tax paying citizen it is your
responsibility, as the City of Fairhope to the Colony residence’ if you are approving these
phases to ensure that these developments you are approving has standards that homebuyers
will be able to live with.
-There is already a drainage problem behind Phase 6 which was a known problem as they built
Phase 6. It is now Phase 9 and they are finally suggesting a fix, but we are still in the dark as
to what that fix is. Why are they not doing these fixes as they sell these homes? If Phase 6
was approved why was the drainage not addressed with the City of Fairhope at that time?
-As the City of Fairhope, you are responsible for ensuring the plans that you approve meet
codes and safety for your tax paying residence regardless of who the developer is.
-The original agreement to develop The Colony in conjunction with the purchase of Lakewood
Country Club has far exceeded the size and scope of the original agreement. It is the
responsibility of the City of Fairhope to ensure the residence of The Colony have each
continuing phase meet the standards of the original agreement.
Hilltop at Fairhope
Hilltop Residents Petition to the City of Fairhope Planning Commission
1-24-2025
The residents of the Hilltop subdivision located in the City of Fairhope, AL,
request that the permit application for the development of Battles Trace Phase 9
be disapproved as currently submitted. The application proposes 100% clearing of
all trees and natural growth in the designated “Common Areas” abutting the
Hilltop development, which we oppose.
We are asking the planning commission to require the preservation of all trees 6” in
diameter and larger in the “Common Areas” shown in the attached supporting
document. The area of concern, which we have had surveyed by a Certified
Arborist, is approximately 2 acres in size and contains 109 hardwoods and pines
between 6” and 28” in diameter. Ninety (90) of those mature trees are 10” and larger
in diameter.
Today, this area provides natural stormwater drainage mitigation that would work
in concert with manmade stormwater management systems. In addition, this area
significantly adds to the beauty of the area and is home to a wide variety of wildlife,
including fox, fox squirrels, raccoons, opossums, owls, hawks, cardinals,
woodpeckers, wrens, bluebirds, and many, many more.
We’ve been told by the developer that clear cutting this area is needed to facilitate
grading. We believe destroying decades of natural habitat to facilitate grading is
unnecessary, irresponsible, and unneighborly.
We understand that Battles Trace Phase 9 is in a Tourism Resort District which
allows extensive exemptions relative to the ordinances of the City of Fairhope.
However, we also understand that when the TR District was created and
exemptions were granted 15 years ago, buffer zones were set aside to preserve trees.
Ostensibly this was done to naturally enhance the beauty of the area, provide a
natural shield with neighbors and to support the spirit of the Fairhope tree
ordinances. We believe that similar solutions and compromises be required by the
planning committee for the Battles Trace Phase 9 development.

1 SR 24.07 Staggers Mixed Use Project Site Plan –March 6, 2025
Summary of Request:
Request of the Applicant, Overstreet & Assoc., on behalf of the Owner, Bon Aventure Too, is requesting Site
Plan approval of Staggers Mixed-Use Project, a 3-unit multiple occupancy project. The property is
approximately 0.20 acres and is located on Morphy Avenue west of S. School Street.
Setbacks: B-2 requires only a 20ft front setback according to Table 3-2. The CBD mostly eliminates any other
setbacks and encourages non-residential buildings to be built at the right-of-way line. The proposed project
provides public open space and an extension of the 6’ wide sidewalk provided in the ROW.
2 SR 24.07 Staggers Mixed Use Project Site Plan –March 6, 2025
Building: Building height for the two-story structure is 39’ 1“. Building material proposed is painted brick. The
second and third floor will be two (2) residential units. The second floor has a balcony on the front side. The
building is setback from the ROW line allowing room for the balcony to be completely inside the property.
Complete elevations are included in the packet.
First Floor Plan
Second Floor Plan
3 SR 24.07 Staggers Mixed Use Project Site Plan –March 6, 2025
Third Floor Plan
Parking: Dwelling units must provide parking in the CBD. There are two (2) dwelling units upstairs and two (2)
parking spaces are provided at the rear of the building. Two additional parking spaces are proposed in the
adjacent ROW.
