PUBLIC HEARINGS:
(A) Variance
between buildings.
at 6000 and 6200 Highlands Parkway to reduce distance
John Patterson said that Archie Jenkins was representing Wilson Development in
their request to reduce the distance between buildings from 40 feet to 35
feet. There was no opposition.
Mr. Jenkins said the topography of the land necessitated a variance on
construction of these two buildings and rather than encroach upon the adjacent
land owners to either side. decided it would be best to place the two
bu:i.lgingE> closer tO~ether. The ordinance requires a distance of 40 feet
between buildings and they were asking for a reduction to 35 feet.
Ragan saiCl.spuncil was familiar with Highlands Park and was pleased with
quality deye+9Pffients. Council has previously set a precedence in
assessing fines on. variances where construction has already begun. Mr. Jenkins
stated tonight that the pad has been poured at the 6000 building and the
foundation walls and coll;lWnE> poured in the 6200 building. and did not know if
that particular poliCy would apply in this case since it was not brought
forth at the agepda mlFetipg on Thursday night. After further discussion. Hugh
Ragan made a motion the variance be approved. Jim Hawkins seconded the motion
which carried 7-0.
(B) Privilege license request - Cobb Center Jewelry & Pawn, 2175 Old Concord
Road.
John Patterson
pawn Shop at
investigation
Chaim Oami has submitted an application for a
formerly Eastside Trading Post. The police
there was no opposition from the audience.
Kathy Brooks asked Mr. Oami if the Eastside Trading Post was still in
business. Mr. Oami said it is. and he is a part owner of that corporation but
would take overthebUE>iness if the license was approved. He has been in the
pawn shop busineE>E>pefore, operating as Fidelity Jewelry and Loan on Delk Road
and is stillp<.lrt oWner and maintains that business. Mr. Oami said he had read
our ordinances on pawn shops and completely understood the reporting
procedures.
Shinall said the.apg+isation stated this would be ? corporation and asked
Oami why other office:!:'E> weren-t listed. Mr. Oaroi said the corporation was
the formative stageE> and he had the name reserved for the corporation but
this time there were no other people who had any interest in the company.

and addresses of those
background investigation.
Oami said he understood that he must report the names
officers and they would also be subject to the same
Jack Shinall said the application was also not completed by failure to give
the addresses of his personal references. Jack Shinall asked Mr. Oami if he
dealt in gold and he said he did, but very little. Jack asked if he had a
license to deal in gold at that location and Mr. Oami said he was going to
apply for a retail license in addition to the pawn license. but everything was
pending on approval of the pawn license. If not approved, he would close this
business.
Mayor Bacon asked Chief Little if the police department has had any problems
at this location with Eastside Trading. and the answer was no.
Bob Davis said one very important question on the application had also been
left unanswered. involving prior arrests or convictions. Mr. Gami said the
answer was no, and the omission of that answer was simply an oversight.
There was considerable discussion about reporting requirements for gold or
precious metals. including pictures of items being pawned. Mr. Oami said they
have never made pictures during their operations at Eastside Trading Post. and
the police department has never required them to do so. Attorney Camp read a
portion of the precious metals dealers ordinance which states that pictures
are required of the sellers. Jim Hawkins said it would seem that two different
licenses would be required for a pawn broker if he is also dealing in gold or
other precious metals. Jack Shinall said the pawn brokers he knew were taking
snapshots in sales of gold or precious metals.
After further discussion. Kathy Brooks said the police investigation was
favorable and this is a previously licensed establishment. and made a motion
the license be approved. Jim Hawkins seconded the motion which failed 4-3.

yard. out of public view in his back yard. The yard is not fenced but Mr.
Mathis said there was a drainage ditch with some growth on it so for the most
part, none of the neighbors could see his back yard. Mr. Camp asked about the
type of growth there and Mr. Mathis said it was voluntary growth, some of it
was there when he move in 24 years ago and some has come up since. Mr. Mathis
said the City Marshal had told him on his last visit there that he was not in
violation.
Mr. Camp asked Mr. Mathis if he received a letter dated October 17. 1986. and
Mr. Mathis said he did. Mr. Camp said this letter stated his property was in
violation of Sections 11-20 and 11-23 and that if corrective action was not
taken within 10 days of receipt of the letter he would be summoned. Mr. Mathis
agreed that he had received the letter. but the code sections referred to are
very vague and in very broad terms. Mr. Mathis said he thought we should be
more specific in what he was in violation of. Mr. Mathis said the ordinance
lists rocks and pebbles as rubbish. and admitted he had rubbish in his back
yard if rocks were classified as rubbish. Mr. Camp said there was a certain
extent to where these items would be classified as rubbish; by being piled up.
strewn about. etc. Mr. Mathis said he had lived next to a burned out. junk
house for 6 years and the City had never done anything about that.
