ANALYSIS/EVALUATION:
Note that this Special Exception request is accompanied by a variance request application (240409-01). The Special
Exception request includes two, adjacent locations: 1091 Country Club Commercial Park Drive (Location 1 on below map)
and 1090 Country Club Commercial Park Drive (Location 2 on below map).
Dismukes Special Exception Page 4 of 8
Also note, this Special Exception request is only to allow the proposed use (RV Park) at this location. If approved, the
applicant must still submit to the Planning Department a complete site plan and other applicable plans that comply with the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance (e.g. lighting plan, waste containers, sanitation facilities, access drives, etc) and other
applicable ordinances and regulations (unless a variance is approved).
Location 1
This site is approximately 3.01 acres, which meets the minimum tract size of 3 acres. It also meets the minimum street
frontage of 100ft and has adequate space to accommodate the required setbacks, parking, and open space recreation area.
The site has an existing structure that the applicant states may be used to provide the required sanitation facilities, showers,
and washer/dryer (the accompanying variance application includes a request to remove the shower facility requirement).
This site has approximately 550ft of frontage along Country Club Commercial Park Drive and 320ft of frontage along Hwy
14, which sees more than 8,000 cars per day.
The property to the west has a variety of retail uses and a restaurant; to the east is a gas station/convenience store. To the
south (across Hwy 14) is Fras-Le North America.
Location 2
The accompanying variance application includes a request to waive the minimum requirements noted below.
This site is approximately 2 acres, which does not meet the required minimum tract size of 3 acres. It has approximately
240ft of frontage along Country Club Commercial Park Drive which meets the required minimum street frontage of 100ft.
There are no existing structures on site.
Section 7.17.01 (7) (a) states that “All RV spaces and all parking, sanitary, recreation and other common facilities must be
accessed from an internal vehicular drive designed to accommodate recreational vehicles.” Location 2 does not meet this
requirement unless a facility is built. The applicant is requesting (part of the variance application) to utilize Location 1 for
the required common facilities, and Location 1 cannot be accessed by an internal vehicular drive (they are separated by a
public street).
The Board may consider the Special Exception request for Location 1, Location 2, or both together (again noting that if the
request is granted, all other requirements of the zoning ordinance must be met unless a variance is granted).
If the Board wishes to consider granting this Special Exception, a suggested condition on the approval (per § 12.03.05)
would be to require frontage (§ 10.04.03) and perimeter (§ 10.04.05) landscaping as found in the zoning ordinance (buffer
landscaping is already required for campgrounds), and/or a fence as found in § 10.05. Location 1 is highly visible with
320ft of frontage along a heavily traveled state highway. Adequate landscaping with fencing would provide screening into
the proposed use from public views, as well some mitigation of highway and traffic noise into the proposed campground/RV
Park.
The Board should determine if this proposed use is contrary to the public interest and/or if it may cause a substantial adverse
impact on the properties or improvements in the vicinity.

Certainly. I plan to be at the meeting on Tuesday and will be glad to speak regarding the detrimentalimpact of an RV Park at 1090 Country Club Drive.
We want to be good neighbors, but don’t want to see a use that would detrimentally impact the surroundingproperties and businesses.
Please see an outline of concerns and negative impacts below;
1.Unaesthetic and cluttered properties lower surrounding property values which will negatively impact
in the following ways;
a.Deters customers, resulting in negative sales for Dollar General and surrounding business.
b.Severely affects and limits the ability to bring more businesses, such as retail, restaurant and
office users, to this area.
2.Cluttered properties will cause visibility issues blocking traffic and access from Hwy. 14 and Stewart
Street.
This area is growing rapidly and has great potential for better users such as; fast casual dining, retail,commercial, office, and service oriented businesses. We’re working diligently to bring more of these typebusinesses to Pratt Corners and the surrounding area.

