Shopping Center.
Mr. Steven Connolly, Sub-Station II, Belmont Hills
John Patterson said that on January 19, 1986, Steven Connolly was charged
with selling package beer to a customer for carry out which is a violation
of Section 3-48 of the City Code since Mr. Connolly only has a pouring license.
On January 30, 1986 he pled Nolo Contendere in Recorder's Court and was found
guilty and fined $500 with conditional release for 6 months. The hearing tonight
was originally scheduled for Februry 17th but was postponed to tonight at
the request of his attorney.
William N. Robinson represented Mr. Connolly and said they were not here to
object to the Recorder's Court decision or plead not guilty of the offense.
Mr. Robinson said Mr. Connolly was guilty of the offense and did not deny
it. Mr. Robinson asked that his client be restricted as council saw fit, but
to also give him another chance by letting him keep his privilege license.
Jack Shinall said the best thing Mr. Connolly had in his favor was the police
report stating there are no known prior problems at this location. Max Bacon
said that on February 11th Mr. Connolly's license was taken and he has not
sold any alcoholic beverages since that time. Mr. Connolly stated he had lost
about $3,000 in business since his license was taken. After further discussion
Jack Shinall made a motion the pouring license at Sub-Station II be further
suspended until March 17, 1986 and that the license be placed on probation
for 12 months. If Mr. Connolly is found guilty for violations of any code
related to alcohol sales his license will be automatically and permanently
suspended, according to due process of law. Bob Davis seconded the motion
which carried 7-0.

CITIZENS INPUT: Larry Samples of' Angla Drive expressed his opposition to
the proposed route of' Phase IV of' the East/West Connector and especially
the Concord Road connector. Mr. Samples said the City cannot take any more
traf'f'ic and was very concerned that the new roadway would f'unnel a great

Smyrna citizens contact the county commissioners expressing their adamant
opposition to the construction of' any road that would empty traf'f'ic onto
the Concord Road corridor. Max Bacon said he appreciated Mr. Samples' comments
and said they had already met with John Wade f'rom Cobb County whose opinion
was that the connector would not dump any more traf'f'ic into the City but
the maj ori ty of' council disagreed with that statement. They, too, are concerned

west. Ir the zoning is approved, this property will be developed as an extension
or the park. The Planning and Zoning Board had recommended the zoning be

seconded the motion which carried 7-0.
(B) Rezoning request by Lamar J. Rose - 1000 Concord Road rrom Future Commercial
to Limited Commercial.
John Patterson said that Mr. Rose was requesting rezoning o:f the above mentioned

a more unirorm zoning. There was no opposition and the Planning and Zoning
Board had recommended approving the zoning. Mr. Hoaster said 3 o:f the lots
race South Cobb Dri ve and are currently zoned General Commercial; the other
is residential. Initially they were requesting approval to rezone the residential
lot to General Commercial, but the Planning and Zoning Board recommended
merging the lots and rezoning to Orrice/Insti tutional. Mr. Hoaster said the
only prOblem he had was that ir they decide not to build the or:fices, they
would like ror the 4 parcels to revert back to the original zoning since
Mr. Witt's rence company is presently located on the corner lot. Residents
in the area had also asked them to move the curb cut on Magbee as c lose to
South Cobb as possible and they are having the surveyor re-draw the plans
to move the drive as close to South Cobb as possible. about 170 reet :from
the right or way. They will also meet buf':fer requirements on the side adj acent

ror a reduction in the rront building setbacks on the above mentioned lots
~rom 25 to 18 reet, due to the topography or the land. There was no opposition.

not need the variance on lots 52 and 53 and they have already begun construction
on those lots. There was some discussion about the possible need f'or a retaining

responsibility f'or f'uture problems that may need correcting as a result of'
the variance. Mr. Logel said the lots are inspected by FHA and f'elt they
would be acceptable. He would gladly consider signing an agreement, but would

and did not realize until now that Mr. Tovi would have storage at his home.
Kathy Brooks said she would like to table the license to give Mr. Tovi time
to make other arrangements. A~ter ~urther discussion Chuck Camp said that
