Legal counsel: settlement entered for Saint Ignatius Cemetery; injunction hearing set for next Friday
Summary
Legal counsel told the Mobile City Board of Adjustment that a settlement involving Saint Ignatius Cemetery and a church resulted in a final order entered about three weeks ago, and a hearing on a permanent injunction related to a Government Street car lot is scheduled for the coming Friday.
Legal counsel briefed the Mobile City Board of Adjustment on April 6 that a settlement tied to Saint Ignatius Cemetery and a church had produced a final order entered by the court about three weeks ago and that a hearing on a permanent injunction concerning an adjacent Government Street car lot is scheduled for next Friday.
"The Saint Ignatius Cemetery appeal, the church and the Africa town community came to a settlement ... That final order was entered by the judge three weeks ago ... hearing is a week from this Friday on the permanent injunction," counsel said during the board’s other-business segment. The counsel did not provide additional details about the terms of the settlement in the hearing record.
Board members asked whether other cases remain open; counsel responded he did not recall other open matters. A board member also asked why an event-venue application for the Dolphin Street property had been filed while the appeal and settlement discussions were ongoing; counsel said the board would have to ask the applicants for that explanation.
Next steps: the transcript records a court hearing set for next Friday on the permanent injunction; the board and staff will await the court action before the board acts further on the related Dolphin Street application.
