New Apartments Planned For S. Greeno Road

Fairhope, Alabama 

Updated: The planning commission subsequently voted to recommend approval to the city council (3-1 vote). Height restricted to 35 feet.

18323 S. Greeno Rd.



CALLED 'LEGENDS AT POINT CLEAR'

During its September meeting, the planning commission will consider rezoning 13.27 acres on S. Greeno Road adjacent to the new 'Shops at Pt. Clear' (Publix) shopping center to allow for a 133-unit luxury apartment complex along with commercial mixed-use.

Owner/developer Steven W. Corbett (SCorUSA Llc.) has numerous similar projects around the southeast (click).

It’s high time to preserve our farmland and lock in zoning for ag use only. Farmers have every right to sell their land, as their forefathers did; for another farm.

Except this is not farm land. Zoned commercial already B2.

What makes you think the rents will be afforable? Better think again. Rents are at all times high across the country. This place will be no different. Similar to grocery chain gouging.

No problem. Fairhope has an infinite supply of water and sewage capacity.

"What's wrong with apartments?," you ask. 1) Density that diminishes the quality of life (traffic, crowding, see #3) for those who have invested far more than a year of rent; 2) Generally (not uniformly) diminished civic engagement and assimilation into the extant culture; 3) Disproportionate demands on infrastructure, utilities, emergency services, health care system, etc.; 4) Risk that the whole complex turns for the worse years hence and every well-documented harm associated with such turns; 5) Environmental stress; 6) and, more.

I see more broken down old cars and trash at single family homes than any apartment complex in Fairhope.

people can't afford the expensive houses so they get room mates to share rent. some time 3 or 4. it works well!

To the extent that this is true, those houses and that socio-economic cohort are vanishing, and better housing stock and a higher socio-economic cohort are supplanting them, along with superior property caretaking. Now, you can call this reality elitist, but that's merely an expression of emotion. We are entitled to our own feelings, but not our own facts. Apartments complexes often represent an invitation and regression to that first cohort, along with the well-documented sociological pathologies correlating therewith.

Higher density housing in walkable neighborhoods is more desirable than just more endless urban sprawl between Walmarts.

Thank you for telling us "your" feelings

If the property owner wants to build apartments there he should be allowed to do so. Private property rights! After all hero Donald Trump is a developer too.

Government is just a reflection of its citizenry: bumbling and clueless in equals bumbling and incompetent out.

Ah, yes- apartment buildings. Globalist agenda types just adore putting people into high density residential areas - they’re MUCH easier to control that way. Ask the people of Aurora, Colorado how much they like apartments right now. Venezuelan terror gangs definitely like them.

Except these are hard-core capitalist investors whose only interest is making money.

The worst and most dangerous neighbors I ever had were in the fruit and nut district including gangs. I remember when a swat team surrounded the log cabin house on Bayview and busted a major drug dealing gang. The apartment I’m in now has several old widowers who all feel safe living alone!

I saw a pulled over a Mercedes Benz once, and later found out that they had drugs in the car. I also know a pastor who drives a Chrysler 300. Therefore, I feel much safer in neighborhoods with Chrysler 300s cruising the streets at night than neighborhoods with Benzes parked in the driveways. Looks like we both love the fallacy of hasty generalization!

There are many places to rent or buy at present. When the city struggles to provide basic service then logic would say no more development until ready.

Not if there is impact to city, which is why we have a permit structure. As the city is you and me and our $.

"Growth is a good problem to have" according to one well-known local politician! Good for businesses.

I lived in Fairhope long before anyone wanted to move here and loved it!

“Logic” another subjective opinion stating I know better than you
Anonymous said…
Not exactly. Sound logic is tantamount to sound reason. Rather, it is the lazy fallacy that allows subjective opinion (feelings) to masquerade as fact. Which, it turn, allows for assuaging guilt and signaling virtue (e.g. through anecdotal evidence that constructs a fantasy in order to elevate "the other" and tear down "the elite").

Then let that well known Politician pay for it all. Better yet vote him out.
