Property zoned A-1 (Agriculture). PID# Part of 4200182000003000 in section 18/ Township 20/ Range 4 W. (Site address 7150 Lou George Loop, Bessemer, 35022)(45 Acres+/-)]
THE CASE NUMBER REAL QUICK. OKAY. SO SO THE CASE NUMBER IS Z 260014. AND COMMISSIONER MCMURRAY, GO AHEAD. I NEED TO RECUSE MYSELF FROM THIS CASE, PLEASE. ALL RIGHT. SO NOTED. 
          SECRETARY HAS THAT RIGHT. VERY GOOD. OKAY. SO THE APPLICANT IS MELODY HART. THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE 45 ACRES FROM A-1 AGRICULTURAL TO R-1 RESIDENTIAL AND A-1 ESTATE FOR PROPOSED 36 LOT RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION. 60 OF THOSE LOTS ARE PROPOSED FOR THE R-1 ZONING AND THREE FOR THE E TWO SORRY, THE E1 ZONING. CURRENT ZONING IS A1, AS I MENTIONED, AND THE ADDRESS FOR THIS PROPERTY IS 7150 LOU GEORGE LOOP AND BESSEMER. CONNIE, YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND PRESENT THE CASE, PLEASE? YES, SIR. THE ARE ONE LISTED. THE APPLICANT IS PRESENTING. 
          PROPOSING IS 75 BY 170FT■!S, WIH A MINIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE OF 12,500. THE PROPOSED ESTATE LOTS WOULD BE SUBJECT TO A RESTRICTION THAT THE COVENANT PROHIBITS FURTHER SUBDIVISION OF THE PROPERTY. THERE'S A PROPERTY APPROXIMATELY 3.1 ACRES, THE PART THAT'S ON CEMETERY THAT'S NOT A PART OF THE SUBDIVISION OR THE REZONING. THE PARCEL IS SURROUNDED BY THE A ONE ZONING DISTRICT. LET ME GO BACK HERE SURROUNDED BY A ONE ZONING DISTRICT WITH THE EXCEPTION, THERE IS A GARDEN HOME SUBDIVISION TIMBER LEAF RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET TO THE WEST. SEWER SERVICE IS AVAILABLE TO THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION. THE CONNECTION WOULD BE ACROSS LOU GEORGE LOOP ROAD NEAR 5500 TIMBERLEA TRAIL AND WILL REQUIRE A SEWER MAIN EXTENSION. THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT DENSITY IS 1.4 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE, WHICH IS LESS THAN THE R-1 ZONE DISTRICT ZONING OF 3.01 MAXIMUM REQUIREMENT, PER THE TRAFFIC STUDY SUBMITTED. ALL INTERSECTIONS OPERATED WITH ACCEPTABLE LEVELS OF SERVICE AND DELAY DURING PEAK PERIODS UNDER THE FUTURE 2028 TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. THE PROPOSED REZONING TO A1 AND A2 IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF ESTATE RESIDENTIAL. STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS WITH ONE CONDITION, AND THAT CONDITION IS THAT THE DENSITY DOES NOT EXCEED THE 1.4 UNITS PER ACRE. THAT'S ALL I HAVE, SIR. OKAY. THANK YOU, TONY, AND I WILL NOTE THAT WE RECEIVED A COUPLE OF CORRESPONDENCE IN OPPOSITION TO THIS, AND WE'VE ALREADY REVIEWED THOSE TODAY. SO NOW I'LL CALL FOR ANY OPPOSITION TO THIS REZONING CASE. ANYBODY HAVE. SO LET ME FINISH MY. HANG ON. LET ME FINISH MY SENTENCE. DID I GOT YOU. SO JUST MAKE SURE YOU'RE CLEAR. SO IF THERE'S ANYBODY HERE IN OPPOSITION OF THIS REZONING CASE. I'D LIKE YOU TO LET ME, YOU KNOW, LET ME RECOGNIZE YOU. RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU WANT TO COME UP. SO THIS GENTLEMAN RAISED HIS HAND. 
