4) Reduction of reql1ired parking from 6 spaces to 2 spaces
5) Installation of two signs per property frontage
There was no opposition to the variance reql1est. Don Harkleroad represented Amoco
and said they wanted to re-build this site with a modern facility comprised of a
convenience store with gas pumps and car wash. There will be no outside storage
or no work performed on vehicles. The front yard setback reduction is reql1ested
from 50 feet to 38.2 feet due to the overhang of the gas canopy. The canopy is
detached from the building itself and the columns for the canopy are within the
setback.
Mr. Harkleroad said the setback reduction on the Lake Drive side is being
reql1ested because the same conditions exist with the canopy overhang but the main
building will sit 50 to 60 feet away from the street. The rear setback .is needed
becauseche property does not have enough depth for the car wash to provide
sufficient room for the tanks and maneuverability of vehicles. McDonald's is
purchasing the proper'cy to the rear and they stated they had no objection co the
variance but because of time const.raints could not provide a letter to that
effect. Mr. Harkleroad said they would withdraw their reql1est to reduce parking
and increase the~ir signage.

FORMAL BUSINESS:
(A) Approval of Boys Club site location.
John Patterson said the Boys Club has been trying to locate a facility in Smyrna
to meet the needs of our youth and the 4 acres at North Smyrna Park has been
suggested as a site for them. The proposed North Smyrna Park property was
reviewed by the Parks Commission and Council Committee and they have recommended
this site. Additional work will need to be done to satisfy the requirements of
the National Park Service but the action tonight will be to ensure the Boys Club
the site will be available to them.
Bob Betenbaugh made a motion a resoluti.on be adopted to approve the site for the
future boys club location subject to approval ofche proper governmental
authorities. Jack Shinall seconded the motion which carried 7-0.
(B) Amendment to retirement pI.an.
John Patterson said that several months ago, the City amended the retirement plan
with JMEBS to allow public safety employees to contribute toward their
retirement, in addition to the amount the City already contributes for employees.
None of che public safety employees were made aware of the bind.ing cJ.ause in the
contract that once they enrolled, they could not get back out. Since that. time
several have expressed a strong desire to exit the program. The proposed
aIDenrnnenc tonight will provide a 30 day window to allow employees to enroll once
and for all, or to exit the program permanently.
Jim Hawkins made a motion the amendment be approved, to provide for open
enrollment of the contributory retirement plan for public safety employees from
May 1-31, 1988. Kachy Jordan seconded the motion which carried 7-0.
(C) Employee Assis'cance Program.
John Patterson said tha'c Dr. Michael Langley with the Center for Psychological
and Counseling Services has presented an employee assistance program to provide
assistance to our employees who have problems ranging from drug and alcohol abuse
through stressful issues such as divorce, child abuse, or job related problems.
The annual fee for the program is $7,300 and the i.mpact on the current budget to
begin immediately wlll be $1,200.
Hawkins made a motion

BID AWARDS:
(A) Architectural services for community center/library.
John Patterson said that council had established December 3l, 1988 as the
objective date to achieve site selection, architectural drawings and fundi..ng for
the Library/comnity center. On April 25th the firm of Sizemore Floyd Archi.tects
presented to council their proposal for assisting the City in meeting their
deadline through their facilities programming which is uniql1e to their firm.
Recencly while trying to secure architects for the fire station, many
architectural firms were contacted regarding the services they provide but none
of chose firms provided the services as specified by Sizemore Floyd, who
presented a very competitive cost for all architectural services including
interior design and landscaping.

are able to shaw the impact of a particular component of the development so
are no surprises at the end of the process. Mr. Wiley said the only ather
he knew of that provided this same service was CRS in Houston; there were no
f i.rms he was aware of.
Bob Betenbaugh asked about site selection. Mr. Wiley said the City would need a
site selection because the site and the site development will affect the ulcimate
cost of the project.
Mayor Bacon said Sizemore Floyd gave a very good presentation at the work session
Monday night and he thought everyone was comfortable with their proposal. Mayor
Bacon said he hoped that council tonight would approve the architectural services
so that we could proceed and hopefully meet the goal that was established during
the recreac at Cohucta Lodge early this year.
Jack Shinall told Mr. Wiley he had been presented as a sale supplier tonight and
asked if similar systems were not available from other architectural firms
locally. Mr. Wiley said he did not know of another firm in town that uses the
"squatters" method, coming to the customer' s facility and using 'cheir rooms for
collection of data so that it can be changed and fine tuned as the ideas come
forward.
Jack Shinall said this is a contract that may range from $50,000 up and it was
very difficult for him to vote on a sole supplier situation. He also felt chis
was possibly not a sale supplier situation because as late as today, he had
talked to an architect with Heery and Heery who had stated their firm coul.d
provide the same service. Sizemore Floyd i.s a very reputable firm but Mr. Shinall
sai.d he thought it would behoove him to look at all options and was not ready to
award a contract of this magnitude tonight.
Bob Betenbaugh said this is a personal services contract and did not think there
was any way possible to draw an exact distinction between architectural. firms. We
need to get competitive bids in all cases where we are .in a posit.ion to do sa,
but in view of the fact that we received an extensive and impressive resume from
Sizemore Floyd and have been able to check some of his references, Bob Betenbaugh
said he would make a motion we award the contract to Sizemore Floyd, with the
entire project to be very closely monitored. The motion was then withdrawn at the
request of wade Lnenicka to aLlow further discussion.
Jerry Mills said this was an important issue to counci.l and to the City and he
would like for them to be unanimous .in their vote. During discussion Attorney
Camp said council was not reql1ired by law to reql1est bids far personal service
contracts; it is more of a ql1ality decision for them to make. Jack Shinall said
he had committed to the civic center and also to the December 31st deadline, but
wanted to have the time to make some personal contacts before taking a vote and
would like to have this issue tabled for two weeks.
Lnenicka said there were some modificati.ons he would like to see made to the
before signing and after further discussion, Bob Betenbaugh made a

