PUBLIC HEARINGS:
(A) Annexation of 10 acres on South Cobb Drive south of Wisteria Lane.
John Patterson said that Don Hammett has requested the annexation of this 10
acre tract on South Cobb Drive at Wisteria Lane in Land Lot 482. There was no
opposition from the audience and Jim Hawkins made a motion the property be
annexed into the City to become a part of Ward 4. the legal description being
read and made a part of the minutes of the April 6. 1987 meeting. Jack Shinall
seconded the motion which carried 7-0.

was no opposition.
Mr. Hammett said he has an agreement with Post Properties to purchase and
develop this property and presented a rendering of their proposed development.
They will also acquire an additional 6 acres from Mill Pond that is already
zoned to tie into this deVelopment. It will be an all adult community with 60%
of the units one-pegr9Qm and a density of l6 units per acre. totaling 145
units. Mr. Hammett said they have met with the homeowners on Alpine Drive and
have agreed to a 75. foot setback with a 6 foot privacy fence which will be
placed 10 feet insigethe property line. The only entrance will be from South
Cobb Drive and the pQrtion of development adjacent to Mill Pond will be a
dead-end. with no acces.!;;<through that development. There was some discussion
about the 75 foot undisturbed buffer and Mr. Camp said if this area is
designated as an undisturbed buffer. the developer cannot go into that area
without notification to the City Engineer. Mr. Hammett said he would prefer to
have a 75 foot setback with 50 feet designated as an undisturbed buffer.
Mr. Hammett said theY would tie onto a 20" water main on South Cobb Drive.
There is a seWer line (;:.oming across the property now but they will not tie
into that because of elevation problems. Their plans are to tap into the line
at Mill Pond. John.patterson said the existing line on the property has some
surcharge pr9plems and the line at Mill Pond is using a pump station. which is
at capacity. There would have to be significant upgrades to the pump station
before it could be used. Mr. Hammett said it was his understanding that it was
only 100 to 150 feet from the pump station through Raymond Reeds property to
another sewer line and you could eliminate the pump station completely by
tying onto that line.
Joel Harrell said he pe-rsonally had problems with rezoning this property to 16
units per acre and didn't think this request would fit in the RHR category.
The City does not have a zoning classification which allows 16 units per acre.
Mr. . Hanunett said he understood the RHR category allows 3 separate types of
deve:lqPment with de.nsity of up to 60 units per acre. with one being an elderly
housing facility. and another an apartment category. Joel Harrell said the
whole purpose of the RHR category is to allow a 10 or 15 story building. Joel
said he had no problems with Post Property developments but was concerned
about the precedent bei:pg set with this zoning.
After further discussion. Jim Hakwins made a motion the zoning be approved as
requested~ with the following stipulations:
(1) Maximum of 16 units per acre

over the existing driveway. The abutting affected property owner has been
notified of this request and does not have an objection. There was no
opposition.
Ms. Trevino said the driveway would begin 15 feet from the sidewalk and extend
to the rear of the house. John Patterson said there were some concerns
expressed that the carport would jut out beyond the porch which is 24 feet
from the street and would be too close to the road for safety sake and for
aesthetics. It would be much better if it could be tied in with the home and
not extend beyond the 24 foot setback. Following discussion. Kathy Brooks made
a motion the variance be approved to reduce the side yard from 10 feet to one
foot. and to reduce the front yard from 40 feet to 24 feet to not extend
beyond the front of the existing house. Hugh Ragan seconded the motion which
carried 7-0.

the audience.
Mr. Turner said the error was round arter the footings had been dug and
poured. Originally they thought the encroachment was only 3 to 7 inches but
later round that they were several feet over the line. Mr. Turner said the
error has certainly not benerited him; in ract it has hurt him by limiting
access to his back yard. With little discussion Hugh Ragan made a motion the
variance be approved. Kathy Brooks seconded the motion which carried 7-0.

do not have that good a reputation. Jim said he thought this move tonight was
a big step in the right direction. Jim read the proposed ordinance as follows:

(C) Water/Sewer Rates.
John Patterson said the county had approved and implemented a sewer rate
increase and the water authority has a rate increase that will go into effect
very sOon and we must now pass those onto our customers in order to recoup the
cost as required by Our Water Revenue Bond Issue.
Joel Harrell said ~he Sewer increase came up several months ago at a council
meeting and it was decig.edat that time to go back to the county and see if we
couldn't have a 6 mOnth.moratorium before the increase went into affect. There
was also discussion at that time about a previous agreement with the County
that they would proyige us with 6 months notice before implementing any
increases. As of tonight, the Cobb County commissioners have still not
considered our request;. The proposed new fee for sewerage will be $1.65 per
thousand from 1.06 per thousand. The proposed new water rates will be $1.10
per thousand from $.96 per .thousand. The impact of these increases on a normal
household would be aPPro~;i..inately $7.30 per month based on an average use of 9
to 10 thousand gallon$. Joel said these rates will still be one the lowest in
the county. Joel also said we are obligated to recoup what it costs us to
supply these services through the Water Revenue Bond Issue agreement. Joel
Harrell made a motion the new rates be adopted; $1.65 per thousand for sewer
and $1.10 for water. effective immediately.

Ragan seconded the motion for discussion and said that none of council
the situation they found themselves in but there was no choice. The
is dependent on Cobb County for these services and when they increase
we have no choice but to pass it onto the citizens.
Mayor Bacon said everyone was concerned with the increases. We received a
short notice in November about the sewer increase and we fought for what we
thought was an agre"l..inent with Cobb County to provide us 6 months advance
notice of any increases. We. have held off paying the increase and now are in
arrears in an amount close to $58,000 for sewer treatment.
Jack Shinall said we had also been told that we could expect an increase at
least every other year.

Sanders said he did n9t know until tonight that variances would be required
and requested that council take this matter under advisement tonight. Jim
Hawkins said the variance that would be required on the front setback is a
result of the Concord Road wigening and the property to the west is still
zoned residential. Jim said if this zoning was approved tonight. the adjacent
house would be the one left on Concord Road zoned residential and if
these two property owners had applied jointly. the variance would not be
required. Mr. Sanders said he had agreed to a 6 foot wooden fence along the
rear property line and would have sufficient parking.

half block away. The Planning and Zoning Board had recommended the zoning be
approved. There was no opposition from the audience.
Ms. Broek represented herself and said she wanted to build a duplex for
herself and a friend to live in. They currently reside at King Springs Village
retirement home. Ms. Broek presented renderings of the proposed development
and said the building would appear to be a single family residence. She has
