Absent: Councilman Barney L. Shull. A quorum being present, Mayor Nix called the meeting to order. Minutes of the 26 March 1984 regular session were duly approved. A public hearing was held on the rezoning request by Baldwin County Savings & Loan Association for changing from R2 Resi- dential to B4 Business & Professional the property owned by them on the corner of Greeno Road and Morphy Avenue. Councilman White reported that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommends approval of the request. No one present was opposed. Councilman White introduced the required ordinance which will lay over to the next regular session. Mr. Morrow of Danny's Fried Chicken requested permission by letter to place traffic safety signs around town which would have the Company name beneath the safety message. In discussion, the Council felt this was a good idea however other companies might also wish to place such advertising and, since the City already provides such signs, it might be best not to establish a policy of this type. Councilman Bishop moved to deny the request. Seconded by Councilman White, motion passed unanimously. Mr. Francis Uteg again presented a Declaration of Vacation on an alley running east from Satsuma Avenue to Kumquat Avenue between Pier and Pecan Streets." The abutting property owners list, however, was again questioned because several of the Councilmembers felt a property owner's name was missing and, if so, one lot would be land -locked by the vacation of the alley. Councilman Ford moved to table the request until the question can be resolved. Seconded by Councilman Bishop, motion passed unanimously.
