FRIENDS OF FLY CREEK

Here we go again Fauxhope discussing the same project with the same results for over 12 years. Fly Creek has been flooded with mud and sediment since the Publix project clear cut and killed every living thing on the Publix site. An executive for Publix once commented that “the developer dug a hole to fit the strip center and Publix in.”

The developer Author Corti is the major contributor to the Mayor and council and they have given him anything he wants, even during a moratorium on new construction.

The Ripp Report has been reporting on the abuses of the developer for over 12 years. Instead of rewriting everything we are just going to give you some of the posts:

FAUXHOPE - KNOW THE BACKSTORY

“The developer will do whatever the hell he wants, without any accountability” THIS IS THE BACKSTORY TO GENERIC REPORTING: The culvert issue was first addressed by the Ripp Report and lawsuits filed against the city over the Publix project on Parker Road. The culverts, sewer lines, wetlands issues, drainage, proximity to Fly Creek ,county right a ways, city easements, tree survey missing, were just a few issues—Fauxhope did nothing—then allowed the apartments– same issues same no action—Now they are expanding building again behind apartments, the developer is given a green flag.

The developer, Arthur Corti pulled a quick one on the Fairhope community and the council and Mayor Kant orchestrated it into a gift for the community. This little stunt transferred any liability associated with the developer to the city.

RE-GIFT GIFT ??

ATTENTION FAIRHOPE TAXPAYERS. Fly Creek PUD Amendment & the Deed to the City of the Most Sensitive 4 Acres. Mitsy, email to all council members and Mayor Wilson would greatly benefit the City. It concerns the importance and impact of the Deed of Gift from Corte to the City of the lowest 4 acres between the retention pond outfall pipe and Fly Creek.

The gift that keeps on giving.

If Jack Burrell lips are moving he is lying and the last thing he wants is public participation where complaints about fly creek keep coming up. Burrell once explained that the mud and silt in Fly Creek was being forced in by the Bay. Fauxhope where water runs upstream!

After Publix came the apartments and the same opposition was ignored by council and Mayor. Built along Fly Creek these apartments were supposed to be luxury and a complex that would be a signature property. Within two years they sold the property and it suffered two occasions where flooding caused damage to the creek and apartments.

LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE

The Fly Creek apartments, aka, Fairhope Village Apartments at Publix was one of the most blatant acts of corruption in Fairhope. Over 5 lawsuits, resulting from polluting Fly Creek, drainage issues and multiple violations, has cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many public meetings were held some with attendance of 250 to 300 people opposing the project being built on the banks of fly Creek. It was one of the reasons Tim Can’t lost his re-election bid and the council was exposed for back door meetings with developers.

The 230-unit Retreat at Fairhope Village has been a source of contention for years in the city, where residents are concerned about aesthetics and traffic from such a large development and previous work adjacent to the site spurred similar lawsuits. Some believe Mayor Karin Wilson’s opposition to the project led to her victory over four-term incumbent Tim Kant.

About every 5 years we dredge out Fly Creek basin and yacht club. Millions spent on dredging out CONSTRUCTION runoff. Same developer, same issue, same result, NOTHING. DNA of the sediment in the creek is identified as coming from the Publix-Apartments. Still the city sits on its hands with its fingers in their ears.

Please take a trip up Parker road behind publix past the fire station and see the latest development the council and mayor again approved despite the lawsuits and continuous damage to the creek. You do not need a college degree to figure out that the drainage from this new cluster F goes down hill into the creek. How damn dumb are we or how corrupt is Fauxhope?

Friends of Fly Creek do not waste your time with ADEM, Baykeepers, City Council or Mayor. Join together in a lawsuit that is your only recourse. I suggest Attorney Adam Milam who has the experience and knowledge about the situation.

Welcome to FAUXHOPE.
