DAPHNE, Ala. — The Trione Park Sports Complex, a 122-acre development that will locate a half-mile east of North Main Street and Park Drive, will undergo further planning before its receives approval, the Daphne Planning Commission said during its work session Wednesday.

Commissioners, armed with some concerns, tabled the master plan until further progress is made.

One question raised was the necessity of a 120-foot hammerhead — a T-shaped driveway — or a cul-de-sac since the park’s driveway will be over 150 feet long.

Scott Hutchinson, vice president of Hutchinson, Moore & Rauch engineering, said either one would reduce parking area and increase costs.

“I ask you (the planning commission) to take a good, common-sense look at this,” he said. “I don’t feel this rule is a good fit.”

A turnaround, however, is required by the International Fire Code, Fire Marshal Chip Martin said.

“If there’s a vehicle that catches fire down there, we need to have fire-truck access, or so soccer moms don’t have to back up 100 feet when they don’t find a parking spot,” he said.

Commissioner Larry Chason said there’s an easy solution to the problem.

“If just shortening it (the driveway) up some and loosing some parking will fix this problem, that’s the easiest thing to do,” he said.

He also suggested making part of the driveway from impervious material.

Water was another concern.

“I count 22 ball fields and a pool,” Commissioner Don Terry said. “Is Park City able to provide all that water?”

Hutchinson said the development lies within Park City water territory since it is situated off Park Drive, though he knows of no 8-inch lines — the size pools require — currently in Park City.

Commissioners also questioned the potential influx of children who live near the area.

Commissioner Victoria Phelps and Chason asked for trails from nearby neighborhoods to lead into the park.

They agreed that children from surrounding subdivisions would cut though yards to get there if no trails were built.
