Rezoning: John J. and Annette Lanning requested rezoning of 3471 South Cobb Drive
from Future Commercial to Limited Commercial. There was no opposition from the aud-
ience. Lanning said they wanted to sell the property for a beauty shop, but
if not, would have a pet grooming business there. Jim Hawkins said his only concern
was that the plans showed the entrance from Oakdale Drive which is all residential.
lVIrs. Lanning said at present that was the only driveway, but they would be willing
to have a curb cut on South Cobb Drive and close the one on Oakdale. Jim Hawkins
advised heX' to contact Mr. Broyles about an application for a curb cut and reminded
her that all the parking area must be asphalted and to also allow fOr required buf-

Set Millage Rate: Jim Hawkins stated we have held off on setting the millage rate
for 1983-84 due to the reassessments by the county, which range from 6% to 35%. At
the present rate of 13.25 the city would have collected quite a bit of money over
what was budgeted. Due to the variation in assessments, it would be impossible to
lower the rate to give everyone the same reduction. The recommended rate is 11.50
which will cause a reduction in some tax bills, while others will still increase.
Jim said the older homes seemed to have the higher reassessments. Also, the 11.50
rate will be $13,600 less than what was projected in tax revenues for the new budget.
Jim Hawkins made a motion the millage rate for 1983-84 be set at 11.50. Jim Tolleson
seconded the motion.

Committee Reports: (Water) Jim Tolleson made a motion the rules be suspended to
place a motion on the floor. Max Bacon seconded the motion which carried 7-0. Jim
Tolleson read a letter from the Sanitation Department requesting permission to move
the dumpster located at the City dump to the office on Smyrnahill Road which would
be more convenient for the citizens and would save the City $3,200 per year. Mr.
James Turnipseed from the audience asked to speak. Mr. Turnipseed said he had called
the sanitation department several times to pick up some limbs and leaves. They never
picked them up and on Saturday he took a load to the dump. When he went back the
second time at 3:45, it was closed and the gate locked. Mr. Turnipseed said he called
the police station but no one knew where the key was. Vic Broyles said that even
though the dump is supposed to be open until 4:00 on Saturday, more than likely the
dumpster was already full and when this happens, they close it rather than have people
dump trash on the ground.
Jim Tolleson made a motion approval be given to move the dumpster to Springhill Road.
Max Bacon seconded the motion which carried 7-0.
(Finance) Jim Hawkins made a motion the rules be suspended to place a motion on
the floor. Jack Shinall seconded the motion which carried 7-0.

made a motion that Willouise Spivey be authorized to open a separate account Which

and Jim Tolleson. Also present was City Attorney Charles E. Camp, City Clerk Willouise

September 19, 1983 - Continued
Rezoning: Henry G. Kal b requested rezoning of 7.8 acres in Land Lots 607 and 618
from Residential to Light Industry. Mr. Kalb and Mary Stewart, representing the oppo-
sition, were sworn in by Attorney Camp. Mr. Kalb said this property wali'l located at
4884 Argo Road about 1 mile west of South Cobb Drive. If rezoned, traffic to the
property would be from South Cobb Drive to Camp Highland Road, to Argo Road and there
would not be any traffic through Kenwood Subdivision. Mr. Kalb said there is already
a lot of traffic on Argo Road :from Kenwood School, and also a lot of qlJestionable
activities taking place around the school. His property adjoins the Highlands Indus-
trial Park which is also zoned industrial. Mr. Kalb presented proposed plans and
said he anticipated the development to be used for an office distributional center
for small businesses. Allen Road separates his property from the industrial park
but it not a dedicated street. Jim Hawkins asked Mr. Kalb if he would develop
the property himself or sell it. Mr. Kalb said he would probably sell, but may develop
it himself.
Mary Stewart said the homeowners on Argo Road were already engulfed by industry and
bothered by the noise and smoke. Mrs. Stewart said if this property is rezoned, they
would like some assurance that the same buffers will be required as the industrial
park.
Mayor Bacon read the minutes from the Planning and Zoning Board meeting where they
recommended the zoning be approved. With reference to the bu:ffers, Attorney Camp
said our ordinance requires certain buffers but these will not be as large as the
Highland Park buffers because theirs would exceed our ordinance. M:t'. Kalb said he
would have a 50 foot buf:fer according to our ordinance and they could not increase
that due to the lot size.
