10-17-1994 Regular MeetingOctober 17, 1994 The regularly scheduled meeting of Mayor and Council was held October 17, 1994, at Smyrna City Hall. The meeting was called to order by presiding officer Mayor A. Max Bacon at 7:30 o'clock p.m. All council members were present. Also present was City Administrator Bob Thomson, City Clerk Melinda Dameron, City Attorney Charles E. Camp, Assistant Fire Chief Jimmy Bivins, Finance Director Jim Triplett, Assistant Public Works Director Ray Curtis, Major Kent Sims of the Police Department, Library Director Laurel Best, Parks and Recreation Director Steve Ciaccio, Community Relations Director Kathie Barton, Clean and Beautiful Coordinator Ann Kirk, Personnel Officer Chris Corey, City Engineer Ken Hildebrandt, Chief Building Official Scott Stokes and representatives of the press. Invocation was given by Ed Clack, Sr., pastor of Central Baptist Church, followed by the pledge to the flag. Mayor Bacon asked Councilman Ron Newcomb to read a proclamation honoring Poppy Day. Mayor Bacon asked the members of the American Legion Women's Auxiliary who were present to come forward. A representative came forward to accept the proclamation recognizing Poppy Day and received donations from each of the council members. CITIZENS INPUT: Mayor Bacon asked if there were any citizens present who would like to comment during the Citizens input section of the meeting. Mayor Bacon recognized Joan Morris who was present on behalf of the Friends of the Smyrna Library and asked that everyone support their group at the upcoming Fall Festival, October 22 and 23, by visiting the book sale booth. Ms. Morris also announced there will be a meeting of the Friends of the Smyrna Library on October 20 at 7:30 p.m. and urged all interested persons to attend. Mayor Bacon recognized Ken Nichols, candidate for the House of Representatives, District 29, office. Mr. Nichols reminded everyone that the election is only three weeks away and urged everyone to vote .their convictions. Mr. Nichols announced he will end his campaign after the election on November 8 at Howard's and invited everyone to attend. He also announced he supports the City's referendum to build a new public safety facility which is on the ballot for November 8 and congratulated the city for accepting the grant from the Federal Government to help the police department. Mayor Bacon recognized Marnie Stampley who asked about Amendment 6 of the proposed revision to the land use map. Mayor Bacon told Ms. Stampley that item would be discussed during the regular council member and she would have an opportunity to speak during that portion of the meeting. Mayor Bacon recognized Randy Deremer, 1220 Pinehurst Circle, who had questions about his recent tax bill. Mr. Deremer specifically asked how his tax dollars are used by the city and wondered about some of the benefits he received for his tax dollars. He also indicated he thought the police and fire services were similar to what the county provides to unincorporated Cobb. Mayor Bacon responded the tax dollars are used for more than fire and police protection and is used for other things. He also explained the city residents receive a break on the county taxes as they pertain to the fire district due to our excellent fire rating. Mayor Bacon also stated that the city has been attempting to have the county establish a police tax district which would relieve the tax payers of Smyrna from having to pay taxes on services they don't receive from Cobb County. Mayor Bacon then stated that basically the taxes are used for police and fire protection, public works issues, parks and recreation, library, community center, roads, water and sewer, etc. Mr. Deremer stated he thought the amount of the tax dollars compared to the breaks he receives from Cobb County are excessive. Councilman Wood asked Mr. Deremer what he meant by the breaks he receives from Cobb County. Mr. Deremer replied that based on a $100,000 home, the break is only equal to about $90 and the Smyrna tax amount is equal to approximately $450. Councilman Wood then asked Mr. Deremer what he receives from the county versus what he receives from the city. Mr. Deremer then stated that is what he was trying to understand the difference in what he pays in taxes as opposed to one of his neighbors who lives in unincorporated Cobb County. Councilman Wood stated Cobb County does provide certain services as does Smyrna but indicated the County does not provide fifteen parks in the city of Smyrna, a library comparable to the city library, a October 17 1994, meeting - continued community center and their response time for emergency vehicles is much greater than the city is able to provide. Mayor Bacon stated he also pays Cobb County taxes for services he does not receive as a resident of the City of Smyrna. He also stated he has no problem paying city taxes as he knows he will receive those services from the city. Mr. Deremer stated his county taxes, excluding schools, were only $210. The, council then asked Mr. Deremer what services he received from the county. Mr. Deremer stated he assumed the roads were provided by Cobb County. The council responded the roads in the city of Smyrna are maintained by the City and are not provided by Cobb County. Councilman Lnenicka stated an article was published in the Atlanta Journal in May of this year that cited police response time in Metro -Atlanta and the response time for the city of Smyrna was much faster than that of the Cobb County response time. Mr. Lnenicka stated the quicker response time had nothing to do with the qualifications of the officers, it simply had to do with the density of the officers per square mile which is much higher in the City because the city funds the extra officers in order to provide quicker response time. He also indicated the emergency services in the city of Smyrna are more available to city residents than in the county. Mr. Deremer thanked the Mayor and council for their information and asked if he could meet with someone later to discuss the matter a little more in detail. Councilman Hawkins indicated he would be glad to meet with Mr. Deremer. Councilman Hawkins stated he would like to share an advantage of living in the city of Smyrna with Mr. Deremer. He then indicated he had a petition from the people who live on Pinehurst Drive and Pinehurst Circle who requested a four-way stop sign at the intersection of Pinehurst Circle/Pinehurst Drive and King Springs Road. Mr. Hawkins stated the request was made at the October 3 council meeting and it is an item for approval on tonight's agenda. Mr. Hawkins stated the situation of city residents paying dual taxes is found all through the United States and stated the City of Smyrna was chartered in 1878 and the county was formed in 1834 and the only thing counties in Georgia were formed to do was to maintain a county road