Rezon"in Gene Anderson requested rezoning of 4.113 acres on Concord Road at
oad from O&I to Neighborhood Shopping. Representing Mr. Anderson was Dick
Boyer, Arthur Brannen and Mitchell Brannen. Pete Wood represented a large group
audience in opposition, and was sworn in with the representatives of the
tioner. Arthur Brannen stated in their original application they had requested
General Commercial but it was turned down by the Planning and Zoning Board and
now requesting a reduction. to Neighborhood Shopping. Mr. Brannen said they
talked with several of the neighborhood people and also Mr. Ragan. Their plans
to build a small retail shopping center, similar to one they just completed
Marietta, with a turn of the century architectural design. Mr. Brannen said
they would be willing to use 30 foot buffers to protec't the homes facing the pro-
perty.

Pete Wood spoke and said the residents in the area have been opposing rezonings
on this property for the last 13 years. At one time, the cour'ts ordered that the
property be rezoned other than residential, and they preferred the existing O&I
to Neighborhood Shopping. Last April, Mr. Combs had the adjacent property rezoned
for townhomes and at that time he stated he had the ent:ire acreage under contract
and his zon:Lng was with several stipulations. Mr. Brannen stated that
Mr. Ruff actually 0 property but it is under contract. Mr. Wood said
y any stipulations made in conjunction with a rezoning would not be
tive and the homeowners were only interested in protecting their homes from
rcial development.
After further discussion, Hugh Ragan made a motion the rezoning be denied for
the following reasons,
l. Our existing land use pattern shows that this prope:r>ty should be strictly
residential.
The zoning requested will create an isolated zoning district, unrelated to
adjacent district.
3. The streets in front of this property will not handle any more traffic.
4. We have had some problem with tbe sewer lines :Ln the area and are currerttly
undergoing a sewer study to determine how many problems we do have.
5. Nothing has changed since this proeprty was last considered for rezoning in
1983.
6. The proposed rezoning will adversely affect and influence living cond:itions
in the neighborhood.
The proposed change will drastically affect property values in the area, and
1 decrease the value of adjacent property.
8. The proposed change will adversely affect the continued

along Mr. Hayes property. The other variance for setbacks is alOng the property
line from 285 that adj oins Wilson Baptist Church. However, they are trying to
dissolve the church and i1lvolved in a court case now, so they cannot officially
oppose or recommend the variance. The church is located approximately 400 to 500

Variance: Clifford Goldberg represented Television Entertainment Network in their
request to vary from the 35 foot height limitation to install a 35 foot antenna
on top of a building at Sundance at Cumberland Apartments. Mr. Goldberg said his
company is out of Washington with a region office in Atlanta, and his headquarters
now at Interstate North. They are a private cable television company, taking
signals that come from satellites, picking them up in a dish and re-transmitting
to their customers. There was some discussion about the franchise agreement the
City has with Smyrna Cable TV and Mr. Goldberg said the franchise gives Smyrna
Cable the right to use the public right of ways or easements for their equipment;
however, they did not use any right of ways or easements. Jim Tolleson asked Mr.
Camp if this would be an infringement with our contract with Smyrna Cable TV and
Mr. Camp said he could not answer that tonight. Jim Tolleson said council
represents the citizens and through the cable TV franchise, we benefit the citizens
through the taxes they pay. He personally felt it would create a detriment to
the revenues we receive from our franchise agreement.
Mr. Goldberg said their system was already installed, but they need to be up about
85 feet from ground level with the antenna and the 35 foot antenna on top of build-
ing lO, which is the highest, would be sufficient. Mayor Bacon asked why they
did not use the 100 foot tower that is already there. Mr. Goldberg said there
was a question of ownership which is now being investigated. It appears the tower
may have been abandoned and they have offered to take it down since it is an
eyesore and a dangerous nuisance.
Jim Hawkins said he would like to be sure the company has a business l:icense :in
the City and if this would affect our franchise. After further discussion, Jim
Tolleson made a motion the variance be tabled to the next meeting until some of
these questions could be resolved. Jim Hawkins seconded the motion wh:ich carried
