Page 4
Primed on 3/3/lOM7
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final February 20, 2017
Me development. He also listed several developments in the immediate area that
were also currently on that road contributing to the heavy traffic. There were many
questions he had about about this development that has not been released yet and
he noted the previous Quik -trip created terrible traffic issues for the area.
Mr. Garvis Sams, attomey for the developer and applicant was invited to the podium

no opposition to this request by the Planning and Zoning Board. He reviewed the

There was an additional question of where the entrance and exit would be located.
Mr. Alex Baclay of 3459 Shawnee Trail remarked that most of the accidents he sees
are at King Springs and South Cobb Drive. He said a development of this size is
appalling. He cannot imagine seeing four to five homes on a half -acre of his size.
This Council has to get away Brom these type of developments.
Mr. Sams remarked that what is currently there are scrub pines and it was rebutted
Mat there will be superior trees replanted in their place.
Coundlmernber Stoner made a few points starting with the previous developments
Mat have come before the Council in prior years for this property. He also asked Mr.

The applicant's architect was present as was the applicant; and was asked to come
to the podium to give additional information.
Mayor Pro Tem Anuiewk z announced the public hearing and a few attendees came
forward to be sworn in by the City Attorney Scott Cochran.
The architect came forward and reviewed the plan for the site by the owner. One of
the concems was that this is a package store with distance requirements. The
entrance has to remain in its current location to comply. Mayor Pro Tem Anulewicz
stated that the owners want to get quality businesses into this area. There are
additional stipulations regarding the types of businesses that will be precluded from
coming into this building.
The following list.'
Automobile sales, service and repair
Car Wash
Adult Novelty
Pawn Shops
Check Cashing
Truck rental, sales, service and repairs
Motorcycles sales, service and repairs
Massage Parlor
Tires sales and service
The architect noted verbally that they are agreeable to all die conditions.
The main -concem was that this was a package stone and had to be a certain distance
from residential and the current front door meets those requirements. The owner
wants to allmct good quality businesses to this property as well.
Kyle Kirkman of 941 Woodland Trail lives about 600 yards from the proposed site.
We currently have a message parlor, a used car lot, motorcycle shop and repair shop
within a stone's throw of this current location. To preclude that from the new site is
laughable. WFthin three miles there are 6 liquor stores. There is one .9 miles from the
current site. He mentioned a Harvard Study about crime stats around liquor stores.
For the past two weekends he has alerted Councilmember Susan Mi nson to
gunshots in their area and he is steadfast against this development and will fight to
the bitter end against it
Mayor Pro Tem Anulewicz spoke about the general commercial zoning currently
around this development that is in this area where someone could put a package
store or novelty shop without having to go before Planning and Zoning or the Council
currently.

Don Wrdler and he lives on Woodland Trail and he remarked that no one has spoken
to the bus stops. There are currently two school buses and there is not enough room
on this road for vehicles and no sidewalks much less school busses.
Kyle Smith, Woodland Trail resident came to the podium and stated that one of the
factors reviewed for rezoning analysis is number #8 regarding "creating a nuisance"
The development will create a nuisance since the surrounding area is residential and
not similar commercial uses as per the zoning requirements. He listed the
surrounding businesses.
He is against a liquor store for this area and it seems no research was done for this
area as to the existing businesses that are also in this area. He talked about the
hours of the liquor store as well with the other businesses dosing of approximately
Spm. The liquor store would remain open later until T 9:00pm increasing foot traffic
and car traffic. It will bring crime and loitering and the current location is packed with
the addition of 40 parking spaces. He also has spoken to Councilmember Susan
iMlkinson about this issue. He has video of individuals loitering on an adjacent closed
property. He noted there is no significant buffer between the business and the
residential properties. There are other liquor stores in the City of Smyrna do not back
up to single family residential properties. Property values would be decreased by this
type of business.
Ms. Anulewicz asked that Mr. Suddreth to come forward again to speak to the zoning
requirements.
A liquor stone can go into any of those properties that are red on the map in front of
that subdivision. The City does not single out the fact that this is a liquor store, and
this is looked at as a commercial corridor.
Councilmember Wilkinson asked if Phase 11 would continue as a carwash with the
bays. She was not understanding of how this can be a liquor store if it did meet the
requirements of the distance requirements. She was corrected by Council that it does
meet the requirements by location of the door. She also inquired if a liquor store
could go into the Belmont Hills shopping Center across the road? Mr. Suddreth
responded that in theory, yes it could.
Councilmember Fennel made an observation about the preclusion for future
development of the property.
There are nine total liquor stores allowed in the City.
Mr. Kirkman returned to the podium and asked that vape shops be added to the list of
current restricted businesses. He also stated this addition of this larger parking would
impact the residential area tremendously.
The owner of the package store was invited to the podium and was asked by Mayor
Pro tem Anulewicz if the addition of the vape shop was agreeable. He replied that he
sold cigarettes and it was decided among the Council, staff and City Attorney that the
language would be that a vape shop could not be marketed in that location to allow
for the sale of cigarettes by the liquor store.
Councilmember Wrikinson asked the applicant to speak about Phase ll. He replied
that he currently had no plans for Phase N. Phase 1 will be removal of the complete
car wash.
Mr. Fennel asked how long he had been in business in Smyrna and he replied it had
been approximately 10 years.
A motion was made by Councilmember Charles Welch to approve item 2017-22 for
the Zoning Request (Z17-001) for a rezoning from GC & R-15 to GC for a 10,000 sf
commercial building on 1.1 Acres, Land Lot 491 located at 2264 Atlanta Road by the