system, court system, sheriff's department and that is all counties were required to do under Georgia law. He then stated local communities, such as Smyrna, at some point in their past decided they wanted to group together as a community and provide their own services and received a charter from the State which allowed them to tax their citizens in order to provide those services. Mr. Hawkins stated the county was authorized by the legislature in the 1950's to collect taxes for the services outlined above and the duplication of taxes is an issue that should be resolved at the Legislature. Mr. Hawkins also stated this issue has been brought up during numerous legislative sessions and has always been defeated by the Legislators. He also stated the City was collecting taxes for services long before the county was authorized to do so. PUBLIC HEARINGS: (A) Variance Request - 2482 Spring Road - Chain Link Fence in Front Yard Mr. Thomson stated National Auto Sales is requesting this variance because of theft problems. He then stated Mr. Peterson, the applicant, states in his letter of hardship they have had some thefts that he feels a front fence or enclosure would solve. Mayor Bacon asked if Mr. Peterson was present and announced this is a public hearing and asked if there was anyone present in opposition to the granting of this variance request. Mayor Bacon recognized a group of citizens and asked if they had a spokesperson. Mayor Bacon then asked those who wished to speak during this portion of the meeting to step forward and be sworn in by City Attorney Charles E. Camp. Mayor Bacon asked Mr. Peterson to explain why he was requesting this variance. Mr. Peterson explained he is asking for permission to chain link fence his back area and come around with a chain fence in the front in order to secure his property. He then stated he has had a lot of theft problems on the back side of his property by people who are able to enter the property from the back. He stated he is simply trying to deter that. He also stated he has put lights on the lot which has helped some but is still losing property on the back side of his lot. He further stated the zoning is such that all he can fence is a small portion of the back yard therefore limiting the space he has in the back and all he is asking is to be allowed to utilize the back area and not cut it in two with a fence. October 17, 1994, meetiniz - continued Councilman Newcomb asked for the purpose of clarification if his place of business is on a corner lot and Mr. Peterson responded that was correct. Mr. Newcomb then stated the Ordinance says that the side of Mr. Peterson's property facing both of those streets is considered a front yard and therefore he is requesting a variance to put up a fence in the "front yard"; that is on one of the streets which would be on the Woodruff Drive side not Spring Road. He then asked Mr. Peterson what he proposed to do on the Spring Road side. Mr. Peterson responded he would like to erect a fence with 3' posts with chains through them and that it would be more of a decorative type fence. Councilman Newcomb asked Mr. Stokes if that proposal for the front would require a variance and Mr. Stokes responded it would not. Mayor Bacon asked Mr. Peterson if he was having problems with people stealing the cars and Mr. Peterson responded he had lost about five cars from that lot. Mr. Peterson then explained that was the purpose of putting up a fence because the people are coming in from the back side because the building hides them from the street. Councilman Newcomb asked Mr. Peterson about the Spring Road front, where he is proposing to put a decorative fence, what is the purpose of that fence. Mr. Peterson responded that would secure the lot in the front and would prevent anyone from driving the cars out; it would not prevent anyone from entering the lot from the front. Councilman Lnenicka then asked Mr. Peterson if that type fencing would be appropriate for the entire lot. Mr. Peterson indicated it would not and stated the cost of the "decorative fence" is much higher than the chain link fence. City Attorney Chuck Camp asked if the 10' alley behind the property would continue to exist. Mr. Peterson responded it would and they would fence right up to the alley. Councilman Lnenicka asked how far down on Woodruff Drive would the chain go. Mr. Peterson stated he was proposing to go with a 6' chain fence down through the trees on the Woodruff Drive side and going with a 6' chain link fence for a short period and then going with a 4' for approximately twenty feet and then pick up with the chain. Councilman Lnenicka then asked how far from either Spring Road or the front of the building would that chain start or would it be chain all the way down the side of the building, or would it be chain link all the way up to the corner. Mr. Peterson responded he has a parking area and a grassy area and the chain link would basically go on the grassy area then he would put up the poles with chains around the front. Mr. Lnenicka asked him if he knew approximately how many feet that would be and Mr. Peterson responded he did not but it should be indicated on the plat in the package. Councilman Newcomb stated the Mayor and Council just recently passed an Ordinance that is affecting Mr. Peterson. One is to define a corner lot is having two front streets and also to say that people can not put chain link fences in the front yard. He further stated the only reason such a variance would be considered would be if the hardship was very overwhelming and he frankly did not feel that was the case in this instance. Mr. Newcomb stated he did not understand why the fence he proposed for the Spring Road side would not be suitable for the other side as well. Mr. Peterson stated it would secure the property from people driving cars off but would not secure the property from people coming in off the street stealing tires, radios and those types of things on the back part of the property. He stated he was simply trying to keep people off the back part of the property. Mr. Peterson stated he has a repair maintenance facility located on the back portion of the property and that he performs maintenance on all cars before they are placed on the lot for sale and it is not uncommon to have as many as fifteen cars in different stages of repair on the back part of the lot. He then stated he has probably lost as many as thirty to forty radios in the two years he has been in business and has had several cars vandalized. Mr. Bill Carroll, past president of Hampton Place Homeowners Association which consists of the only residences on Woodruff Drive, stated the subject property serves as the front yard to those residences. Mr. Carroll stated they have no problem with the chain, per se, going around the perimeter of the property but they do have a problem with a chain