July 1, 1985
The regular scheduled meeting of Mayor and Council was held pursuant to the
Charter on July 1, 1985 at Smyrna City Hall. The meeting was called to order
at 7:30 o'clock p.m. by presiding officer Mayor Arthur T. Bacon. All Council
members were present. Also present was City Attorney Charles E. Camp, City
Clerk Willouise Spivey, City Administrator John Patterson, Police Chief R.
E. Little, Fire Chief Larry Williams, Assistant City Clerk Melinda Dameron,
Parks Superintendent Jimmy Hinson, Public Works Director Vic Broyles, Emergency
Management Director Jim Farley, Civil Engineer Mike Hutchinson, Building Inspector
Scott Stokes, Librarian Doris Morris, and representatives of the press.
Mayor Bacon introduced John Patterson, who gave the invocation and led the
pledge to the flag.
There were no citizens reports.
Hearing Recorder's Court Appeal: Sharon Burruss appealed the decision of
Recorder's Court of June 13, 1985, where she was found guilty of running a
stop sign and fined $45.00. Mrs. Burruss and arresting officer Gordon Crawford
were sworn in by Attorney Camp. Mrs. Burruss said she received the ticket in
May and pled not guilty when she went before Judge Reeves. Mrs. Burruss said
she came to a full stop at the sign because she saw the police car. Also, she
did not feel she received a fair trial because the judge had very little to
say before he fined her. Mrs. Burruss said there was a car in front of her
which came to a full stop and she also came to a full stop when she approached
the sign.
Mrs. Burruss's daughter Tracy was also sworn in by Attorney

Officer Crawford said the Police Department had started extra patrols in the
Creatwood Trail area following complaints from residents there. Officer Crawford
said he was sitting about 75 yards south of Creatwood Trail and Mohawk Trial
when he observed a car approaching the intersection and slow down, and proceed
without stopping. He immediately turned on his blue lights and turned around
and by the time he caught up with the car, she was at the Mackinaw intersection,
where the car was pulled over and given a citation for the offense. Officer
Crawford said he could see the intersection clearly and his view was not obstructed
in any way. Mr. Camp asked Officer Crawford how he determined if a car had
come to a full stop and he stated a complete stop is when all movement on the
car ceases. After further discussion Jim Hawkins made a motion the decision
of Recorder's Court be overturned. Jim said Mrs. Burruss only traveled a few
feet and by the officers own statement, she was barely moving and felt she
should receive the benefit of the doubt. Max Bacon seconded the motion and
said he felt the $45 fine was a little severe for a first offense. Jack Shinall
said he agreed the amount of the fine was a little high but it was hard to
draw the line on the drivers intent in a case like this. Vote on the motion
carried 5-2, with Jack Shinall opposed and Hugh Ragan abstaining.

Variance: Shell Oil Company requested a variance on front and rear setback
requirements for new construction at 2875 South Cobb Drive. There were several
in opposition and Fred Culbreth with Shell Oil was sworn in with James Newton
representing the oppositon. Mr. Culbreth said they were requesting a variance
from 50 feet to 3 feet on the front setback line for their gas canopy which
will actually be in the same location as the existing canopy. They were originally
asking for variance to the rear for the new building to come approximately
3 feet, closer to the property line than the existing one. However, after talking
to the neighbors they felt the additional 3 feet would not be tolerable and
they had agreed to not place the building any closer to th~ line than the existing
building. Mr. Culbreth said they would like to remove the old building and
place an attractive pre-engineered building on the site with a 6 foot stockade
fence along the entire rear property line. Also, the lighting will be changed
for the benefit of the adjoining neighbors. Mr. Culbreth said that the two
curb cuts on South Cobb Drive would be reduced to one for safety reasons.
July 1, 1985 - Continued
James Newton of Stonecreek Road represented the opposition and said their main
concern was the creek and the problems they have had with it in the past. When
the Jim Wallace station was built, it was over the line and Mr. Newton said
they were opposed to any variance to the rear. If the building is moved closer
to South Cobb Drive it will give the City more room to dredge without having
to go onto their property. Also, it seemed that this would be a good time to
correct the error made when the existing building was built on the line. Mr.
Camp said that we can I t force them to move the existing building back, council
can either grant or deny the variance and if it is denied, they will use the
existing structure. After further discussion, Mr. Culbreth said they may be
able to move the building forward but he would have to do some additional
engineering work before he could give a definite answer. Jack Shinall made
a motion the variance be tabled to the next meeting and also set up a meeting
with Shell Oil and adjoining property owners for July 2nd at 6:00 p.m. Jim
Hawkins seconded the motion which carried 5-2, with Hugh Ragan and Max Bacon
opposed.
o
At the last meeting a request by Sean Key for approval of a kiosk at two locations
for a Tropical Sno dealership was tabled and Mr. Key was asked to submit plans
of the proposed buildings with the parking area drawn and the location of the
temporary utility poles. Kathy Brooks said the plans were not received and
we have heard nothing from Mr. Key. Jim Hawkins made a motion the request be
denied. Jack Shinall seconded the motion which carried 7-0.
Commercial building permits: Commercial building permits were presented by
Inspector Scott Stokes and recorded as follows:

