Both measures arereturned to zoning subcommittee

The Huntsville Planning Commission delayed action Tuesday night on a rezoning request near Huntsville Hospital that could potentially turn Longwood Drive into a row of physician's offices.

Planners also agreed to reconsider a revamped sign ordinance that would permit painted murals on businesses and regulate the emerging digital sign industry.

Both measures were sent back to the commission's zoning subcommittee for review next month.

Residents of Longwood Drive petitioned the city to rezone their street from R-1B District to Residential Office District. The change would allow professional offices such as dentists, doctors and accountants to operate from homes as long as the new use doesn't change the residential character of the neighborhood.

Retaining the current zoning, rezoning proponents argued, would harm their home values since their street is fast being consumed by an encroaching medical district.

"Everyone on the block has agreed," said Madonna Jamieson, referring to some 20 homeowners along Longwood who have seen medical facilities operated by UAB and Huntsville Hospital continuously expand their operations. "We don't just see it, we're experiencing it."

Critics argued the rezoning would create the same problems for adjoining neighborhoods.

"By allowing this, you would push the problems they're dealing with onto Rhett," warned Lynn Davison, a resident of Rhett Avenue which parallels Longwood. Both sides pleaded with commissioners to consider the effect their decision will have on property values.

Commission Vice Chairman Earl Gooding said the "bigger issue" planners must grapple with is how to balance changing development dynamics when old meets new in growth area.

"We have a hospital in an expansion mode. The question is where will the line be drawn? This is so complex, the best thing we can do is send this back to committee," he said.

Dozens of residents, pro and con, packed the commission chamber to argue their points. The new zoning classification requires landscaping buffers but allows much of the yard to be paved for parking. Homes must retain at least 20 feet of a front yard, 15 feet of a rear yard and 5 feet of a side yard between the next property line.

Longwood residents warned rental houses could flourish if planners reject the rezoning and disallow professional offices as tenants. Rhett residents questioned the fairness of changing the zoning when residents relied on them when buying their homes.

some more info from WAFF

A new location has -finally been nailed down for the Old Towne Brewing Company. It was destroyed after a fire swept through in late June.

Everything from a building to equipment will be new and owners expect it to be better than ever.

It's going to be located off Leeman Ferry only a few miles from the original location in Downtown Huntsville.

While it looks like an old field that hasn't been tended to in years, it soon will be the new home to an old favorite.

Rocks, weeds and a lot mud fill the property now. It's a blank canvas for Don Allen Hankins, "We had this property so we just made the decision to go ahead and build from the ground up."

From scratch, Old Towne Brewery will move to the lot off Leeman Ferry Road.

A vast transformation to a building some 7,000 square feet.

"We just pretty much designed it how we wanted to, we designed the brew house where it's going to go, the bottling line where it's going to go, new offices, our loading docks where we want to," says Hankins.

All new, after a June fire burned the original Old Towne on Holmes Avenue to the ground.

Today, only two things remain a shell of the old building and the massive steel brewing tanks currently being refurbished.

"They actually look better than when I first got them," says Hankins.

But with the bad comes the good a new bottling line Hankins says will make Huntsville's only brewery better all around, "It's going to up the quality of our beer, up the shelf life of our beer so we're really excited about that."

so glad to hear that olde towne is going to get some new bottling equipment and just overall upgrade. so many of their beers were contaminated and undrinkable, yet others were delicious. i don't think i ever had one of their ambers that wasn't contaminated. they just can't have that if their going to be a respectable microbrewery.

More major retail coming

Developer, city showoff at shopping centerconference in Atlanta

Times Staff Writer

ATLANTA - Though little has been said in public recently about plans for a controversial mall site in Madison, DeBartolo Development was promoting the 1.6 million-square-foot project off Zierdt Road at a retail conference here this week as The Peaks at South Chase.

"One of our development officers is still working with the landowner on that site," said Mark Hammer, a development manager for DeBartolo Development, on Wednesday at the International Council of Shopping Centers' (ICSC) Southeastern Conference.

"We're working hard at it, looking for tenants," Hammer said. A brochure was available on the proposed site, which was among about a dozen possible DeBartolo developments on display.

The proposed DeBartolo mall and residential site, south of Interstate 565 at Zierdt Road, is owned by local developer Louis Breland. After a failed attempt this year to deannex the property from Madison into Huntsville by legislative act, there's been little publicity about what's happening with the proposed development.