May 16, 1988
The regular scheduled meeting of Mayor and Council was held May 16, 1988 at
Smyrna City Hall. The meeting was called to order at 7:30 o'clock p.m. by
presiding officer Mayor A. Max Bacon. All council members were present except for
Jerry Mills and Bob Davis. Also present was City Administrator John Patterson,
city Attorney Charl.es E. Camp, City Clerk Melinda Dameron and representatives of
the press.
Mayor Bacon said that Councilman Jerry Mills passed away this morning after a
long illness from kidney and heart disease. Jerry was very important to thi.s
city and council and Mayor Bacon said from a personal standpoint, Jerry was one
of his biggest supporters over the past few years. He loved the City probably
more than anyone else on council and he will be missed. Mayor Bacon asked
everyone to remember the Mills family in their prayers.

Jack said the Bryant had described earlier as staying in these

classified as a ql1asi-apartment complex.
Jim Hawkins asked if this development would be classified as a motel or
apartments because there are two different sets of rules for the two different
developments. Mr. Bryant said it is a hotel because of the amount of time people
would stay there. Jim Hawkins said he was concerned that this development would
be within walking distance of a middle school and elementary school.
Bob Betenbaugh said Smyrna does not have a zoning category to handle a facility
such as this. We are currently working on an ordinance for tourism but it has not
yet been approved. Mr. Betenbaugh said because of that he had done some
investigation into the information Mr. Bryant had provided by stating that many
of the rooms could be utilized by visitors to patients in Smyrna Hospital,
visitors to King Springs Village and perhaps in Smyrna Towers. Also, that there
may be some business people who would be training at Highlands Park. Mr.
Betenbaugh also presented some photos of an Extend-a-STay at the corner of Pat
Mell and Austell Road which show that primarily projects such as this are
occupied by itinerace construction workers as evidenced by the trucks, barrels of
gasoline, etc. in the pictures. In talking with King Springs Village, they
indicated they have a free apartment available for visitors and it has been used
about 4 times since the village has been there. In talking with Smyrna Hospital
they found that in 1986, there were 4,235 admissions with 3,594 of those coming
from cobb and Ful"con County and 75% of that total coming from Cobb County. This
would lead you to believe there is not a necessity for visitors to stay
overnight. At Smyrna Towers they have all one bedroom units and most of their
residents have sleeper sofas. They are allowed to have overnight guests for a
maximum of 2 weeks. Some of their residents do have guests, but the majority of
the residents are retired and they are the ones to visic their children and do
the traveling. Mr. Betenbaugh said apparently the clientele for the Ex"cend-a-Stay
was not coming from any of these facilities as Mr. Bryant had indicated.
Ridgeview Institute said there was a possibility they may have some use for the
facility but would not elaborate further. Mr. Betenbaugh said he also interviewed
school officials, PTA officers and school board members about the proposed
development and had personally observed a lot of pedestrian traffic to both
schools. The school officials were all very adamantly opposed to this facility
because of the opportunity it would present for possible child abuse, drugs,
prostitution. In summary, Mr. Betenbaugh said his investigations had confirmed a
lot of reservations he already had about the development and felt very strongly
that this development was not suited to the area.
Following lengthy discussion about traffic, safety, etc., Bob Betenbaugh said he
could not, in good conscience, support this development and made a motion the
zoning be denied in the interest of che health, safety and morals of the
community. Jim Hawkins seconded the motion which carried 6-0.
(C) Variance reql1est - reduce side yard setback at 1730 Point Pleasant
John Patterson said that Bob Thornton is reql1esting a variance to reduce the side
yard setback from 10 feet to 8.8 feet for this new home in Vinings Glen
subdivision. The letter of hardship states that the house was placed wrong on the
lot and the error was not found until after the footing and slab were poured and
the property surveyed. There was no opposition.
Mr. Thornton said the house is already sold. When the preliminary plat was drawn
it showed a 95 foot frontage on the street but when the survey was later made, it
showed an actual 85 foot frontage. Mr. Thornton said they have double checked the
other lots to be sure this error does not re-occur.
After discussion, Wade Lnenicka made a motion the variance be approved. Jack
Shinall seconded the motion which carried 6-0.