link fence. Mr. Carroll stated the Mayor and Council as well as the residents on Spring Drive have been working diligently and trying to improve and enhance the Spring Road area and he is very encouraged with the progress they have made so far and feels this action would be a reversal of what they are trying to achieve. Mr. Carroll further stated the Spring Road Improvement Group has talked about extending the architectural guidelines that are within the downtown area and applying them to the Spring Road area. He stated he was sure the elected body would not want October 17, 1994, meeting - continued chain link fences installed in the downtown area. He further stated he hoped the citizens would support the 1% road tax referendum which would allow Spring Road to become a nice four -lane boulevard with a center median which will enhance and improve the applicant's business and hopefully he will realize there is no need for a chain link fence. Mr. Carroll also stated he felt there was too much repair work being done on the subject lot and stated he did not feel the neighbors needed a fenced in repair area with a guard dog and felt it was the wrong step to be taken. Mr. Carroll then presented the Mayor with a petition signed by fifteen of the residents who are against the fence and asked the council for their support in denying this request. Mr. Peterson stated they have no intention of encompassing the entire lot in fences or putting a guard dog in the lot. He further stated all he is trying to do is secure the back part of the property. He then stated the Kindercare located behind him does have a chain link fence going down the frontage of Woodruff Drive such as what he is requesting to install and that he is not looking at doing anything as far as unsightliness to the property or anything like that. He also stated the cars he is working on are his cars and that he has two lots for which he supplies cars. Councilman Lnenicka asked Mr. Peterson if there was any other style of fence, either wood or metal or any other type, other than chain link that could be used. He also asked if there was some other type of fence on the frontage of Woodruff Drive that would be more attractive and less objectionable and yet still allow him to secure the back portion of his lot. Mr. Peterson stated he would assume he could put up a 6' fence or some other type of fence but the plain chain link fence is the most economical. Councilman Newcomb that would not be permissible as 48" is the height limit that would be allowed. Councilman Scoggins asked Mr. Peterson how close his property is to Auto Cool on Spring Road. Mr. Peterson stated he is approximately two miles from that location. Councilman Lnenicka asked Mr. Peterson if a four foot wooden fence would do the same thing as what he is requesting. Mr. Peterson responded it would not as people would just hop over the fence. Councilman Lnenicka asked Major Sims to have the police cars stop in more frequently than in the past. Mr. Lnenicka stated he would like to see some other type of fence that would be more appropriate. Councilman Patrick stated while he sympathized with Mr. Peterson's problems he felt he needed to respond to the citizens of Woodruff Drive and therefore made a motion the variance request for a chain link fence in the front yard of the property located at 2482 Spring Road be denied. Councilman Newcomb seconded the motion. Motion to deny the variance request was approved 6-1 with Mr. Cramer opposed. (B) Rezoning Request - 3215 Atlanta Road - Rezone Property from G.C. and R-20 to RM-12 (Condominiums) Mr. Thomson stated this request is being made by Crowe, Ingram Trust for the 9.183 acres they own on Atlanta Road. The tract has been annexed into the City and the owners are asking for RM-12 zoning to build 112 condominium units. Mayor Bacon stated this is a public hearing and asked if there was anyone present in opposition to the granting of this rezoning request. Mayor Bacon stated those who wished to make comments need to be sworn in. He then asked those would like to speak to come forward and be sworn in by City Attorney Chuck Camp. Councilman Lnenicka stated there was a meeting held in the spring of this year to discuss a proposed development not only on this property but also across the street on Creatwood Farms. He then stated things did not work out on the Creatwood Farms side of the property but what is being proposed tonight is basically what was discussed with the citizens six months ago. He indicated it is the same builder and same developer here tonight to present the same plan that was discussed at that time. Mr. Tim Tise, Vice President of Realty Development Corporation, came forward and stated that he heard 112 homes were planned to be built but there are only 108 homes on 9.156 acres at 3215 Atlanta Road and they are requesting a rezoning from General Commercial and R-20 to RM-12 for the purpose of building those 108 condominium homes. The resulting density would be about 11.8 homes per acre and the name of the community will be Vinings Forest Condominiums. Mr. Tise reported their site plan calls for nine buildings with twelve homes per building and there will be six different floor plans ranging in size from 1147 square feet to 1737 square feet heated, total footage including garage and storage ranges Li October 17, 1994, meeting - continued from 1352 square feet to 2290 square feet. He indicated there will be both garden and town house style homes and all homes except eighteen of the terrace homes will have a garage, either one or two car. He indicated the prices of the homes are expected to be in the nineties, the low one hundreds and there will be a fence around the entire property. He further indicated that along the front property line there will be a fence with brick columns and wrought iron fencing, and around the rest of the property there will be a six foot chain link vinyl coated fence (black vinyl); there will be a homeowner controlled privacy gate at the entrance and a swimming pool. As far as the site drainage is concerned, there will be a detention pond at the rear of the site at a low point near the railroad track. Mr. Tise presented a picture of the development. Mr. Tise mentioned the 75-foot setback in the front, which is part of the trolley car right-of-way is necessary in order to ensure an opaque barrier between the properties. He also indicated a landscape plan which shows six to eight foot Loblolly pines as well as some ten-gallon and three -gallon pine trees which will give a stepped effect and the ultimate goal is to have an opaque buffer on the side. Mr. Tise reported nearly all the trees on the property can be saved in the thirty-five foot buffer area. Mr. Tise indicated they are also requesting a variance on the northwest side of the property to reduce the buffer requirement to 10 feet. Mr. Tise