However, Breland has been meeting individually with Madison City Council members to discuss options for the plan.

"Not much has changed," Councilman Tommy Overcash said recently.

Madison Mayor Sandy Kirkindall was so busy at the booth he and aide Jessica Bradley set up for Madison at the convention, he didn't have time to trek over to visit the DeBartolo representatives on Wednesday.

The retail convention was at the Georgia World Congress Center and featured more than 400 booths and more than 4,000 attendees.
That's where Kirkindall and Bradley spent six hours Wednesday talking with retailers, developers and representatives from other cities. It was Kirkindall's third time to attend. It cost the city about $2,500.

"I feel good about it," Kirkindall said. "The whole idea is to raise awareness of our terrific demographic."

That means the city's 40,000 residents, who have an average household income of $105,000 and where 69 percent of adult residents have at least a bachelor's degree.


"It's very strong" demographically, said Mark Cravens, acquisitions director of Common Wealth Development of Florida, based in Tampa. He represents small- and medium-sized retail outlets like specialty boutiques, and also develops small office parks.

Cravens said in addition to good demographics, the red tape in Madison and Huntsville is much easier to cut than in other areas.

"Right now, I have a development that's taken 22 months to get the permitting in Tampa," Cravens said. "I can do eight to 10 in an area like (North Alabama) in that time frame."

His company is looking at North Alabama and southern Tennessee, he said.

Others already know about the area.

"I love Madison and this part of the country," said Bob Flowers, president of Wolf Ridge Properties in Jackson, Miss. He stopped by to give Kirkindall an update on a 400-plus acre development he's planning to build in Madison, though he declined to give specifics.

"There is a lot of opportunity in Madison," Flowers said. "There's been a lot of residential growth but not retail growth, so it's just right."
The new County Line Road/I-565 interchange is also a big deal for business, he said.

"The proximity to the airport and overall it's just a great location and a lot of positive things are happening there," Flowers said.

Local developer John Blue didn't have a booth, but he and associate Herman Thomason walked around the conference looking for potential retailers and restaurants for a retail center he's planning in Jones Valley.

St. James Place, Blue said, will be on Cecil Ashburn Drive between Jones Valley and Big Cove. It will have the look and feel of the French Quarter in New Orleans or downtown Charleston.

Blue said plans for another new development he's working on in Madison, to be called Main Street, should be finalized in a few weeks. It will be on Hughes Road, near the Kroger shopping center.

"What the mayor's doing here will make it" happen faster, Blue said.

Alabama had more municipalities represented at the conference than any other state - and it was noticed.

In addition to Madison, the cities of Boaz, Guntersville, Albertville and Arab also are attending. Several other towns from the southern part of the state were there, too, as well as mayors, including Allan Lowe of Columbiana.

"Alabama is here in a big way," said Lonnie Mimms Jr., chief executive officer of Mimms Enterprises, a real estate investments firm in the Atlanta area.

"It's so refreshing not to be viewed as the evil giant because the fact is growth in the commercial industry keeps residential taxes lower," Mimms said.

Seeing Alabama cities promoting themselves, he said, shows him that "Alabama is very positive and pro-business."

"We'd love to come to Alabama," Mimms said.

Huntsville needs workers

Growth slows in 4th quarter, still outpaces U.S. rate

Alabama business leaders expect the state's economy to continue to outperform the U.S. economy in the fourth quarter, but their overall confidence level has fallen, a new survey by Compass Bank finds.

The survey also reported that economic prospects for the Huntsville metro area remain the state's best, according to Compass' Alabama Business Leaders Confidence Index, which covers all of the state's counties and each business sector.

"These are good times in Alabama - you should enjoy it, cherish it," said Dr. Sam Addy, an economist with the University of Alabama, who spoke at a luncheon Wednesday hosted by Compass at the Embassy Suites. "Alabama has outperformed the U.S. economy in this decade. Per capita income is the highest it's ever been - 86 percent of the U.S. average."

The release of the survey data was highlighted at the luncheon as Addy talked about Alabama's economy, and Mark Sfiligoj, who works for the business publication The Kiplinger Letter, offered a mixed review of the U.S. economy.

