Little shops/stores/churches were very common throughout the little segments of Fairhope. All the zoning came about using the "village concept" which has never been implemented since inception, but approval for everything determined by the powers that be (taught well by their predecessors); depends upon how much one contributes to political campaign coffers and/or what someone's name is and who they are related to. <br />This physician's development should have taken place in the Medical Overlay District. In creating that district, people were left out of the process, (meetings rescheduled at last minute, rescheduled without notice, then WHAM!)Now their land/homes are pretty much tied up in an ugly knot, the people who live in that district around the Hospital cannot do anything with their land/property now unless it is related to the medical community. Yet, medical can go anywhere? Too bad for the folks in any overlay district. <br />Blog monitor will probably take this post down before anyone reads it, but people need to be aware of what can happen to them. Look at the recent changes from R1 homes to apartments related to a local PUD. Next will be the extension of Parker Road to Hwy. 13 (13 paved by taxpayer dollars with rationale of moving traffic, but development of properties was also a huge factor for the benefit of certain influential property owners). Excuse will be the fire dept. needs a better access out of the corner they are backed into now.

The majority of Fairhope residents are either ancient, telling everybody what to do or spoiled trust fund babies who spent the last 40 years drinking, smoking, and drugging wondering why they are losers in poor health. Maybe some decent people will move in with all this development and replace the dying tyrants and drug addicts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-38505802455502984502016-05-30T07:51:51.596-05:002016-05-30T07:51:51.596-05:00It's quite a sham, really.

Here's a quote from the mayor in a newsletter asking the public to come to the Comp Plan open houses:<br /><br />"As a community, we have worked hard for the Fairhope we live in today, and we should not take it for granted. We don’t want Greeno Road to look like Airport Blvd., so I encourage residents to share their thoughts pertaining to the growth in our city. It is imperative to have our citizens participate in these meetings, as they<br />will guide our growth decisions for the next twenty years."<br /><br />Sorry, here's one more.<br /><br />"Planning decisions in Fairhope aren’t based on what the Council wants or even what the Mayor wants: Decisions are based on what you—Fairhope residents—want to see for our future."<br /><br /> http://www.cofairhope.com/home/showdocument?id=5473<br /><br />Reading the City's entire summary of how the Comp Plan will be used is quite a sad lie. Why waste our time? Why waste the city's money? Why no explanation for the variance? What is their vision going forward?