stated Ms. Kirk, Smyrna Clean and Beautiful Coordinator, has asked their development to incorporate a recycling plan and they have agreed to do that. Mr. Tise stated the plans are to close on the property the end of this year and construction is to begin in late spring or summer of next year and sales would start in February or March. Councilman Newcomb asked Mr. Tise to describe the plans for the detention pond. Mr. Tise responded all the detention from the whole site will be routed back to that area and it will be fenced and will be a natural area and will conform to all city requirements. City Engineer Ken Hildebrandt stated the city requires that the detention for the 100 year flood plan is such that the runoff from the pond is no greater than is existing, therefore the engineer will have to design it for that. Mr. Newcomb then asked if he could give him a size in terms of the outlet, which he thinks is a key factor. Mr. Hildebrandt indicated he believes there is an existing culvert under the tracks at this time and the size of the outlet pipe will vary depending on the size of the pond. He stated the pipe could be either a 24" or 36" pipe but the outflow can be no greater than is existing. Mr. Newcomb then asked if Mr. Hildebrandt would have to approve the engineering plans for the detention pond and Mr. Hildebrandt responded that he did and Mr. Newcomb stated he would like to be involved in that process as it takes place. Mr. Newcomb asked Mr. Tise about the plans for a homeowners group and the transition from builder/developer to homeowner. Mr. Tise responded stated they will be doing a first phase consisting of thirty-six homes and once the first home is closed there will be a homeowner's association created at that point and typically there are developer appointed officers and directors until it becomes large enough for the homeowners to elect their own board. He also stated there is a one-year builder's warranty and FHA construction which will be a two-year systems/10-year structural warranty on the property. Mr. Winn Huff, speaking on behalf of the homeowners at Cumberland Vail Townhomes,.stated he would like to read a two -sentence petition, signed by over three-quarters of the homeowners of Cumberland Vail. Mr. Huff read the following petition: "The following Cumberland Vail Homeowners are in favor of the rezoning of the property directly north of our complex. In support of this rezoning request, we ask your consideration of the following: 1. In order to maintain our property values and the natural beauty of this land, we ask that the existing trees within fifty feet of the adjoining property lines be protected and preserved." Mayor Bacon asked Mr. Tise if what the homeowners are asking can be done and Mr. Tise responded there is one tree that is leaning aggressively toward one of the proposed buildings and they will do all they will do all they can to preserve and protect all the trees they can. Mr. Huff stated he was concerned about the retention pond and the drainage in the direction of the Cumberland Vail Townhomes and would like to be kept informed of the grading and drainage plans and would like an opportunity to provide input as the development progresses. Councilman Lnenicka asked Mr. Huff to present the petition to Ms. Dameron, the City Clerk, to be made a part of these minutes. Mr. Lnenicka then asked City Engineer Ken Hildebrandt if a builder is required, under ordinance, to not increase the runoff onto adjacent property. Mr. Hildebrandt stated the requirement is for the overall site that the runoff can not be increased. It is October 17, 1994, meeting - continued possible that the runoff can be increased on a certain portion of the site and he has not seen the topography to see if a certain part of the drainage will be running off on their property but he will certainly try to consider their wishes. Mr. Lnenicka then asked Mr. Tise if it was possible for them to accept a stipulation to the zoning that would state something to the effect that the runoff toward the south (Cumberland Vail) would not be increased over the natural runoff that is there now. Mr. Tise responded that was correct and the plan is to pipe all drainage to the detention pond. Mr. Lnenicka asked Mr. Tise if he could give the city any guarantees or promises the drainage would not become a problem. Mr. Tise stated he has been told by their engineers that this is a zero runoff situation; there will be storm drainage and everything will be pumped back to the detention pond at the back of the property; the parking lots would have storm drains to catch the water all along the buffer and take it back toward the north and east. Mr. Lnenicka asked Mr. Huff if he thought that was acceptable and Mr. Huff responded that was certainly something they would enjoy having. Mr. Tise stated that within the buffer area on that side, there would not be drain right at the property line but that will be just as it is now and not disturbed. Mr. Lnenicka asked Mr. Tise about the landscape plans and Mr. Tise responded they are still under development but basically they are trying to achieve an opaque screen which will be accomplished by the planting of Loblolly pines and some flowering bushes but basically the 35 foot buffer will be made up of a screen. Mr. Lnenicka then asked how far off the property line would the vinyl coated chain link fence be located in terms of allowing access for maintenance without getting on the Cumberland Vail property. Mr. Tise responded it will be near the property line but probably set back enough to allow someone to walk down the fence to maintain it. Mr. Lnenicka then asked about the lighting in the complex. Mr. Tise responded they will be using Georgia Power lighting and they have been told the lights will be designed to make sure the lights do not shine into the new development homes as well as the Cumberland Vail homes. Mr. Lnenicka then asked about the parking of recreational vehicles, boats, etc., outside the garages and asked if that would be covered in the covenants. Mr. Tise stated they have no problem with doing that and it could be a stipulation. He then said if someone had a boat that could go into the garage, as long as it was enclosed, that would be acceptable. Mr. Lnenicka then asked if there was anything that could be done to limit the number of rental units. Mr. Tise stated their intent is to sell the homes as single family homes with prices ranging from the nineties to low one hundreds. Mr. Lnenicka stated this project has been in the works for a year and Realty Development has invested a lot of time in this property and the city appreciates their willingness to come to Smyrna. Mr. Lnenicka then made a motion to approve the rezoning request at 3215 Atlanta Road from a mixture of General Commercial and R-20 to R-12 Condominiums with the following stipulations: 1. The drainage plan for this property incorporate the necessary means and measures in particular on the south side of the property to prevent any additional runoff heading into the property owned by the Cumberland Vail home owners on that site from this proposed development. There would be no increase in the runoff on the Cumberland Vail property over what is there today. 