October 18, ]982
The regular scheduled meeting of Mayor and Council was held October 18, 1982 at
Smyrna City Hal]. The meeting was called to order at 7:30 o'clock p.m. by
presiding officer Mayor Arthur T. Bacon. AI] Council members were present except
James Williams, who was out of town. Also present was City Attorney Charles Camp,
City Clerk Willouise Spivey, Police Chief R. E. Little, Acting Fire Chief Hubert
Cochran, Public Works Director Jim David, Civil Defense Director Jim Farley,
Librarian Doris Morris and representatives of the press.
Invocation was given by Reverend Harris Fennel] of the Smyrna Assembly of God,
followed by the pledge to the flag.
Mayor Bacon Introduced Don Jones, candidate for State Court Judge and Cody Holman,
candidate for State Senate and welcomed them to the meeting.
Presentation: Sarah Jones presented a plaque to Jim Brooks, who resigned from
the Parks and Recreation Commission. The plaque was in appreciation of his faith-
fu] service from October 1979 to September 1982.
Citizen Reports: Mrs. Callene Calvert of 2]44 Kennesaw Way said that two weeks
ago a car came into her yard with a Cobb County police car behind it. The driver
was charged with Driving Under the Influence, driving with no license, and the
car was towed away. The officer then told her family that they would be arrested
for harboring a fugitive. Later, members of the Smyrna and Cobb County Police
Departments came with a search warrant and said she had been dealing with narcotics
and stolen merchandise. Mrs. Calvert showed pictures to council of the mess they
made in searching her home, and said they confiscated Jewe]ry, guns and other Items.
Elbert Coalson said Mrs. Calvert was in his ward and he had talked with her about
the Incident. He turned the report over to James Williams who Is Chairman of the
Public Safety Committee, but Mr. Williams has been out of town and not able to
contact her. Mayor Bacon told Mrs. Calvert he would come to her home tomorrow
morning, and felt this should be looked into pretty thoroughly.
Mike Montgomery, a resident of Church Road complained about the new development
adjacent to his property, Hunting Trace. Mr. Montgomery said he was having a
very bad problem with water runoff onto his property and the developers are not
living up to their commitment, or building according to the plans that were
approved. Mr. Montgomery said that Vlc Broyles had already been out to the site
and agreed that the water runoff was bad, but said there was nothing the City
could do at this point. Mayor Bacon asked Jim David and Vic Broyles to meet with
Mr. Montgomery early the next day to see what could be done.

Variance: Fred M. Shope requested a variance for his property on Spring annexed
and rezoned tonight. Mr. Joe Boling said he would construct the building and
presented plans to Mayor and Council. The ordinance calls for a 50 foot buffer
on the side yard abutting residential property and they were asking to vary to
a 10 foot buffer. Mr. Boling said the extra footage would be needed for parking
and later on they may want to add onto the building. Jim Hawkins said that the
request as stated, was to vary from 50 feet to 40 feet and they would not be
able to act on this request tonight. Mr. Boling said he did not realize the
letter was Incorrect, but what they need is a variance from 50 feet to ]0 feet.
Jack Shinall made a motion this variance be tabled to the next meeting, to allow
Mr. Shope to reapply for the variance needed. Max Bacon seconded the motion
which carried by a 6-0 vote.
Variance: Afton Downs requested a variance of one foot three Inches on the
front building setback line for Jot 60. A representative for Afton Downs said
the building was built over the line in error and they don't know if the survey
was wrong, or if the pins were moved. At the time of closing It was brought to
their attention that the building was over the 1 ine. Max Bacon made a motion the
variance be granted and Mr. Minchew fined $200 for the building violation. Jack
Shinall seconded the motion which carried 5-1, with Jim Tol]eson opposed.
There were no commercial building permits to bring before council.
Business License: A publ ic hearing was held to consider the request by David
R. Sweat for a business license to operate A.A.A. Cab Company In the City. There
was no opposition. Mr. Wi]]iam Rogers asked if the City had ordinances and
requirements for cab companies to comply with. and the answer was yes. Jack
Shinall made a motion the business license be granted, seconded by Elbert Coalson.
Vote on the motion carried 6-0.
Mayor Bacon read a letter from Harris Fennell, Pastor of Smyrna Assembly of God,
requesting permfssion to use mobile housing during their new construction at
4200 King Springs Road as follows:
1. One mobile building not larger than 14' x 72' for the purpose of
temporary offices to be used for the church staff on a daily basis.
2. One mobile building 24' x 60' to be used for smaller meetings of the
church and for storage.
3. One mobile building not larger than 12' x 40' to be used as a construction
superintendent's office and storage.
Mr. Fennel] said they would need these facilities for about a year beginning on
or about January 1, 1983. During construction, their regular Sunday worship
services will be conducted at a nearby school.
Attorney Camp said this council could not approve a request such as this to ex-
tend beyond December 31, 1983. and should be granted effective January]. 1983
