Council reviewed and discussed the agenda for their meeting to be held today at 6:00
p.m. Agenda Item Number 6: a Public Hearing to amend Zoning Ordinance No. 1253
and to approve the Zoning Map for the Colony at the Grand Tourism District.
Agenda Item Number 8: a resolution that the City of Fairhope accepts the grant award
for the Hazard Mitigation Grant (HMGP Project DR-4176-0006) for the acquisition and
demolition of 705 Cedar Avenue. Council President Burrell questioned why the City
went forward with this grant. Erik Cortinas explained that this home is the biggest
repetitive loss for FEMA; and the homeowners wanted to divert water on both sides of
their house by building a wall. The demolition of the home should help with drainage
issues for others. The acquisition is being funded through the available April 2014 storm
funds.
Trey Jinright stated he was hired under contract as Engineer for the City of Fairhope.
The engineering fees on the agenda tonight as Agenda Item Numbers 10 and 11 are well
under the going rate for Civil Engineering. Council President Burrell did question why
these fees were being presented after the fact.
There being no further business to come before the City Council, the meeting was
duly adjourned at 5:52 p.m.
