BOUNDARY ISSUE HISTORY

After plans for enhancements stalled, signs were posted by the city last week delineating the boundaries/park rules of a little-known city park at the far west end of White Avenue on Mobile Bay. 

According to president Lee Turner, the Single Tax Corporation's board of directors failed to move ahead to authorize financing for a new landscaping plan developed by GDSI Landscaping (Garden Design Solutions) for the park, due to its high cost ($500K) and ongoing issues with adjacent neighbors (Warhurst, Nix). 

The city was to provide $100K of that, mostly for utility-relocation.

Entrance arches and "bollards and chains" along property lines were to be included in the enhancements, according to plans provided by park proponent Jessie Patterson, a FSTC member.

A lawsuit by one neighbor concerning related issues was settled by the supreme court about ten years ago (click).

Patterson told the city council Monday more meetings were being planned.

Cost is way to much.

I'd be uncooperative too if people constantly parked in front of my mailbox, blocked my driveway, cut across my lawn, etc.

Put up the fences on property lines then.

Park was there way before the “Property owner$” were. Let them deal with it. They have the cash to put up fences on their property

They are awful rude neighbors. It’s sad that the city allows it’s self to be bullied by them. Especially from the lawyer whom has criminal charges on bullying.

Not called the fruit and nut district for nothing.