2. The City Engineer approve all drainage and retention facilities and make sure they meet all applicable city, county and state ordinances and codes. 3. The chain link fence proposed for the sides and rear of the property be a minimum of two feet off the property line to allow for maintenance and access to that fencing. 4. In terms of the south side of the property abutting Cumberland Vail, that no pavement or construction of any structure take place any nearer than thirty-five feet to that south property line. 5. That any trees over six inches in diameter, on the south side of the property, between a line thirty-five feet and fifty feet, which is determined as necessary to remove be replaced according to the terms of our tree ordinance with additional tree plantings in this green buffered area between Cumberland Vail and Vinings Forest. 6. Existing trees in the existing thirty-five foot natural buffer to remain in all circumstances except when tree is considered to be unhealthy or damaged in any way that would cause the tree to become weak and therefore pose a threat to the immediate surroundings. 7. Wisteria vines in existing thirty-five foot buffer to be removed to ensure the continued health of the trees. 8. Loblolly pines to be planted in a staggered row of varying sizes to produce a continuous, natural layered screen. October 17. 1994. meetinn - continued 9. The trash receptacle/compactor on the property will be designed to incorporate recycling for that property. 10. The covenants for the property prohibit the outdoor storage of recreational vehicles and boats outside of the enclosed garage. Councilman Cramer seconded the motion to approve the rezoning request at 3215 Atlanta Road. Motion was approved 7-0. (C) Variance Request - 3215 Atlanta Road - Reduce Buffer Requirement Mayor Bacon asked if there was anyone present in opposition to the variance request at 3215 Atlanta Road to reduce the buffer requirement. There was none. Councilman Lnenicka stated that in order to incorporate the distance requested by the Cumberland Vail home owners on the south side of the property, the applicant is here tonight to ask for a variance on the north side of the property to reduce the setback, instead of a seventy-five foot buffer to a ten foot buffer. Mr. Lnenicka stated he understood Mr. Tise has talked to the adjoining property owner and then asked Mr. Tise to explain what is happening here. Mr. Tise explained they have talked to the property owner and his reactions have been very favorable and he has a letter from the property owner's agent, Mr. Uzzel, that he will give to the City Clerk for the records. Mr. Tise stated basically they will have a ten - foot buffer as they try to move seventy-five feet in that direction to allow for building separation and according to Mr. Frank Uzzel of Uzzel Properties who represents Jopena, Inc., who owns that site, he has reviewed the site plans from Planners & Engineers dated September 12, 1994, and has no objection to the plan including the side yard variance detailed on the plan. Councilman Lnenicka made a motion that the request for a variance at 3215 Atlanta Road to reduce the buffer adjacent to the Frank Uzzel, Jopena, Inc., property on the north and northwest side be reduced from seventy-five feet to ten feet. Councilman Cramer seconded the motion. Councilman Newcomb expressed concern over the reduction of the buffer from seventy-five feet to ten feet. He stated he has a concern how this would affect the quality of development or life there ten years down the road. He then asked how this concern would be addressed. Councilman Lnenicka responded that the ten foot buffer is not a building setback it is simply the driveway. Mr. Tise responded the buildings will still be fifty-two feet back from the property line and the only thing in there would be a driveway and a buffer. Mr. Lnenicka stated there is a letter from the property owner approving the request and this is investment property. Mr. Newcomb stated he was still concerned with the ten -foot buffer. Mr. Tise responded there will be a screen there of Loblolly pines the same as will be on the other side but will be in a ten foot buffer and not seventy-five foot buffer and stated the buildings will be fifty-two feet away from the property line. Mayor Bacon stated he felt if the property was investment property and the owner had submitted a letter to the council that he has no problem with it, if he has a problem with it in the future that will be addressed at that time. Motion to approve the variance request at 3215 Atlanta Road to reduce the buffer requirement was approved 6-1 with Mr. Newcomb opposed. (D) Revision to Land Use Map Mr. Thomson stated ten amendments to the future land use map were recommended in the apartment study performed by John Moeller to the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. Thomson stated amendment number 9 needs to be discussed with Cobb County as there are some issues that affect both jurisdictions. The Planning and Zoning Board made a motion which was carried 6-0 to approve the other amendments as recommended. Councilman Newcomb introduced Mr. John Moeller, who conducted the study and drafted the amendments presented to the Planning and Zoning Board. Councilman Newcomb stated he would read each of the proposed land use amendments. Mayor Bacon stated that during the discussions pertaining to each of the proposed amendments citizens who wished to make comments would be allowed to do so. October 17, 1994, meeting - continued Councilman Newcomb stated the first amendment concerns Land Lots 310 and 311 at Concord and Hurt Roads. Mr. Newcomb stated the area is currently developed at a density of 3 to 6 dwelling units per acre. He further stated the comprehensive plan shows the property as high density residential with the exception of Mill Creek Apartments (located in the county) there is no other high density residential developments in this area of the city and it is therefore the recommendation of Mr. Moeller to the Planning and Zoning Board and to the Mayor and Council that the Comprehensive Land Use Plan designation should be changed to medium density residential from high density residential. Councilman Newcomb asked if anyone present had any comments concerning this proposed amendment. There were none. Councilman Wood stated this area is in his ward and he supports this amendment as it reduces the density in this area and feels this is in the best interest of the city and the residents