Joe Turner, 511 Mossy Oak Ridge, Prattville spoke in favor of this ordinance. Mr. Turner
explained that this parcel of property was partially included when Homeplace did their PUD
zoning, and it partially shows on some of the planning commission zoning maps as being
included in that zoning, however it was not included. The Parcel is located between Hwy 82
and McQueen Smith Road, around The Meadows apartment complex. The parcel goes from
the entrance in the back of The Meadows on McQueen Smith Road around to the front
entrance on Hwy 82. The rezoning request in this ordinance is essentially tying up the loose
ends.
Jon Lee Finnegan, 211 Deer Trace, spoke in opposition of this ordinance. Ms. Finnegan’s
concerns were rapid growth and heavy traffic in this area. Ms. Finnegan would like to see
more than two entrances/exits from this property onto the main roads surrounding the
property.
3. ORDINANCE: To Rezone Property Located at McQueen Smith Road South from FAR
(Forest, Agriculture, Recreation) to B-2 (General Business). (Petitioner: Bryan Ward)
(Sponsored By: Councilor Boone)