American Realty Construction requested approval for use of a construction trailer
at Country Park Condominiums at 2300 Spring Road. Bob Davis made a motion the
permit be approved for 12 months. Jim Hawkins seconded the motion which carried
7-0.
Max Bacon said that on October 15, 1984, a variance was approved for Charles
Miller for construction of a shopping center at the intersection of Spring
and Atlanta Road. At that time, he indicated that construction would start
immediately if the variance was approved. Nothing has been done so far, and
it appears that he has no intention of developing the property and we have
also heard that Exxon is purchasing the property. Max said it appears the variance
was obtained under false pretenses and would like to notify Mr. Miller that
a show cause hearing would be held on July 15th to consider rescinding the
variance.

Also on October 15, 1984, a variance was approved for D I Li tes of America for
new construction on South Cobb Drive in front of Kroger Shopping Center and
it also appears that they will not build there. Max Bacon made a motion that
both of these parties be notified of a show cause hearing to be held July 15,
1985 to consider rescinding the two variances. Jack Shinall seconded the motion
for discussion and said that Mr. Miller was specific about what he was going
to do on the property and it appears he has no intention of developing it.

Commercial Sanitation Increases: James Williams said at the June 17th meeting
council approved a $2.00 increase to residential customers for garbage pickup.
Tonight, he would like to propose an overall 17.25% increase in commercial
accounts, also due to the increase by Cobb County. James also said this would
be an amendment to the contract with BFI that this increase is a substitution
for any other rate increase through December 31, 1987. James Williams made
a motion the increases be approved. Max Bacon seconded the motion which carried

Max Bacon stated the City purchased a curbing machine about IJ:! years ago and
it has not operated to our satisfaction. The person we bought it from has filed
bankruptcy proceedings and we have gone as far as litigation to try to get
our money back. We have recently had some interest from people who want to
purchase the curber. Max Bacon made a motion the curber be declared surplus
wi th bids to be returned at the next meeting. Jack Shinall seconded the motion
which carried 7-0. Attorney Camp said the bankruptcy proceedings would stop
all legal action against the company and the city could spend more money in
legal fees than they could recoup.

July 15, 1985
The regular scheduled meeting of Mayor and Council was held July 15, 1985 at
Smyrna City Hall. The meeting was called to order at 7:30 o'clock p.m. by presiding
officer Mayor Arthur T. Bacon. All Council members were present. Also present

Mayor Bacon said his illness had been diagnosed in March this year and he realized
that when you are sick you may have a bad outlook on life. Mayor Bacon said
he would like to apologize if he had embarrassed or insulted anyone and was
happy to report that the cancer had been arrested.
Variance: Shell Oil Company requested a variance on front and rear setbacks
for new construction at 2875 South Cobb Drive. Fred Culbreth representing Shell
Oil and James Newton representing the opposition were sworn in by Attorney
Camp. Jack Shinall said he had met on the site with Mr. Culbreth and several
of the homeowners. At that time, Mr. Culbreth agreed to move the building forward
6 feet but there were some other concerns of the neighbors. Mr. Culbreth said
Shell was requesting the front setback be reduced from 50 feet to 3 feet and U
also to reduce the rear setback from 50 to 30 feet. The request was tabled
on June 17th and also on July 1st because the opposition felt the building
was still too close to the rear property line. He had met with the neighbors
on July 2nd, and by sacrificing square footage and marketing space, met their
request to move the building 6 feet further away from the rear property line.
Mr. Culbreth said they now want a 12 foot screen fence along the rear of the
building, and Shell Oil felt the additional request was excessive.
James Newton said at the first meeting, Mr. Culbreth had agreed to leave the
existing buffer as is and there had been very little communication since then.
They were unanimously opposed to any variance at this time, because of the
continuing problems they have had with the creek and would like for them to
live up to their promise to not disturb the buffer. Mr. Newton requested that
the variance request be denied, and if they want to build, they could buy a
portion of their adj oining property and let them worry about the problems with
the creek. Mr. Newton said they have spent years hauling in dirt and replanting
trees to try and correct the problem.
Mr. Culbreth said he stood by his statement that the buffer would not be touched
because he would be moving the entire building forward an additional 6 feet.
They had also planned extensive landscaping to the property and didn't plan
to dredge or relocate the creek; it will remain as it is now. Originally, they
were asking to vary from 50 feet to 30 feet on the rear, but now were only
asking for an 11 foot encroachment to construct a building that would definitely
enhance the property.

