Who controls access to the South Drive entrance?

Access to US Highway 98 from South Drive is controlled by parcel 43-09-32-0-000-001.028. The property is a 50 foot strip that runs east/west between US Highway 98's right-of-way and the beginning of South Drive and contains the access road.

The City of Fairhope acquired ownership of the parcel on October 9, 2022:

Prior to property transfer, the property was privately owned by Penelope Johnson. Each year, the owner granted access to Baldwin County 911 for emergency use (and to the home owners in the Rock Creek subdivision). The POA received such a notice in August 2015, when we were CC'ed on a e-mail to the Baldwin County 911. The property was sold in 2005 and deeded to the current owner after Rock Creek LLC apparently failed to pay taxes on the property in 2001. Record of the e-mail is documented in the Board's August 2015 monthly minutes, which can be accessed here (or by copying the link below and pasting it into your browser's address bar):