Mr Stephens, We were made aware of a re-zoning request that will negatively impact the surrounding propertiesand businesses. We look forward to Central States Bus Sales thriving in Prattville and want toexpress our opposition to the rezoning of the property adjacent and behind Pratt Corners for the RVPark. We chose the city of Prattville due to the positive economic development that exists and feelthis rezoning would not follow suit in a positive manner.
Please let me know if there’s anything else you might need from me to formally submit for
opposition at the upcoming meetings.
Thank you,

Mr. Stephens:
Please understand that I certainly represent the viewpoint of multiple neighbors in the Hearthstone subdivision inPrattville when we state it is not appropriate to build an RV park behind the dollar general off of hwy 14 and 82bypass.
I am sure we will be well represented at the BZA meeting on Tuesday, 4/23/2024 .
Look forward to seeing you there and thanks for your attention to this matter.

Mr. Stephens,
Please vote no for the rezoning behind Dollar General on RV Park! This
would not be a good choice for property owners on that side of town or

I would like to voice my concern with the rezoning of the area near the 82/14 intersection in Prattville. I am unable
to attend the meeting tomorrow because it conflicts with my work hours. The area around 82/14 is prime location for
business and should be used as such. Rezoning for a RV/mobile home park could distract potential businesses in that
area. There are already at least 3 RV/mobile home parks within a 10 mile radius near this area. Please do not vote to
rezoning this area for a RV/mobile home park.
Thank you!

Good morning Mr. Stephens, it has been brought to our attention that a re-zoning meeting is scheduled
for Tuesday to discuss allowing an RV park to be developed on County Club Dr. As a business that we
feel will be negatively impacted by this move, Lyle Machinery DBA Bobcat of Montgomery would like
to go on the record as being against rezoning for this option. We believe the area would benefit from a
more productive use of the property. If you would like to discuss further, please feel free to reach out at

Mr. Stephens,It is our understanding that a petition to rezone the area behind Dollar General on Hwy14 and along Hwy 82 for aRV/Trailer park will be discussed/voted on at the meeting tomorrow. We live in Hearthstone Estates and encourageyou to not let this rezoning pass. We are all for growth but we do not feel a RV park would be beneficial to the areabut would discourage business expansion in the area. We need growth that would not lower our property value. Wewould also be concerned about such an establishment being developed with a bank next door.We will not be able to attend the meeting tomorrow but hope this email will be read and considered.

Hello Mr. Stephens,
My name is Jon Pridgen and I live at 908 Fireside Drive in Hearthstone Estates off Highway 82 and I
am opposed to the rezoning of the property behind Pratt Corners Shopping Center for use as an RV
park or trailer park. Allowing this to happen will only stifle the business growth of this corridor and
dramatically lower property values of nearby neighborhoods including my neighborhood. In addition
it would increase traffic coming onto already busy highway 82. There are numerous trailer parks
already on 14 and 82 that are not well maintained and my neighbors and I do not wish to have
another one across from our community.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Mr. Stephens,
I am a homeowner on Red Eagle Road, Prattville.
I understand there is a zoning hearing including a proposal which would allow for an RV / Trailer park
in the vicinity of the Dollar General at Pratt Corners. I am writing to express opposition to this
proposal. Developments such as the Hearthstone and Wynfield subdivisions are much better targets
as they will enhance the tax base and make the area more attractive for continued investment by
businesses and homeowners.
Thank you for your time.