Addy directs the Center for Business and Economic Research at UA, which helps conduct the survey for Compass. He said growth in Alabama has slowed in 2007 but still outpaces the U.S. rate. The strong state economy is marked by low unemployment, solid tax revenues, a business-friendly government and quality job training, he said.

The survey, which uses 50 as a neutral point, showed that the overall confidence rating for the fourth quarter was 50.7, a drop of six points from the previous quarter. The fall was attributed to pessimism about the U.S. economy and a decline in confidence about Alabama.

The confidence rating for the state remained positive at 55.8, but employers predicted little change in their hiring practices and said sales, profits and capital spending would be up moderately in the fourth quarter.

Addy joked that Huntsville's economy was so good that he wanted to move here. He also identified a long-term challenge for Huntsville: Find enough workers to fill the jobs that will continue to be created.

Huntsville's population increased by 10 percent from 2000 to 2005, which buoyed the labor pool, Addy said, adding that the growth trend needs to continue.

The addition of 4,700 BRAC jobs and workers moving to fill them will help the work-force balance in the near term, he said.

Nationally, the economic outlook is bleaker for 2008, said Kiplinger's Sfiligoj. He said the opinion of the publication staff is that the U.S. economy will grow about 2 percent next year, higher than most forecasts to date.

"This is a time of considerable anxiety about the economy," he said. "We don't think there will be a national recession, though it may be nip and tuck.

"A recession is a decline in production for six to nine months, and for that to happen you'd need two of four groups to collapse - consumer spending, business spending, government spending and overseas spending."

Sfiligoj said government spending remains high and overseas spending is strong, while consumer spending has pulled back and business spending has slowed.

"We'll have sector recessions, in housing and automobiles, and that will feel lousy for some people," he said, "but it is not a recession."

January is targetbuilding date; beermay flow by June

Olde Towne Brewing Co. of Huntsville will soon rise from the ashes of a fire that claimed the state's only microbrewery this summer.

Founder and co-owner Don Alan Hankins plans a microbrewery that will include a novelty shop and bottling equipment that will speed production and expand Olde Towne's product line on store shelves.


Hankins discussed his rebuilding plans Wednesday just days after settling on a site. Construction on the $1 million building could begin in January, with beer flowing by June.

The new Olde Towne Brewing Co. will be built just west of Leeman Ferry Road, roughly across the street from the Benton Wilcoxon Municipal Ice Complex.

The company wanted to relocate downtown or in the Lowe Mill Village but nothing seemed suitable at either because of price, layout or acquisition terms.
Despite the fire, most of the brewing equipment is salvageable. A restoration expert in Woodville is refurbishing the giant fermenting tanks, the brew kettle, carbonator tank, pasteurizer and other equipment.

He said the new site will be more tourist friendly for visitors wanting to learn about beer brewing and brewing history.

"It will be a brick facade designed to look exactly like the old one with the same doors and the tanks visible out front," Hankins said.


Hankins said he's excited about building from scratch instead of having to retrofit a building. "We'll cut a new road to the back of the property. We'll name our own road that will have something to do with beer. We're kicking around some names right now," he said. One prospect: "Hops" Drive or Lane, in honor of Olde Towne's house cat, missing since the fire.

The 7,000-square-foot microbrewery will be slightly smaller than the original but with more usable space and a "merchandise room" stocked with T-shirts, mugs and other Olde Towne memorabilia.

New bottling equipment will speed production from 20 bottles a minute to 90. The new bottler also will enhance the carbonating efficiency, a must to stabilize beers before bottling.

"I had some problems carbonating beers before. The true test of a microbrewery is if their bottled product tastes like their draft," Hankins said.

The brewery will still offer four main brews: Amber, pale ale, hefe-weizen and pilsner along with seasonable offerings. The new bottling equipment will enable Hankins to bottle the pilsner, previously available only in draft.

He said he continues to be overwhelmed by the well-wishes and outpouring of support from the community. Strangers sometimes stop him in the grocery store or put notes on his car to ask about the rebuilding plans or encourage him to press on.

"I think these people not only care about me," he said," but a lot of people feel Olde Towne is a good addition to the community."

one thing about this project even if it doesn't happen is that there are developers out there that are seriously exploring ideas for downtown.
When the Constellation project, the expanded Von Braun Center arena expansion, and other condo/hotel projects are complete,Huntsville should see the critical mass required to give downtown the energy to see even bigger
projects.

