The City Council, City of Fairhope, met in regular session
at 5:30, p.m.; Fairhope Municipal Complex Council Chamber;
161 North Section Street; Fairhope, Alabama 36532; on
Monday, 9 February 1987.
Present were James P. Nix; Councilmembers Roy C. White,
Jeanette Puckett, David E. Bishop, Michael A. Ford, and
Barney L. Shull; City Attorney James Reid and City Clerk
Evelyn Phillips. No one was absent.
There being a quorum present, Mayor Nix called the
meeting to order. Minutes of the 26 January 1987 regular
session were duly approved.
Mayor Nix reopened the public hearing, continued from the
12 January 1987 regular session, on rezoning requests by
Vernon Bodden and Tom Brown. The Planning & Zoning Commission
recommendation on Mr. Brown's request was to approve the re-
zoning from R1 to B4 with two provisions: (1) a 40-foot
right-of-way reserve, and (2) ingress and egress to be on
Estelle Drive only. No one present spoke in favor of or in
opposition to this rezoning. Councilman Bishop introduced
an Ordinance to rezone as requested. This ordinance will
be considered for final adoption at the next regular Council
session. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommendation
on Mr. Bodden's request was for denial. Mr. and Mrs. Bodden
were present and asked the Council to rezone their property
as requested. No one present spoke in opposition. After
discussion, the request was denied due to lack of action by
any councilmember. Mr. Bodden asked if the Council would send
a request to the Planning & Zoning Commission to allow him
to reapply for rezoning under the 12-month rule with the
beginning date of July (he thought), 1986, instead of from
this date, since action had been delayed for an extended time.
Mayor Nix advised that Council could not take such an action
since the Planning $ Zoning Commission would be the proper
party for Mr. Bodden to present -his request and their rules
and regulations would determine their reply. Mr. Bodden asked
that his request be entered in the minutes of this meeting.
Council reviewed a proposal by the Eastern Shore Chamber
of Commerce for the funding of an Economic Development Project.
After some discussion, Councilman White introduced, and moved
for the adoption of, the following resolution. Seconded by
Councilwoman Puckett, motion passed unanimously:
