The City of Mobile Planning Commission convened on May 15, 2025, to address several key issues concerning local property developments and community concerns. The meeting featured discussions primarily focused on access and maintenance of Warren Court, a residential area with ongoing disputes regarding traffic and property management.

The meeting began with a resident's statement regarding their deeded access to Warren Court, originally conveyed in 1955. The resident emphasized their long-standing relationship with the previous owner, Dr. Gray, but expressed frustration over the lack of maintenance from the current owner. They noted that residents had previously funded necessary repairs, such as resurfacing the road, and proposed a joint maintenance agreement with the current owner, Mr. Gray. However, they reported no communication with him regarding this matter.

Concerns were raised about the implications of additional traffic on Warren Court, particularly in light of the existing residential density, which includes four homes, nine vehicles, and ten children. The resident requested that the commission deny a proposal for a third lot, stressing that Warren Court should not serve as a primary access point for any future developments. They highlighted the challenges posed by the narrow, ten-foot-wide paved drive, which is unsuitable for larger city vehicles, including fire trucks.

Following this statement, the commission engaged in a dialogue about the operational aspects of trash collection in the area, confirming that residents transport their trash to McGregor Avenue for pickup.

The meeting concluded with the commission acknowledging the residents' concerns and the staff's recommendation to deny the request for the third lot. The commission will consider the implications of traffic and access on Warren Court as they move forward with their decision-making process. Further discussions and follow-up actions are expected in future meetings to address these ongoing community issues.