Madison, this Huntsville suburb continues to see growth

Mayor Kirkindall reported Madison had recently surpassed 40,000 residents. The population now stands at 40,059, and there are 11,000 single-family homes and more than 3,500 apartments, he reported. The pace of home building has slowed slightly from roughly 600 homes a year to around 550, with 400 students added yearly to city schools, he said.

more on this from WAFF
Development is inevitable in Huntsville's medical district. But one neighborhood is torn when it comes to how they see their property in the future.

This comes off the heels of a planning commission Tuesday night.

Many residents along Longwood Avenue have requested to be rezoned because of future growth around Governor's Drive, the traffic already vouches for that.

They want to protect their property value.

But their nearby neighbors on Rhett Avenue feel they'll be getting the brunt of Longwood's problems.

With more development on the horizon in Huntsville's medical district, 20 households along Longwood asked the planning commission Tuesday night to be rezoned from single family residential to a residential office district.

Talks are that doctors' offices will eventually move in.

Residents have witnessed tremendous growth from their front doors, and now, more expansion from Huntsville Hospital.

They want to protect their property from decreasing in value.

Gladys Mullis and her husband built their home on Longwood more than 50 years ago: "1950. We were one of the first ones on the street... just a lot of good memories. I know every scratch on the wall."

Mullis remembers when there was just a playground in front of her home.

She says, "I hate to see things change so much but I know they're going to."

Diana Davidson lives on Rhett Avenue. Her home backs up to Longwood: "The controversy is over this area back here and this area is actually an easement it's not an actually alley way and if Longwood is converted over to business properties then we're basically going to have a parking lot throughout our backyards."

While sympathetic, some neighbors feel Longwood's problems are being put on them.

"They're going to have 1500 cars parked across the street from them and a parking garage and a large parking area, but rezoning them then just brings the line to us on Rhett."

District Four City Councilman Bill Kling says, "I think the city council is going to be very interested in finding out what is being proposed for Longwood Avenue and how can that be done without hurting the Rhett avenue residents."

Kling adds, "I think there are a lot of areas of the city were people are buying buildings old houses in existing older neighborhoods and turning them into a residential office buildings such as this... We want to protect the neighborhoods the best we can because every resident in the city deserves to have a good neighborhood to live in."

The councilman also hopes to appease the Longwood residents, which might be a solution of putting parking in the front or create a buffer to separate Longwood and Rhett.

The proposal has been passed to the zoning subcommittee for further review.

It will go back to planning for a recommendation, and then ultimately go before the city council for a vote.

Across the river in Decatur

By Evan Belanger
[email protected] · 340-2442

By a unanimous vote, the Decatur City Council ushered in what may become a new era for city expansion.

After months of delay, the council moved forward Monday with a 166-acre property annexation in the Burleson Mountain area near Interstate 65..

It's the largest annexation for a residential development in Decatur's recent history.

Known as the Duckworth project, the property is the future home of a 400-lot residential development aimed at catering to military personnel and government contractors relocating to Huntsville's Redstone Arsenal as bases in other areas of the country close.

Analysts predict new military programs coming to Redstone — part of the government's Base Realignment and Closure program — will bring thousands of jobs to North Alabama and more than $500 million in annual payroll by 2011.

City officials say the new development, north of the Indian Hills Golf Course, will help Decatur capture a percentage of that influx.

I'm glad someone else mentioned this. Their "draft" beer in restaurants and bars is usually pretty good, but the bottled amber was most always horrible. I've had exceptions. Once or twice the bottled amber was OK, and once I had some horrible amber on draft.

I like this building too, but i would like to see some 20-30 story buildings eventually being developed downtown.

A few things I noticed


Well I went by the site quickly at lunch and few curious observations.
1. This is the current offices of John Blue Realty which are in a renovated building that
looks just like the first level or very similar to the above rendering, even the lights.
2. I think this existing building is designated historic(as is most of the CBD) and could not be torn down.
3. This leads me to believe the main building would be built Over the existing structure (it would not be holding up any of the new structure)
4. This view is looking south which will leave room for the planned city parking garage behind it, which could be an incentive. Most garage projects now look to have some sort of built in tenant use.
5. First United Methodist church is due north and the old Downtown YMCA building is due east.
6. Wonder how long ago this proposal was done or if it is even still valid?