of the city. Councilman Newcomb made a motion to approve the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board as stated in Amendment 1 to change the area so described from high density residential to medium density residential in the comprehensive land use plan. Councilman Wood seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0. Councilman Newcomb stated the second amendment deals with the John Wieland tract (land lots 389, 390, 391, 392, 393, 404, 403, 402, 401, 462, 463, 464, 473, 474 and 536) located on the north and south sides of the Southern Railroad line and east of Cooper Lake Road. Mr. Newcomb stated the current development plans call for an overall density of one dwelling unit per acre. He further stated the Comprehensive Plan calls for designation of medium density and the recommendation is to change the Comprehensive Plan to reflect the current development and reduce the land use category to low density residential. He further indicated this would be a change from medium density in the Comprehensive Plan which is three to six dwelling units per acre down to low density residential which would be one to three dwelling units per acre. Mr. Newcomb asked if there were any comments. Councilman Wood stated this area is also in his ward which consists of 415 acres on Cooper Lake Road going west toward Mableton and he feels this change in the comprehensive land use map would be in the best interest of the citizens. Councilman Newcomb made a motion to approve the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board to change the comprehensive land plan designation for this tract of land from medium density to low density residential. Councilman Wood seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0. Councilman Newcomb stated the third amendment involves a tract of land on the south side of Windy Hill Road on Ward Street (land lots 447 and 418) and the comprehensive land plan current shows The Highlands, North Slope Apartments and a portion of The Crestwood Apartments as community activity center as opposed to high density residential. Mr. Newcomb stated the original recommendation that was made to the Planning and Zoning Board was to change this in the comprehensive land plan from community activity center to high density residential. Mr. Newcomb stated the Mayor and Council and Mr. Moeller have had conversations, and a memo from Mr. Moeller, regarding this tract of land as well as the two amendments that follow that instead of changing these they should perhaps leave these as community activity center. Mr. Moeller stated this amendment and the two following amendments deal with existing complexes that are in the city and each of them are large complexes. He stated the existing developments are on arterial highways and therefore have the potential for redevelopment as commercial sites. He further stated if the sites are left as they are currently shown on the comprehensive plan and as currently zoned, they could be repaired or rehabilitated as existing apartment complexes and they could also be developed for commercial sites and the fact that they are on arterial highways would also be an added incentive for development for commercial sites. Additionally, the sites are surrounded by community activity centers on the current land use plan map and all three of those sites have adjacent community activity center on one side or all three sides. He stated the long term view is that these sites could be redeveloped commercially then they should be left in a commercial category on the land use plan. Mr. Newcomb then asked Mr. Moeller if his recommendation on Amendment 3 is that the city not concur with the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board that the future comprehensive land use plan be changed and that this tract be left as community activity center. There were no questions or comments from the audience. There was none. Councilman Newcomb made a motion that the city not concur with the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board that the future comprehensive land use plan be changed and that this tract be left as community activity center. ■ October 17, 1994, meeting - continued Councilman Lnenicka stated in terms of this amendment and the next two that he would favor the same approach on all three sites. He further stated that when the previous council originally did the Comprehensive Land Use Plan the intent was that if these properties did redevelop, the city did want them to have the opportunity to develop as commercial property and not be limited by a future land use plan that was not in accordance with what the city wanted to do. He further stated the current zoning does not match the future land use map. Councilman Hawkins stated this is in his ward and he does have one objection. He further stated there are apartments in this area now and that means that property would not be in conformity with the future land use map. Mr. Moeller stated that was correct but it would be in conformity with the existing zoning of the property. Mr. Hawkins then asked that if for some reason, someone came in and wanted to purchase the apartments and tear them down and build multi -family condominiums or even apartments, would they have to come back and get a rezoning or is the zoning on the property going to stand until someone comes in for a rezoning. Mr. Moeller replied that is correct; the zoning on the property would stand so you could redevelop the property for RM-12 if the property was zoned RM-12, but in leaving it as shown on the comprehensive land use plan map you are encouraging the developer to come in, in this case, with a higher density type of commercial development and that would require a rezoning. Mayor Bacon asked if someone wanted to come in and do a complete renovation on that property, would they have a problem securing refinancing on that to redevelop it or rehabilitate it because of the future land use plan. Mr. Moeller responded if it was going to be rehabilitated in accordance with the current zoning, there would be no problem in rehabilitating it and he did not foresee any problem with refinancing it. Councilman Newcomb restated his motion that the city not concur with the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board that the future comprehensive land use plan be changed and that this tract be left as community activity center. Councilman Hawkins seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0. Councilman Newcomb stated Amendment 4 pertains to the area on the west side of South Cobb Drive and south of Plaza Drive (land Lot 378). He further stated the Comprehensive Plan shows the Brookview Apartments as community activity center as opposed to high density residential. Mr. Newcomb stated this is the same situation as discussed above with the original recommendation being to change