          FIRST. HE'S GOING TO COME UP AND TELL US HIS NAME AND ADDRESS. AND THEN WHAT HIS COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ARE, PLEASE. OKAY. YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB, BY THE WAY. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS PHIL TYPEKIT. I LIVE AT 7536 LOU DRIVE IN MCCALL, ALABAMA, AND I REALLY DON'T HAVE AN OPPOSITION TO THIS NECESSARILY, BUT MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE IS STILL A VERY NARROW ROAD. LOU GEORGE LOOP ROAD IS STILL VERY NARROW AND WE'RE WE HAVE ONCE AGAIN, THERE IS A SUBDIVISION PROPOSED FOR THIS THAT'S ADDING MORE HOUSES. ESTIMATE BY THE TRAFFIC NATIONAL TRAFFIC SAFETY BOARD IS THAT EVERY HOUSE IS 2.1 CARS OR WHATEVER. SO THAT WILL ADD EVEN MORE CARS TO THIS ROAD. AND I JUST ALWAYS WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE TO TO EMPHASIZE THAT WE NEED ROAD IMPROVEMENTS OUT HERE IN THIS AREA, ESPECIALLY NEAR THE NEW HOSPITAL, WHICH IS, IS AND I DO HAVE ONE OTHER QUESTION, IF YOU WILL ALLOW ME TO ASK THE QUESTION. I SPOKE AGAINST THIS BACK WHEN IT WAS A DIFFERENT PROPOSAL THAT HAD MUCH MORE HOUSES ON IT, AND I USED MY OPPOSITION A SECTION, ARTICLE THREE, WHICH IS CALLED PURPOSE IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF JEFFERSON COUNTY. IT'S NOW BEEN CHANGED, AND THERE ARE THREE SENTENCES. EVEN THOUGH IT'S A REALLY LONG SECTION, THIS THIS ONLY HAS THREE SENTENCES IN THIS ENTIRE 
          [00:20:05]
ARTICLE. AND THE PART THAT I WAS USING FOR REFERENCE EARLIER DEALT WITH, DESIGNED A REGULATION DESIGNED TO LESSEN CONGESTION ON THE STREETS. AND THAT WAS REMOVED IN 2025. THAT ENTIRE SENTENCE WAS REMOVED FROM THIS. AND MY QUESTION VERY SIMPLY IS THAT ARE ALL THE ITEMS THAT WERE MENTIONED IN THAT SENTENCE NO LONGER APPLICABLE TO ZONING? WAS THAT YOUR INTENTION WHEN Y'ALL. BECAUSE IT HAD TO GO THROUGH YOU FIRST. SO I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF, IF THAT WAS YOUR INTENTION TO REMOVE ALL OF THE ITEMS LISTED IN THE SECOND SENTENCE OF PURPOSE FROM THE ZONING ORDINANCE, AND NO LONGER MAKE THAT PART OF IF YOU WANT TO SAY REQUIREMENTS, YOU CAN OF ZONING ORDINANCE. MY, MY CONCERN STILL IS CONGESTION ON THE STREETS OUT THERE, AND I HOPE THAT EVENTUALLY WE'VE GOT A PROJECT GOING RIGHT NOW IN EASTERN VALLEY ROAD TO WIDEN A BRIDGE. AND THERE CONTINUES TO BE A LOT OF WRECKS OUT THERE BECAUSE OF THE NARROW ROAD. THAT'S IT. BUT DO YOU WAS YOUR I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE I WASN'T. 
          SO I GOT I GOT YOUR YOUR TWO POINTS, THE, THE ROAD CONDITIONS AND THE, THE ROAD, THE ROAD WIDTH. BECAUSE THERE'S NO, NOT ONLY IS THE ROAD LESS THAN 20FT WIDE, IT ALSO HAS NO SHOULDERS. SO AS A PEOPLE IN THE DEPARTMENT SAID, YOU EITHER GOT ROAD OR DITCH. OKAY, SO I GOT THAT ONE. AND THEN YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE CHANGES TO THE ZONING. JUST IF THE ITEMS IN THE SECOND SENTENCE, AGAIN, THERE'S THREE SENTENCES THERE. I'LL JUST RESTATING WHAT YOU SAID. RIGHT. SO YOU AGREE THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT, RIGHT? YES, SIR. 
          OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO I'LL GET I'LL ADDRESS BOTH OF THOSE IN JUST A MOMENT. WE'LL SEE IF THERE'S ANYBODY ELSE THAT HAS ANY QUESTIONS. SO. LADIES IN THE BACK, DID Y'ALL HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO HOW ABOUT Y'ALL? ARE Y'ALL APPLICANTS? YES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO I'M GONNA LET THE STAFF BACK ME UP OR CORRECT ME AS I GO TO ADDRESS THE GENTLEMAN'S QUESTION. SO AS WITH ANY CASE THAT WE HAVE, WHEN IT'S CONSIDERED, THERE'LL BE A TRAFFIC STUDY DONE AND IT'LL BE EVALUATED. AND ANY ROAD CONDITIONS THAT ARE UNSATISFACTORY, BE IT NO SHOULDER OR NO ROAD THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED IN THE TRAFFIC STUDY AND IF RECOMMENDED, RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE STUDY INCLUDE THOSE, THEN THAT'LL BE PART OF THE CONDITIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT. SO. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. ALL RIGHT. AND AS FAR AS THE ZONING ORDINANCE GO, JOSH, CAN I PUT YOU ON THE SPOT FOR THAT ONE? SO I THINK HIS QUESTION WAS RELATED TO THE PREAMBLE SECTION WE HAD. AND MICHAEL AND I LOOKED AT THAT WHEN WE WERE UPDATING THE LAST ITERATION OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE UPDATE. I THINK WE JUST KIND OF CLEANED UP SOME VAGUE LANGUAGE THAT MAYBE DIDN'T MIRROR WHAT WAS IN OUR STATE ENABLING LEGISLATION. I THINK SOME THINGS ABOUT GOOD MORALS. AND, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE SOME. YEAH, YEAH, NOT TO CORRECT YOU, BUT THAT'S THAT'S NO IN THERE. YEAH. OKAY. HANG ON. EVERYBODY TALK TO ME. OKAY. YOU DON'T TALK TO HIM, HE'S GONNA TALK TO YOU. SO JUST LET ME KEEP A LITTLE BIT OF. MICHAEL, I RECOGNIZE YOU. YEAH. 
          WE ALSO INTRODUCED SEVERAL NEW ZONING DISTRICTS, ALL OF WHICH ARE GEARED TOWARDS ENCOURAGING DENSITY AND DEVELOPMENTS IN THAT PARTICULAR. YEAH, YEAH, SOMEWHAT CONFLICTS WITH THOSE WITH THE INTENT OF THOSE PARTICULAR. SO IT SOUNDS LIKE WE ALIGNED THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO, WITH THE LEGISLATION. YES. SO OKAY. YEAH. IF HIS IF I MAY HAVE MISSED THAT PART, BUT IF HE WAS REFERRING TO THE SECTION THAT TALKED ABOUT LOWER DENSITY DEVELOPMENT AND, YOU KNOW, ORDERLY, SPARSE DEVELOPMENT, THINGS LIKE THAT, WE THOUGHT THAT THERE COULD BE SOME THAT LANGUAGE COULD BE MISCONSTRUED WITH WHAT WE WERE PUTTING IN ORDINANCE ELSEWHERE. YES, SIR. 
          YEAH. SO, SO I THINK THE THE ANSWER TO THAT IS THAT IT WAS TAKEN OUT BECAUSE IT WAS POTENTIALLY CONFLICTING WITH THE ORDINANCE ITSELF AND THE SPECIFICS FOR THE DIFFERENT ZONING CLASSIFICATIONS. SO MAINLY THE MIDDLE DENSITY HOUSING, YES, OPTIONS THAT WE ADDED IN THE ORDINANCE. SO WE WANT TO MAKE MAKE IT CLEAR. SO THAT WAS REMOVED AND THE ZONING CLASSIFICATIONS ADDRESSED THAT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I DON'T THINK I HEARD ANY OTHER. OBJECTIONS OR OPPOSITION TO THE REZONING CASE. I'LL JUST ASK ONE MORE TIME. OKAY. THE APPLICANTS Y'ALL ARE HERE. ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD OTHER THAN WE HAVE A TRAFFIC STUDY THAT I KNOW WELL, SO, OKAY, WE'RE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE 
          [00:25:05]
COMMISSIONERS FOR THE APPLICANT? ALL RIGHT. HEARING NONE, MAY I HAVE A MOTION, MR. CHAIRMAN? I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. APPROVE Z26-0014 WITH THE FOLLOWING STIPULATION THAT THE DENSITY DOES NOT EXCEED 1.4 UNITS PER ACRE. SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION. A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE. AYE. ANYO