Mr. Mathis said he was continually working on his place by planting some
shrubbery. getting rid of some cars. and had made an attempt to correct the
problem. Jack Shinall asked about the vehicles in his yard, and Mr. Mathis
said he had some that might not be operable and there was one that he knew was
not operable. He bought that vehicle to fix up for someone, as a hobby. About
a year ago. he had a bad fall and had not been able to do a lot of work on
it.
Mr. Camp asked what he had done in the last 6 months since the City began
taking action to make improvements. Mr. Mathis said he had planted probably 18
shrubs. put in some brick sidewalks. landscaping ties and put in a couple of
dogwoods in the front yard and had also done some work in the back yard by
putting in railroad ties. and had put about 6 shrubs in. Mr. Camp asked how
many vehicles he had at his home. Mr. Mathis said there were 6 vehicles there
and he lived alone. There are one or two vehicles he drives frequently and
some are antiques. Mr. Camp asked if the cars had batteries in them and Mr.
Mathis said he was not sure. Mr. Camp told Mr. Mathis he was being evasive
with his answers and reminded him there were penalties for perjury. When he
was asked if he had rubbish and trash in his yard, he had answered yes and
then no.
Mr. Mathis said he had some rocks and pebbles in his yard and also had
building materials in his yard. not waste material. Mr. Camp said he did not
think it could be called building materials because there is an ordinance that
says you have to use materials such as this within 6 months; they cannot be
stored. Mr. Mathis stated earlier that these materials had been there for 4
years. Mr. Mathis said he was building a garage in his back yard and was doing
landscaping. The garage has been under construction for 4 or 5 years and
measures 25 x 80.
Gene Golden said that in September 1986 he received complaints about trash and
rubbish and inoperative vehicles at 1599 Roswell Street. After investigation.
it proved to be a valid complaint and a letter was issued to Mr. Mathis
asking him to take corrective action within 10 days. There was no action taken
and he was cited into court for November 13. The case was continued to
December 18th and continued again to February 18th. Mr. Mathis appeared and
pled not guilty and a new court date was set for March 12th where he was found
guilty and fined $100. Mr. Golden had pictures of the property but at the
objection of Mr. Mathis. were not allowed as evidence. Mr. Golden described
what he had observed when the pictures were taken and said he believed Mr.
Mathis had purchased his building permit in August 1982 and it was just
recently renewed. Mr. Camp said building permits are only good for 6 months
and this would not be a renewal if his original permit had lapsed. Mr. Golden
said he had told Mr. Mathis on one occasion that if he would call him. he
would walk the property with him and tell him what was trash, what was
rubbish. and what he had to get rid of. but he never called back.
Mr. Golden said he had been city marshal for 5 years, and in his opinion. this
property was definitely in violation of the code at the time the citation was
written and any reasonable person would determine that there was rubbish.
debris. and inoperative vehicles at that location.
April 20, 1987 - continued
Mr. Golden said from what he could see in the front, the property does not
seem t.o be in vi.olation now as far as the high weeds are concerned. However.
the vehic1es. trash and rubbish are still there.
City Enginee):' Mike Hutchinson said he had observed Mr. Mathis's yard from
driving in the area aI).d you could n.ot help seeing the garage from the street.
and wender why it has not been finished and also questioned the method of
construction. Mr. Hutchinson said the garage was visible from Hawthorne and
R.oswell Str.eets... .He also observed what appeared to be inoperative vehicles.
drums, misce11aneous qonstruction materials laying on the ground in the
vicinity of the building being constructed. The garage is partially assembled.
built from steel. ..cpncrete and corrugated metal. Mr. Hutchinson said the
material had been sittiI).g for quite some time and had rusted and looked to be
disorderly. so he would consider it rubbish. The building permits were not
checked on until thelet~ers were sent about the violations. The last building
permit was issued in Fel>ruary 1987. Mr. Hutchinson said in his best judgment.
Mr. Mathis's property was in violation .of our ordinance.
Mr. Mathis said he had .;r.l:luilding permit and had some sheet meta1. structural
steel. brick, and would +ike to build his garage. Mr. Mathis said this was his
third building permit; the first two were issued for twe year periods. This
permit was for 6 :m.onths~with a stipulation not to work en the weekends. Mr.
Mathis said the appear.;r.nce of his property was not the greatest. but neither
were the surrounding homes. Mr. Mathis" said he would have the building
completed in 6 months.
After further discussion. Jerry Mi11s made a motion the recorders court