the property to high density residential to reflect its existing use and zoning but upon further reflection, the correct thing to do would be to leave it as community activity center. Councilman Newcomb asked if there was anyone present who would like to comment on this amendment. There was none. Councilman Cramer stated this is in his ward and he agrees with Mr. Newcomb and Mr. Moeller that this should be left as community activity center. Councilman Newcomb made a motion that the city not concur with the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board that the future comprehensive land use plan be changed and that this tract be left as community activity center. Councilman Cramer seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0. Councilman Newcomb stated Amendment 5 pertains to the property on the east side of Cobb Parkway (U.S.41) north of Whitley Road (Land lots 848, 878, 879 and 916). He further stated this is the largest of a couple of tracts in the City of Smyrna on the east side of Cobb Parkway. The tract is currently zoned RM-12 and developed multi -family (Windsor Lake Apartments, formerly Cedar Lake Apartments). The comprehensive plan currently designates this tract as community activity center and the original motion was to change it to high density residential to reflect its current use. He then stated that upon further reflection, as in the previous two amendments, it would be better to leave it as community activity center. Mr. Newcomb then asked if anyone present had any comments they would like to make concerning this amendment. There was none. Councilman Newcomb made a motion that the city not concur with the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board to change this tract of land to high density residential and leave it as community activity. Councilman Wood seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0. Councilman Newcomb stated Amendment 6 pertains to the area north of Spring Road to include the area north of Cumberland Valley Road (Land lots 665 and 666). This area is currently developed for townhouses and yet is shown on the comprehensive plan as high density which could be six to sixteen units per acre. This area could be redesignated for medium density residential (three to six dwelling units per acre). He further stated this is one of the recommendations from the apartment density study that Mr. October 17, 1994, meeting - continued Moeller conducted. Mr. Moeller commented that he felt there were several people in the audience who are concerned about this and the fact that this change will not affect their current zoning on the property. Secondly, this amendment ties in with Amendment 9 which the Planning and Zoning Board has decided to delete from the agenda tonight because it involves both developments in the county and the city. This would start setting a trend for medium density residential on the south end, the Spring Road side, and he stated he would hope to move toward lower density as you go to the Smyrna Roswell Road area. He further stated the concept here is to try to bring the density down in this area so it would not affect the complex that is currently zoned on this property. Councilman Newcomb asked Mr. Moeller if there was any reason the council should not take action on this item tonight since it is tied to Amendment 9. Mr. Moeller stated he did not see any problem with taking action on this amendment but he felt the council should listen to the citizens who are present tonight who have concerns. Mayor Bacon asked if there was any comment from the audience. Ms. Sylvia Harris, 1815 Terri Myers Drive, came forward and stated she has been a resident of the city for the past ten years in the Cumberland Townhomes and she wanted to know the purpose of this amendment, why is it being done now and was not done when she bought the property. She further stated she did not want the property to turn into commercial property with her property being left behind. Councilman Newcomb stated this would not cause any of her concerns to come true. This is simply changing in the comprehensive plan from high density to medium density which he understands from her she would look more favorably upon. Ms. Harris replied that was correct. Ms. Harris then asked about the front portion of the Cumberland Townhomes on Spring Road, suppose that should become commercial. Mr. Newcomb stated he was not familiar with the property she was discussing but that is not being affected by this action tonight. Councilman Scoggins stated this area is in his ward and this will not affect her property at all. He then stated this is on the lower side of the property behind Village Parkway. Councilman Newcomb made a motion that the tract of land described in Amendment 6 as north of Spring Road to include the area north of Cumberland Valley Road (land lots 665 and 666) be changed on the comprehensive land use plan from high density to medium density. Councilman Scoggins seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0. Councilman Newcomb stated Amendment 7 needs to be discussed. He addressed Mr. Lnenicka and stated that he had noticed in dealing with this property he noticed the land use plan has not formally been changed. He also stated they had discussed the need not to do this but feels it needs to be discussed. Mr. Lnenicka responded this property was, until very recently, in the county and was just annexed into the city. Mr. Lnenicka then asked Mr. Moeller if he remembered what the county map had on this property and would that be grand -fathered into the city. Mr. Moeller responded that as far as the land use plan was concerned, he believes it was shown as low density. Mr. Lnenicka then stated he felt what should be done on this property is to either postpone it for further study as part of the overall study of the Atlanta Road corridor or make some changes. He then stated he preferred postponing action on this item; continue doing what we recommended as part of the apartment study that Mr. Moeller headed, and study this corridor and look for ways to again protect the neighborhoods in the area with the comprehensive future land use plan. Councilman Newcomb asked Mr. Moeller if he had a comment on Amendment 7. Mr. Moeller stated that on Amendment 7, that based on the action taken on the rezoning on the property, coupled with pending studies on Atlanta Road and South Cobb Drive, it would be best to hold Amendment 7. Councilman Newcomb asked if anyone present had any comments concerning postponing action on Amendment 7. There was none. Councilman Newcomb then made a motion that the city postpone taking action on the recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Board on Amendment 7. Councilman Lnenicka seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0. Councilman Lnenieka then asked Mr. Newcomb if Mr. Moeller would be