September 23, 1985
A special called meeting of Mayor and Council was held September 23, 1985 at
6:00 o'clock p.m., Smyrna City Hall. The meeting was called to order by Mayor
Protem Jim Hawkins. All council members were present except Jack Shinall.
The purpose of this meeting was to consider a variance request for Pearlie Elliott,
162 Davenport Street.
September 23. 1985 - Continued
Frank Newton of the Cobb County Community Development Program and Jim Payne
acted on behalf of Ms. Elliott. James Williams explained that Mrs. Elliott is
84 or 85 years old and her home is not livable. The floors have fallen in, the
plumbing doesn't work and only one power line hangs from the ceiling. Jim Payne
had approached him about moving a trailer onto the lot for the remainder of
Mrs. Elliott's life. Since we have an ordinance against trailers in the City,
James said he suggested a small house.
The property is zoned R-15 which calls for 1,150 square feet of floor area.
The house which Mr. Payne wants to build, with donations from the private sector,
will not meet the requirements for minimum square footage.
After further discussion, James Williams made a motion the variance be approved.
Max Bacon seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
James Williams made a motion the inspection fees and building permit fees be
waived. Bob Davis seconded the motion which carried 5-0. .
With no further business, meeting adjourned at 6:30 p.m.