ZONING ORDINANCE REFERENCED
§12.04 Variances
§12.04.01. The Board may authorize upon appeal in specific cases such variances from the terms of this Ordinance as will
not be contrary to the public interest, where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the
provisions of this Ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship, and so that the spirit of the ordinance is
observed and substantial justice done.
§12.04.02. A variance may be granted in such individual cases upon a finding by the Board that an unnecessary hardship
does, in fact, exist. In no case may the Board grant a variance that permits the land or structure to be occupied
by a use prohibited in the applicable zoning district.
§12.04.03. It is the intent of this Ordinance that a variance be issued only to mitigate a physical condition of a parcel of
land which poses a practical barrier to its development and use as otherwise permitted by this Ordinance.
Variances are limited to the minimum adjustment necessary to enable the reasonable use of the land.
§12.04.04 The Board uses the following guidelines in evaluating variance requests:
Dismukes Variance Page 2 of 4
1. Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and
which are generally not applicable to other lands structures, or buildings in the same district.
2. A literal interpretation of the ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other
properties in the same district under the terms of the ordinance.
3. The special conditions, for which relief is sought, did not result from actions of the applicant (self-imposed
hardship);
4. Granting of the variance is in harmony with the intent and purposes of the ordinance;
5. The variance will not adversely affect surrounding property, the general neighborhood, or the community as a
whole;
6. The variance will not allow the establishment of any use expressly or by implication prohibited in the
applicable district;
7. The variance requested is the minimum adjustment necessary to enable the legal use of the land or structure.
§7.17 Recreational Vehicle Parks and Campgrounds
§7.17.01 RV Park and Campground Standards
1. Minimum tract size: Three acres
2. Minimum street frontage: 100 ft.
3. No structures, camp sites or RV spaces may encroach into the following minimum setbacks:
a. Front yard: 35 ft
b. Side yard: 30 ft
c. Rear yard: 35 ft
4. Parking. At least one parking space must be provided for each camp site plus one parking space per employee. Parking
spaces are not required to be paved but must be graded and surfaced as approved by the Director.
5. Minimum open space recreation area. At least 5,000 sf for the first 20 RV spaces plus 150 sf for each additional RV
space.
6. Lighting. All vehicular drives, common areas and walkways providing access to restrooms, campground office and
other common facilities must be adequately lighted for vehicular and pedestrian traffic safety.
Lighting must be arranged and designed to minimize illuminating individual RV spaces and camp sites.
7. Access
a. All RV spaces and all parking, sanitary, recreation and other common facilities must be accessed from an
internal vehicular drive designed to accommodate recreational vehicles.
b. All such vehicular drives must be maintained by the park owner or operator and open for access at all times to
emergency vehicles.
c. Vehicular drives must be surfaced with asphalt, crushed rock or other suitable, dustless material approved by the
Director. Vehicular drives must be at least 12 ft wide for one-way traffic and 22 foot wide for two-way traffic. Parallel
parking along the vehicular drive requires at least ten feet in additional width.
8. Sanitation
a. The following facilities must be provided, at a minimum, for the exclusive use of park occupants: two toilets and
lavatories for each 15 camp sites and RV spaces or fraction thereof not provided with a water connection, two
shower facilities and a washer and dryer.
Dismukes Variance Page 3 of 4
b. If any RV spaces are not provided with drain inlets to receive discharge of toilets, dump stations, built to code and
designed to receive the discharge of sewage holding tanks of self-contained vehicles must be provided in an accessible
location. Such stations must be separated from all camp sites and RV spaces by at least 100 ft.
c. Two-cubic yard or larger waste containers must be located within 300 ft of every RV space, but no closer than 100 ft.
Alternatively, the Director may approve the use of individual waste containers for each RV space provided the park
operator provides for regular waste pickup from RV spaces.
d. Dump stations and two-cubic yard and larger waste containers may not be closer than 30 ft to any property line and
must be screened in accordance with §10.03 Screening.
ANALYSIS/EVALUATION:
Note that this variance request is accompanied by a Special Exception application (240312-04). The proposed use of a
campground/RV Park is only permitted through Special Exception in a B-2 zone. The request includes two, adjacent
locations: 1091 Country Club Commercial Park Drive (Location 1 on below map) and 1090 Country Club Commercial Park
Drive (Location 2 on below map). If the Special Exception is approved, the applicant must still submit to the Planning
Department a complete site plan and other applicable plans that comply with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance (e.g.
lighting plan, waste containers, sanitation facilities, access drives, etc) and other applicable ordinances and regulations
(unless a variance is approved).
Location 1
The site has an existing structure that the applicant states may be used to provide the required sanitation facilities, showers,
and washer/dryer. The applicant is requesting a variance to waive the requirement of the required shower facility. See
attached application information for applicant’s request and reasoning.
Location 2
This site is approximately 2 acres, which does not meet the required minimum tract size of 3 acres. The variance request is
to allow the RV park without meeting the required tract size.
Section 7.17.01 (7) (a) states that “All RV spaces and all parking, sanitary, recreation and other common facilities must be
accessed from an internal vehicular drive designed to accommodate recreational vehicles.” Location 2 does not meet this
requirement unless a facility is built. The applicant is requesting a variance to waive this requirement and utilize Location
1 for the required common facilities, and Location 1 cannot be accessed by an internal vehicular drive (they are separated
by a public street).
See Special Exception staff report (240312-04) for more information and pictures.