Sidewalks: A sidewalk is proposed in front of the building. The sidewalk is varies in width from 6’ -12’. The
areas 6’ are due to proposed landscape islands and a transition to a handicap ramp inside the property.
Locations, intensity, and heights of exterior lights: No issues with proposed lighting plan.
Mechanical equipment: The building drops down in height towards the rear and the mechanical equipment
is located on this lower roof and not visible from the street.
Dumpster location and screening: Garbage is city roll out bins stored on a parking pad at the rear of the
building.
Stormwater and Drainage: Drainage infrastructure exists between the subject property and the adjacent
property to the west (Methodist Church). A drainage and ingress/egress easement has been provided between
the two properties. Water sheet flows to a trench drain between the properties and captured in inlets around
the proposed building to be routed to the existing storm sewer that outfalls to south. Additional storage
volume is accounted for in the new storm pipes.
Location and size of all signage: Signage will be reviewed at time of a sign permit submittal.
Erosion control: Appropriate measures, if any, will be part of the ROW and/or land disturbance permit review
process.
Utilities: A utility plan was submitted and has been reviewed and approved by the appropriate providers.
4 SR 24.07 Staggers Mixed Use Project Site Plan –March 6, 2025
ADA Requirements: ADA requirements per the Architect are met and at time of building permit will be further
verified.
Traffic: A traffic study was not warranted. A private drive will be utilized to access the residential parking
spaces in the rear.

right to use Parcel A (including the portions thereof that are subject to the BAT Easements) for any purposes
whatsoever including, without limitation, the right to grant utility easements (by plat or otherwise), and the

replacement of any and all improvements located thereon (the "Works") with such Party obligated under this
Agreement to undertake the Works, in order to provide for the orderly and harmonious use and operation of such
Party's Parcel including any and all Improvements located thereon.
9. SUBORDINATION OF MORTGAGES
It is the intention of the Parties, and/or their successors and/or assigns, that the holders of all existing

this Agreement and the Easements established, granted and/or created herein, and that the foreclosure or other
exercise of rights by such holder shall not terminate or cancel the Easements or this Agreement in any respect.
10. INSURANCE
a. BAT and FUMC shall purchase and maintain, and shall cause its contractors, agents,
subcontractors and suppliers, as applicable ("Contractors"), to purchase and maintain adequate insurance to
protect against the liabilities and obligations of BAT and FUMC under this Agreement, including, without
limitation, a commercial general liability insurance policy(ies) with: (a) contractual liability coverage to fully
insure any indemnification obligations in this Agreement; (b) coverage for personal injury and property damage;
(c) workers compensation as required by the laws of the State of Alabama.
b. The insurance policy(ies) required to be procured and maintained by BAT and FUMC and each
of its respective Contractors, as applicable, under this Agreement shall be issued by one or more responsible
insurance companies licensed to do business in the State of Alabama. BAT and FUMC, as applicable, shall be
named as an additional insured under all policies required pursuant to this Agreement and in all events such
insurance shall be primary to any liability insurance carried by such Party. All such policies shall contain the
following endorsements: (i) that such insurance may not be cancelled or amended except upon thirty (30) days'
prior written notice from the insurance company to the applicable Party, and (ii) that such Party shall be solely
responsible for the payment of all premiums under such policy, and that the non-procuring Party, shall not have
any obligation for the payment of any premiums under such policy. Each Party agrees to deliver to such other
Party, all certificates of insurance for all such policies of insurance prior to such Party first exercising its rights
hereunder, and at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the expiration of any such policy, such Party, shall deliver
to the other Party, as applicable, all certificates of insurance evidencing the renewal thereof. Should a Party fail
to provide the insurance coverages required herein (the "Failing Party"), then the other Party shall have the
right but not the obligation to procure such insurance and the Failing Party shall promptly reimburse the other
Party for any such amounts so expended; provided that nothing herein shall be interpreted as requiring the non-
procuring Party, to secure such insurance.
