Commission recommends PUD amendment to enlarge a residential lot at Hermitage Court
Summary
The commission recommended city council approval of a PUD amendment that allows a property owner to purchase and add adjoining land to enlarge a backyard; staff described the change as administrative and the owner has already closed on the purchase.
The Fairhope City Planning Commission on March 6 recommended city council approval of CZ 25.02, an amendment to the Hermitage Court planned unit development that will allow one lot owner to add adjoining land to enlarge a backyard.
Staff described the amendment as narrowly tailored: no new lots, no new homes, no changes to traffic or drainage are proposed. Because the property is in a PUD, the zoning document must be amended before an administrative replat can be recorded. Staff said the amendment requires signatures from all PUD property owners and that the city will require a recorded replat after the zoning amendment.
Applicant Aaron Collins of S.E. Civil told the commission the client had already closed on the land the prior Friday and the amendment will clear the way for a replat to adjust lot boundaries. The amendment includes two standard conditions: verify closing and ensure bound copies of the revised master development plan are completed and recorded along with the replat.
Commissioners characterized the change as a paperwork step to reflect an existing purchase; the commission voted unanimously to recommend approval to city council.
