(C) Annexation of property corner of Lamar Circle and Concord Road.
Jim Hawkins made a motion the 1/2 acre lot at the corner of Lamar Circle and

(D) Approval of resolution authorizing bond issue through Smyrna Housing Authority.
Attorney Camp said the resolution has still not been received from the Housing
Authority and requested this item be tabled. Joel Harrell made a motion the
resolution be tabled. Jack Shinall seconded the motion which carried 7-0.
(E) Variance request to reduce building setback lines on Atlanta Road and
Spring Road for Exxon Company.
John Patterson stated that Exxon Company was requesting two variances for their
new construction at 1420 Atlanta Road. on building setback requirements. Since
this is a double frontage lot. the ordinance requires a 50 foot setback on
the Atlanta Road and Spring Road side. Exxon is requesting approval to place
their canopy 38' 8" from Atlanta Road. a variance of II' 4"; and 31' 9" from
Spring Road, a variance of 18' 3".
Gene Ratcliff and Tim Hayes represented Exxon and said this was their st.andard
pre-engineered building and the variances would allow bet.t.er accessibility
without impeding traffic flow. Jack Shinall said this area is heavily congested
during certain hours of the day and Mr. Hays said they would be willing to
place signs at the exits eliminating left hand turns during peak hours. Also,
the acceleration/deceleration lane would be taken care of during the widening
of Atlanta Road. After further discussion Joel Harrell made a motion the variance"
be denied since it had been determined during discussion and by reviewing the
plans that the same size building with the canopy could be arranged to fit
within the setback requirements. Jim Hawkins seconded the motion which carried
7-0.
COMMERCIAL BUILDING PE~lITS:
(A) Robin Berry requested a building permit for construction of a shopping
center at 821 Concord Road at a total estimated cost. of $570,000. Jim Hawkins

12 to 15 in opposition and a spokesman was sworn in with Phil Beegle,
John Patterson said this is a 28.76 acre tract of land on Camp Highland
of a mile from South Cobb Drive. This is a wooded undeveloped area
bordered by other residential homes with Highlands Park and Laurel
the rear.
Richard Newton represented Mr. Beegle and presented a rendering of' the proposed
development. Due to the terrain of' the land there would only be 56 lots sui table
for development. Some of the property lies in the flood plain and would be
retained by the homeowners association. Mr. Newton said the minimum selling
price would be $70,000 :for each side and would be sold as owner/occupied homes
per one-half unit. A traffic count was conducted and according to their report
there will be no appreciable increase in traffic caused from the development,
and would be well within the recommended traffic flow on Camp Highland Road.
As of two weeks ago, the Board of Education reported adequate capacity for
all schools in the area. Mr. Newton said they would also agree to widen a portion
of Camp Highland Road at their expense to meet minimum standard requirements.
The minimum lot size will be 12, 500 square feet with a minimum o:f 2 bedrooms
per unit. Restrictive covenants will also be placed on the property.

William Mobley, 4880 Prince Road spoke :for the opposition and said they were
concerned about the width of Camp Highland Road which is only 16 :feet wide
:from Argo Road. The residents in the area would prefer the zoning remain Light
Industry and that it be developed under that category. After :further discussion
Kathy Brooks asked Mr. Mobley if he :felt this rezoning would do away with his
chances o:f selling his property :for commercial use and the answer was yes,
Following a question :from Hugh Ragan, Mr. Beegle said he though.t they could
build within code requirements and would not anticipate any variances. Hugh
Ragan said the Planning and Zoning Board had unanimously recommended approval
o:f the request. He understood the concern over the width o:f the road but :felt
this was a good zoning and would not unduly harm anybody; in :fact it will probably
increase surrounding property values. Hugh Ragan made a motion the rezoning
be approved with the :following stipulations:
1) Minimum lot size 12,500 square feet per one building or two units
2) Minimum 1100 square foot of :floor space per uni t with minimum o:f 2 bedrooms
per unit.
3) Maximum height, 2 story buildings
4) Minimum selling price $70,000 per one-hal:f building, or one uni t wi th a
maximum of 3.83 units per acre

door neighbor approving the variance, but indicated there was an existing problem
wi th water runof'f' f'rom the Rollo house. Mrs. Rollo said she had a problem with
water standing in her driveway when it rains but it did not go onto Mrs. Starnes'
property. Mrs. Rollo said she had been dumping water f'rom her washing machine
into the yard because the sewer line was stopped up but she planned to have
that; corrected soon. Kathy Brooks told Mrs. Rollo this was a health hazard
and the water should be going into the sewer system and this must be corrected.
Af'ter f'urther discussion Kathy Brooks made a motion the variance be granted
wi th the stipulation that gutters and downspouts installed on the carport to
pipe the water away f'rom Mrs. Starnes home; also that the washing machine be
tied into the sewer system immediately, Jim Hawkins seconded the motion which
carried 7-0.