After further discussion, Jack Shinall said that both sides have very legitimate
arguments but this is a variance to our ordinance and made a motion the variance
request be denied. Kathy Brooks seconded the motion which carried 7-0.
Show Cause Hearing: Max Bacon said that in October, 1984, a variance was granted
to Mr. Charles Miller for construction of a shopping center at the southeast
corner of Spring & Atlanta Road. To date, construction has not begun and tonight
we have a building permit for Exxon, who purchased the property from Mr. Miller,
who no longer has any interest in it. Max said he has not seen the plans for
Exxon and does not know if they will require the variance. Mr. Miller was not
present and there were no comments from the audience and Max Bacon made a motion
the variance approved October 15, 1984, be rescinded. James Williams seconded
the motion which carried 7-0. In addition to the variance being approved, Max
said there were some additional agreements made between Mr. Miller and the
property owners on Atlanta Terrace.
...J
Jim Hawkins said also on October 15, 1984, a variance on the front setback
requirements was approved for Mr. John Goss representing D'Lites of America.
Jim Hawkins read a letter from Mr. Goss stating that D'Lites of America did
not purchase the property and had no obj ections to the variance being rescinded.
There were no comments from the audience and Jim Hawkins made a motion the
variance approved October 15, 1984, be rescinded, seconded by Max Bacon. Jim
Hawkins said it also seems that Mr. Goss made application when he should not
have because he did not own the property at the time. Jim said he thought we
should have the property owners present when a variance is being considered.
Vote on the motion carried 7-0.
Rezoning: John Dickson represented Louie M. Biship in his request to rezone
property at 1026 Concord Road from residential to Limited Commercial. There
was no opposition from the audience. Carol Cannon also represented the applicant
and said she had purchased the property and would use it for a catering service.
They will be taking orders by phone and delivering, mostly for weddings. Every-
thing will be special orders, with no retail sales. In response to a question
from Jim Hawkins, Ms. Cannon said she would be agreeable to placing a 4 foot
wooden fence along the rear of the property. Mayor Bacon said the building
inspector would also be inspecting the site to be sure they were in compliance
with our parking requirements. The Planning and Zoning Board had recommended
the zoning be approved and Jim Hawkins made a motion the rezoning be approved
as requested. Max Bacon seconded the motion which carried 7-0.

for this work and the total bid was a little over $10,000. Mr. Patterson recommended
that the scope of the proj ect be limited to the portion relating to the SAA
building which is a service road to the north side of the property. The bid
for this portion of the work is $5,877 and Mr. Patterson recommended the bid
be awarded to Black Top Paving at $5,877. Jim Hawkins made a motion the bid
be awarded, seconded by Max Bacon. Vote on the motion carried 7-0.

Max Bacon said everyone was aware of the problem we are having with the Seaboard
Railroad in the Argyle Estates Subdivision. It has been discussed with the
City Attorney and people from the County and we need assistance from the Federal
government. John Patterson said we are probably to the point that we need to
monitor the conditions. The EPD and EPA will monitor the smoke and the Federal
Railroad Administration can install a decibel meter to monitor the noise level
.1 which will also require the cooperation of the residents' there. Max Bacon made
a motion that John Patterson be authorized to contact the EPA, EPD and Federal
Railroad Administration for their assistance in monitoring these conditions.
Bob Davis seconded the motion which carried 7-0.

one section of street which was cut off from the old right of way and the new
right of way was moved over several feet, at the end of Turpin Road. The City
has paved that section, but we do not own it nor do we have an easement. The
actual owner discovered we were using property which we do not own. Their proposal
is to trade us the right of way we are now using for another similar piece
of property that we had left when the right of way was permanently established.
They will give us a quitclaim deed this week, after the documents are executed.
James Williams made a motion a portion of the right of way at the end of Turpin
Road be exchanged and the Mayor be authorized to sign the conveyance deed.
Jim Hawkins seconded the motion which carried 7-0.
Executive Golf, Inc. Tom Rogers with the law firm of Moore & Rogers represented
Executive Golf, Inc. and stated they were now very close to having their financing
arrangements for construction of the golf course. They have obtained a letter
of inducement from the Development Authority of Cobb County to issue bonds
in the amount of $1,500,000 to finance construction but they need Council approval
of an agreement to substitute the Development Authority for the original
Concessionaire, Executive Golf, Inc. Mayor Bacon said he was concerned with
the City's liability in the event Executive Golf should go bankrupt and Chuck
Camp also asked if there was an attornment agreement in the event of any breech.
Following discussion, Jim Hawkins said we have seen nothing in writing and
asked Mr. Rogers to meet with Chuck Camp and John Patterson to finalize their
plans and have something in writing for council to stUdy. Jim also said they
did not want to delay them or cause any undue hardship and we would have a
special called meeting if necessary to approve their request. Hugh Ragan also
said he would like to see a listing of the differences discussed tonight as
opposed to the original agreement.
