I will never agree to be annexed. Tree hugging Fairhopian communists, their sign ordinances, protests of Walmart, and haughty attitudes need to grow up. Property rights as well as many other rights and privileges guaranteed by the State Constitution are a black and white issue. Inciting boycotts to negatively affect businesses in the area is detrimental to the local community. Grow up and learn some manners. Walmart and other businesses in the area employee and feed a lot of local families. How dare you. Grow up, you can't always get what you want. Growth and development is part of life. Learn to deal with it now because a lot more growth and development is coming to Fairhope. Stop attacking those of us in the community and redress the proper representatives.

The same people complain that are on this comment section about the city telling them you can't cut a tree down or build a fence on there property without proper permits. Also the biggest traffic problem you can have is a school, and that is why they built the traffic circle in daphne, to relieve the traffic. So a gas station is not going to hurt traffic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-21106222122525162272016-08-21T08:10:39.895-05:002016-08-21T08:10:39.895-05:00When people who want to build blights on the land ...When people who want to build blights on the land are faced with monetary loss, they may decide to become better citizens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-19158042663324591352016-08-21T08:09:13.039-05:002016-08-21T08:09:13.039-05:00The best way to effectively combat unwanted growth...The best way to effectively combat unwanted growth prior to proper zoning protections is unwanted publicity and a banding together by the community to boycott this station should it be built AND all the other stations operated by the owner.

Our reporters often have to rely on the veracity of oral ones expressed in person during private conversations -- but one thing we know is factual for sure: all statements attributed to government officials or others "in the loop" published here were indeed made by them. The Times makes an effort to be aggressive in its reporting rather than just sitting on stories until it is to late for any public good: We often do not name sources to protect them from possible repercussions by superiors. <br /><br />In this case, we believe our reporting has proved so far to be substantially accurate: A gas station was planned there for some time, city planning/building officials had no warning, and the proper land disturbance permit was not obtained. All of that came from the mayor himself or was discussed during a public work session.<br /><br />Current online county property records may not indicate that land ownership has changed, but that is not our fault: if they are not accurate the reasonable question would then become "why aren't they?"