11. REMEDIES
a. If a Party defaults in the performance of any obligation under this Agreement (the "Defaulting
Party"), which default affects the Parcel of the other Party or any occupant thereof (the "Affected Party"), the
Affected Party shall provide written notice of such default to the Defaulting Party ("Notice of Default"), and if
6
Doc# 2139754 Recorded: 08/06/2024 11:22 AM Page 7 of 25
the Defaulting Party fails to cure the default within thirty (30) days ofreceipt of the Notice of Default (or if the
same cannot be reasonably cured within thirty (30) days, fails to commence said cure with the thirty (30) day
period and fails to proceed diligently to cure the same, or in the event of an emergency after such notice as is
practical under the circumstances), the Affected Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform
such obligation on behalf of the Defaulting Party. In such event, the Defaulting Party shall promptly reimburse
the Affected Party for any and all costs and/or expenses incurred by the Affected Party, together with interest
thereon from the date of outlay at the Default Rate. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to limit any other
remedy at law or in equity which non-defaulting party may have with respect to such default, including, without
limitation, a suit or suits for injunction, specific performance and damages.
b. Any action taken or document executed in violation of this Agreement shall be void and may
be set aside upon the petition of such Party. Any costs and expenses of any such proceeding (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees in a reasonable amount) shall be paid by the Defaulting Party.
c. No delay or omission of any Party in the exercise of any right accruing upon any default of any
other Party shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver thereof, and every such right may be exercised
at any time during the continuance of such default. A waiver by any Party of a breach of, or a default in, any of
the terms or conditions of this Agreement by any other Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of any
subsequent breach of or default under the same provision or any other provision of this Agreement. Except as
otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for in this Agreement shall be exclusive
but each shall be cumulative with all other remedies provided for herein or at law or in equity.
d. No breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle any Party to cancel, rescind or
otherwise terminate this Agreement, but such limitation shall not affect, in any manner, any other rights or
remedies which any Party may have hereunder by reason of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement.
12. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
a. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, this Agreement and the easements, rights,
obligations and liabilities created hereby shall be perpetual to the extent permitted by law. If, under applicable
law, any provision of this Agreement is limited to a lesser term, such lesser term shall automatically apply to
such provision but shall not affect the balance hereof.
b. Every agreement, declaration, covenant, promise, undertaking, condition, easement, right,
privilege, option and restriction made, declared, granted or assumed, as the case may be, in this Agreement shall
constitute an equitable servitude on the Parcel owned by such Party, and the benefits and burdens thereof shall
run with the title to the Parcels. Any transferee of any part of a Parcel shall automatically be deemed, by
acceptance of the title to any portion of such Parcel, to have assumed all obligations of this Agreement relating
thereto to the extent of its interest in its Parcel and to have agreed with the then owner or owners of all other
portions of the Parcels to execute any and all instruments and to do any and all things reasonably required to
carry out the intention of this Agreement. Upon the completion of such transfer, the transferor shall be relieved
of all further liability under this Agreement except liability with respect to matters remaining unsatisfied which
arose during its period of ownership of the Parcel or portion thereof so conveyed.
c. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a gift or dedication of any portion
of the Parcels to the general public or for any public use or purpose whatsoever, it being the intention of BAT
and FUMC, and their successors and assigns that nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall confer
upon any person, other than BAT and FUMC, and their respective successors and assigns, any rights or remedies
under or by reason of this Agreement. No easements, except those expressly set forth herein shall be implied by
this Agreement.
d. If any provisions of this Agreement, or any portion thereof, or the application thereof to any
persons or circumstances, shall to any extent be held invalid, inoperative or unenforceable, the remainder of this
7
Doc# 2139754 Recorded: 08/06/2024 11:22 AM Page 8 of 25
Agreement, or the application of such provision or portion thereof to any other persons or circumstances, shall
not be affected thereby. It shall not be deemed that any such invalid provision affects the consideration for this
Agreement. Each provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
law.
e. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Alabama.
f. The Article headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, shall in no way define or
limit the scope of this Agreement, and shall not be considered in any construction or interpretation of this
Agreement or any part hereof.
g. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make the Parties partners or joint venturers or
render any Party liable for the debts of any other Party.
h. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective
successors and assigns.
i. This Agreement may only be amended, modified, or terminated by an agreement in writing,
executed and acknowledged by the undersigned Parties or their successors or assigns. Any such amendment,
modification or termination shall be recorded in the Office of the Judge of Probate of Baldwin County, Alabama.
j. In the event of any dispute concerning enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
k. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed
and delivered, shall constitute an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

b. The insurance policy(ies) required to be procured and maintained by BAT and FUMC and each
of its respective Contractors, as applicable, under this Agreement shall be issued by one or more responsible
insurance companies licensed to do business in the State of Alabama. BAT and FUMC, as applicable, shall be
named as an additional insured under all policies required pursuant to this Agreement and in all events such
insurance shall be primary to any liability insurance carried by such Party. All such policies shall contain the
following endorsements: (i) that such insurance may not be cancelled or amended except upon thirty (30) days'
prior written notice from the insurance company to the applicable Party, and (ii) that such Party shall be solely
responsible for the payment of all premiums under such policy, and that the non-procuring Party, shall not have
any obligation for the payment of any premiums under such policy. Each Party agrees to deliver to such other
Party, all certificates of insurance for all such policies of insurance prior to such Party first exercising its rights
hereunder, and at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the expiration of any such policy, such Party, shall deliver
to the other Party, as applicable, all certificates of insurance evidencing the renewal thereof. Should a Party fail
to provide the insurance coverages required herein (the "Failing Party"), then the other Party shall have the
right but not the obligation to procure such insurance and the Failing Party shall promptly reimburse the other
Party for any such amounts so expended; provided that nothing herein shall be interpreted as requiring the non-
procuring Party, to secure such insurance.
11. REMEDIES
a. If a Party defaults in the performance of any obligation under this Agreement (the "Defaulting
Party"), which default affects the Parcel of the other Party or any occupant thereof (the "Affected Party"), the
Affected Party shall provide written notice of such default to the Defaulting Party ("Notice of Default"), and if
6
Doc# 2139754 Recorded: 08/06/2024 11:22 AM Page 7 of 25
the Defaulting Party fails to cure the default within thirty (30) days ofreceipt of the Notice of Default (or if the
same cannot be reasonably cured within thirty (30) days, fails to commence said cure with the thirty (30) day
period and fails to proceed diligently to cure the same, or in the event of an emergency after such notice as is
practical under the circumstances), the Affected Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform
such obligation on behalf of the Defaulting Party. In such event, the Defaulting Party shall promptly reimburse
the Affected Party for any and all costs and/or expenses incurred by the Affected Party, together with interest
thereon from the date of outlay at the Default Rate. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to limit any other
remedy at law or in equity which non-defaulting party may have with respect to such default, including, without
limitation, a suit or suits for injunction, specific performance and damages.
b. Any action taken or document executed in violation of this Agreement shall be void and may
be set aside upon the petition of such Party. Any costs and expenses of any such proceeding (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees in a reasonable amount) shall be paid by the Defaulting Party.
c. No delay or omission of any Party in the exercise of any right accruing upon any default of any
other Party shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver thereof, and every such right may be exercised
at any time during the continuance of such default. A waiver by any Party of a breach of, or a default in, any of
the terms or conditions of this Agreement by any other Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of any
subsequent breach of or default under the same provision or any other provision of this Agreement. Except as
otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for in this Agreement shall be exclusive
but each shall be cumulative with all other remedies provided for herein or at law or in equity.
d. No breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle any Party to cancel, rescind or
otherwise terminate this Agreement, but such limitation shall not affect, in any manner, any other rights or
remedies which any Party may have hereunder by reason of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement.
12. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
a. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, this Agreement and the easements, rights,
obligations and liabilities created hereby shall be perpetual to the extent permitted by law. If, under applicable
law, any provision of this Agreement is limited to a lesser term, such lesser term shall automatically apply to
such provision but shall not affect the balance hereof.
b. Every agreement, declaration, covenant, promise, undertaking, condition, easement, right,
privilege, option and restriction made, declared, granted or assumed, as the case may be, in this Agreement shall
constitute an equitable servitude on the Parcel owned by such Party, and the benefits and burdens thereof shall
run with the title to the Parcels. Any transferee of any part of a Parcel shall automatically be deemed, by
acceptance of the title to any portion of such Parcel, to have assumed all obligations of this Agreement relating
thereto to the extent of its interest in its Parcel and to have agreed with the then owner or owners of all other
portions of the Parcels to execute any and all instruments and to do any and all things reasonably required to
carry out the intention of this Agreement. Upon the completion of such transfer, the transferor shall be relieved
of all further liability under this Agreement except liability with respect to matters remaining unsatisfied which
arose during its period of ownership of the Parcel or portion thereof so conveyed.
c. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a gift or dedication of any portion
of the Parcels to the general public or for any public use or purpose whatsoever, it being the intention of BAT
and FUMC, and their successors and assigns that nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall confer
upon any person, other than BAT and FUMC, and their respective successors and assigns, any rights or remedies
under or by reason of this Agreement. No easements, except those expressly set forth herein shall be implied by
this Agreement.
d. If any provisions of this Agreement, or any portion thereof, or the application thereof to any
persons or circumstances, shall to any extent be held invalid, inoperative or unenforceable, the remainder of this
7
Doc# 2139754 Recorded: 08/06/2024 11:22 AM Page 8 of 25
Agreement, or the application of such provision or portion thereof to any other persons or circumstances, shall
not be affected thereby. It shall not be deemed that any such invalid provision affects the consideration for this
Agreement. Each provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
law.
e. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Alabama.
f. The Article headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, shall in no way define or
limit the scope of this Agreement, and shall not be considered in any construction or interpretation of this
Agreement or any part hereof.
g. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make the Parties partners or joint venturers or
render any Party liable for the debts of any other Party.
h. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective
successors and assigns.
i. This Agreement may only be amended, modified, or terminated by an agreement in writing,
executed and acknowledged by the undersigned Parties or their successors or assigns. Any such amendment,
modification or termination shall be recorded in the Office of the Judge of Probate of Baldwin County, Alabama.
j. In the event of any dispute concerning enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
k. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed
and delivered, shall constitute an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

ZC 25.02 Hermitage Court PUD Modification – March 6, 2025
Summary of Request:
Authorized agent, SE Civil, LLC (Aaron Collins), on behalf of owner, FST and Blue Island Owner’s Association
requests a modification of the Hermitage Court PUD shown below and recorded as Slide 2812-C on December
13, 2021.
More specifically, Lot 7 (620 Hermitage Court), owned by FST and Will and Marlo Lowery, will gain more square
feet from a subdivision of PPIN: 226992, a R-1 zoned lot owned by Robert and Renee Taylor (“Taylor Lot”). The
Taylor Lot is not part of the Hermitage Court PUD. See below.
Taylor Lot
2
ZC 25.02 Hermitage Court PUD Modification – March 6, 2025
Comments:
The application is accompanied by a re-plat. The subdivision and purchase of part of the Taylor Lot is
scheduled for February 28, 2025. This staff report was prepared prior to the subdivision and purchase of the
Taylor Lot with the assumption of a successful closing prior to the date of the Planning Commission meeting.
If the purchase has not been executed prior to the March 6, 2025, Planning Commission meeting then this
staff report is moot.
Proposed Re-plat
There will not be any construction affiliated with the re-plat and modification of the Hermitage Court PUD.
There is a 15ft drainage easement at the rear of the current Lot 7. Accessory structures are permitted
according to Ordinance 1698 Hermitage Court PUD. Accessory structures in the PUD are per R-1
requirements for accessory structures.
The result of this amendment will add the area shown in purple below to Lot 7 of Hermitage Ct, which will
increase the zoning district boundary of the PUD known as Hermitage Court PUD.
