Fairhope, Alabama
PARTIAL HEDGE INSTALLED
After hearing proposals from various Committee members, including city Horticulturist Fidler, the Knoll Park Restoration Committee decided to plant a limited hedge of holly plants on the northwest side of the park to provide some screening of the project for adjacent homeowners. Fidler had proposed a more extensive natural-looking hedge all the way around the property (click).
Some nearby homeowners had been complaining about the unkempt look of the property and Councilman Ford had worried about how it appeared to visitors to the city.
The city -- in conjunction with the Single Tax Corporation -- is attempting to restore the long leaf pine forrest habitat there.
MAYOR STILL WANTS MAINTENANCE PLAN
Mayor Kant told the Times his main concern is still a continuing maintenance plan, including controlled burns, for the property. Kant has said he gets complaints about the smoke every time the burns are conducted by the committee, to simulate natural conditions and stimulate native plant growth.
