City Council
Meeting Minutes - Final October 17, 2016
Ronald Dickinson is requesting to rezone the property from R-20 to RAD -Conditional
for the subdivision of the subject property into two lots per the 1950's plat. The
applicant is proposing to leave the existing home on one lot and construct a new
detached single family home on the second lot.
The Planning and Zoning Board heard the zoning request at the September 12, 2016
meeting and made a recommendation for approval by a vote of 5-0 with 2 board
members absent. The subject property was originally platted as lot # 72 of the
Belmont Subdivision in 1944. In 1950, Mr. & Mrs. Adams dedicated 10' of property
along the long side of the property to the County for the creation of Adams Drive (a
public street). During that dedication and replatting, lot #72 was subdivided into two
lots. The first lot 70' by 100' and the second lot was 70' by 150'. These lots were
recorded on the plat, but were never officially recorded with the tax office to become
an official parcel of record. Since, the lots are below the minimum zoning standards
of the R-20 zoning district, the property has to be rezoned to allow for the zoning
proposal.
The Planning and Zoning Board heard the rezoning at the September 1 Z, 2016
meeting and made a recommendation for approval by a vote of 5-0.
Community Development recommends approval rezoning the subject property from
R-20 to RAD -Conditional for two detached single-family units at a density of 4.9 units
per acre with the following conditions:

The Woodberry Group is requesting the rezoning of several properties on Bell Drive
and Woodland Terrace from R-15 to RM -15 -Conditional for the development of a 48
unit townhome subdivision at a density of 12.56 units per acre.
This zoning request was tabled from the July 11, 2016 Planning and Zoning Board
meeting to the August 8, 2016 meeting. At the August 8, 2016 meeting, a vote of 6-0
with one absent by the Planning Board was made to table this item until the
September 12, 2016 Planning and Zoning Board meeting. At the September 12, 2016
Planning and Zoning Board Meeting, the Board made a recommendation for approval
by a vote of 4-1.
Community Development recommends approval.
Mayor Bacon called the Public Hearing for this item and no one came forward to
speak in favor of or in opposition to this item.
Community Development Director Ken Suddreth came forward and spoke further
about this item. He remarked that although this item had been tabled for
approximately six months it was not to be viewed in a negative aspect and instead
was done to fine tune the project as well as get clarifications. There are several
conditions, some of which were drafted by the applicant. The total number of units will
be 48 instead of the original 49 due to the tuning spoken of. The majority of the units
are off of the Bell Drive side of the properly.
The future land use plan was shown. This type of development is allowed and the
density has been more of a discussion than the zoning.
He spoke in detail about the conditions and showed the renderings and elevations of
the project. He also spoke in detail about the storm water for the property.
There were additional stipulations submitted by the applicant that Community
Development is okay with. If there is a discrepancy between our stipulations and

City Council Meeting Minutes - Final October 17, 2016
City Administrator Mike Jones reviewed the following background for this item:
This item is for the approval of the selection of Jacobs to conduct an update to the
Comprehensive Plan in accordance with the Georgia standards and procedures for
local comprehensive planning and authorize the Mayor to execute the appropriate
agreements with Jacobs to complete the update of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
The comprehensive plan update will be completed with input from the Mayor and City
Council, city staff members, city boards and commissions, interested and concerned
citizens, local businesses, and other stakeholders of the Smyrna community. Due to
the city's anticipated growth from redevelopment and other activities, the primary
objective of the comprehensive plan update is to create a consensus among the
stakeholders regarding future development within the city over the next five years,
while also looking at long-term goals for the next ten to fifteen years. It is envisioned
that the comprehensive plan update will include numerous opportunities for public
involvement throughout the planning process. Anticipated public involvement
activities may include open houses, workshops, meetings, surveys, hearings, and
other methods to gather input from stakeholder groups and present ideas prior to
adoption of the plan.
The Georgia Standards and Procedures for Local Comprehensive Planning provides
the guidelines for all jurisdictions in the State of Georgia regarding the content,
organization, analysis, map structure, and format of comprehensive plans. These
standards shall be the basis for the City of Smyrna comprehensive plan update. In
order to maintain qualified local government certification, and thereby remain eligible
for selected state funding and permitting programs, the City of Smyrna must prepare,
adopt, maintain, and implement a comprehensive plan as specified in these
standards. The Comprehensive Plan update is scheduled to be completed by
10/31/2017.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued by the City in September of 2016. Robert
and Company, The Collaborative, Jacobs and Rosser International, Inc. submitted
the qualifications of their respective consulting teams to the City Purchasing
Manager. An interview committee made up of the: Community Development Director,
Senior Planner, .Planner 11, Economic Development Manager, Planner/Inspector,
Economic Development Coordinator and Purchasing Manager conducted interviews
of the consulting teams. The interview committee, based of the professional
qualifications and experience of the consulting teams, the results of the interviews
and the nature of the study effort determined that Jacobs was best suited to conduct
the update to the Comprehensive Plan. The Purchasing Department
Recommendation is attached.
Community Development recommends that the Mayor and Council award the
contract for the update of the City's Comprehensive Plan in the amount of
$124,780.65 to Jacobs and authorize the Mayor to execute the appropriate
agreements.
Mr. Jones remarked that although Jacobs was not the lowest bid they were more in
line with what the City requested.
Community Development Director Ken Suddreth came forward and stated that the
State of Georgia requires we update the plan every 10 years and we are in that
timeframe. This was discussed during the budget cycle and this bid is lower than
what was budgeted for.
Councilmember Welch asked how much Market Street was going to do vs. Jacobs.
Market Street is an advisor to the team and they are there as the vision aspect.
A motion was made by Councilmember Doug Stoner to approve 2016-429 for a
consulting contract with Jacobs to conduct an update to the Comprehensive Plan in
the amount of $124,780.65 in accordance with the Georgia standards and
procedures for local comprehensive planning, seconded by Councilmember Ron
