Summary
At its Feb. 23 meeting, the Montevallo City Council approved a conditional-use permit to build a duplex at 28 Evansville Circle, authorized a resolution to accept Salem Cemetery and $30,067.03 for perpetual care, and recorded a motion to accept a $24,757 developer performance bond for Ammersee Lakes Phase III.
Montevallo’s City Council on Feb. 23 approved a conditional use allowing a duplex at 28 Evansville Circle and authorized action to ensure perpetual care of the historic Salem Cemetery.
The council voted unanimously to adopt Resolution C25-001, accepting the Planning & Zoning Commission’s recommendation to permit property owner Aaron Hernandez to construct a two-unit duplex on an approximately 14,000-square-foot R-2 lot outside the Urban Core. Council Member David King moved the measure; Council Member Brandelyn Nelson seconded, and the minutes record the motion passed with all ayes. During the public hearing Aaron Hernandez confirmed a boundary survey had been completed and said he would communicate with neighbors; no one spoke in opposition.
Separately, the council authorized Resolution 02232026-725 to allow the mayor to negotiate and execute a memorandum of understanding with the Salem Cemetery Association and trustees to transfer certain real property known as Salem Cemetery and Salem Memory Chapel to the city and to accept $30,067.03 for perpetual care of the grounds and building. The full resolution text and certification are included in the meeting appendices; the certified resolution states the action was adopted at the Feb. 23 meeting.
The council also recorded a motion to accept a subdivision performance bond from AMAC Development Group, LLC in the amount of $24,757.00 for Ammersee Lakes Subdivision Phase III; the meeting minutes note the motion (moved by Council Member David King, seconded by Council Member Brandelyn Nelson) and reference the bond document in the appendices but do not record a roll-call vote in the meeting text for that specific item. Appendix materials show the surety instrument (Great Midwest Insurance Company) and a power-of-attorney authorizing the signature.
What happens next: the conditional-use approval is subject to the applicant completing all required building-permit steps and compliance with city regulations, per the Planning & Zoning findings. The cemetery resolution directs the mayor to proceed with negotiations and execute the necessary memorandum of understanding to effect transfer and perpetual-care funding. The minutes record a motion on the performance bond and include the bond instrument as Appendix 7; the minutes do not include a detailed recorded vote on that item.
