Episcopal Church Expansion Plan Ok'd

Fairhope, Alabama

New Campus Plan.


Current Section St. entrance.

 

SAINT JAMES EPISCOPAL

The Board of Adjustments gave approval for expansion of the church campus on R-4 zoned property at 860 N. Section. 

The three-phase project will add a new entrance on N. Section Street, more parking, as well as renovate older buildings -- and eventually construct a new multi-use one.

Churches are allowed on residential property but not by right, they need the BOA's approval first. A church school also operates on the property.

The new entrance will be south of the current one, further away from where the new roundabout is to be constructed.

A capital campaign fundraiser is now underway at the church.

Good idea to move their entrace away from the roundabout!

I respect the church and parishioners, but growth and traffic volumes have now made this a terrible location. Drivers will be going at a high rate of speed to get into the roundabout.
The expansion will increase traffic and impact surrounding neighborhoods.
It has reached the point where anything you add here has major impacts.

Where there's roads there are cars equals traffic I think we all know that. Where there H2O and cold there's snow, stay indoors if you want.