coming back before the council later this year with a further recommendation. Mr. Newcomb responded that was correct. Councilman Newcomb stated Amendment 8 is a redevelopment area east of South Cobb Drive and Camp October 17, 1994, meeting - continued Highlands Road (Land lot 548). He then stated the land use designation is medium high density residential and redevelopment and the current land use zoning is a mixture of single family, town houses and some light industrial property. He then stated the recommendation of Mr. Moeller to the Planning and Zoning Board and from the Planning and Zoning Board to the Mayor and Council is that the comprehensive future land use designation be changed to medium density. Mr. Newcomb asked Mr. Moeller to elaborate on this amendment. Mr. Moeller stated there is some existing development that is shown on the map for Amendment 8 and much of that development is currently in a medium density category and therefore they are recommending that it come out of redevelopment and go into a medium density pretty much as it is developed. Mayor Bacon asked if there was any discussion on this amendment. A woman, resident of Laurel Bridge Court, came forward to express her concerns and asked what is going to happen to the light industry in that area and she indicated she understood the property had previously been zoned for redevelopment and medium density. Councilman Wood stated the city is talking about reducing the density which would protect her property as it is. Mr. Moeller stated there is a larger area shown as redevelopment and the city is only talking about a very small portion of that redevelopment area and basically it is on the south side of Cooper Lake Road. Councilman Wood stated that a portion of the property on South Cobb Drive is in the county and is zoned commercial and unfortunately the city has no control of that property, but the property in the city of Smyrna will be affected by the proposed amendment and will protect her property and the residential development in which she lives. Councilman Lnenicka stated he would not vote for anything that would hurt a residential neighborhood. Councilman Newcomb made a motion that the city approve the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board that the tract of land described in Amendment 8 (a redevelopment area east of South Cobb Drive and Camp Highlands Road - Land Lot 548) be changed to medium density. Councilman Wood seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0. Councilman Newcomb stated Amendment 9 (Windy Hill Road and Smyrna -Roswell Road south to Spring Road - Land Lots 632, 633, 634, 662, 663 and 664) was submitted to the Planning and Zoning Board and the Planning and Zoning Board is doing further study on this issue with Mr. Moeller and city staff, working with the county, and no recommendation has been forwarded to this group at this time. Councilman Newcomb made a motion that action on Amendment 9 be postponed as submitted to the Planning and Zoning Board pending further recommendations. Councilman Scoggins seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0. Councilman Newcomb stated Amendment 10 (South Cobb Drive south of Starline Drive - Land Lot 482) is another mixed situation where the frontage of the property is shown as community activity center while the rear of the property is shown as low density residential. He further stated that recently the property was rezoned to General Commercial by the Council for a shopping center and the original recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Board was that the rear of the property should also be shown as community activity center. He then stated that upon further discussion of this item, the GC designation to this property had a time limit placed on it and if it was developed as such, the zoning would revert to its original zoning. He stated therefore it would be more appropriate to postpone action on this item due to the time limited zoning on the property. He then asked if there was anyone present who would like to comment on this amendment. Councilman Hawkins stated he supported delaying action on this amendment because the back of that property is now being shown as low density residential and there are residents living there. Mr. Hawkins further stated the current zoning on the property is conditional and the original plan that was shown at the rezoning could very well be in jeopardy and may not proceed, and he is supportive of tabling this issue at this time. Mr. Moeller stated he agreed and was not aware of the reversionary clause and feels postponement is the proper action to take. October 17 1994, meeting - continued Councilman Newcomb asked if there were any comments from the audience. There were none. Councilman Newcomb made a motion that the city not concur with the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board on Amendment 10 (South Cobb Drive south of Starline Drive - Land Lot 482). Councilman Wood seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0. (E) Annexation of Property - 3793 North Cooper Lake Road Councilman Wood stated this application was filed by Ronald W. Trumble and Elise A. Trumble at 3793 North Cooper Lake Road and they have subsequently withdrawn their annexation request. Councilman Wood made a motion that the annexation request of the property at 3793 North Cooper Lake Road be deleted from the agenda without prejudice. Councilman Hawkins seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0. (F) Alcoholic Beverage License Request - Retail Pouring of Beer, Wine and Liquor - Skip's Bar-B-Q/Lexington Style - 2365 South Cobb Drive Mr. Thomson stated Ms. Julie D. Pass will be the agent for this establishment. He further stated she is also a manager of the business and the business is located at 2365 South Cobb Drive which was formerly the address of Dee Dee's Cafe. Mr. Thomson further stated Ms. Pass has been given a copy of the alcoholic beverage ordinance and has indicated she will comply with the ordinance. Mayor Bacon stated this is a public hearing and asked if there was anyone present in opposition to the granting of this business license request. There was none. Councilman Cramer asked Ms. Pass if she would briefly explain what type training program they will conduct at Skip's Bar-B-Q. Ms. Pass explained she had written down specific instructions that would directly affect the waitress/wait staff and will hold a meeting to review those. Councilman Cramer asked Ms. Pass if she was aware the city frequently conducted sting operations and she indicated their policy would be to card everyone. Mr. Cramer stated the Police Department investigation indicated nothing that would preclude the issuance of this license. Councilman Cramer made a motion the alcoholic beverage license request for the retail pouring of beer, wine and liquor for Skip's Bar-B-Q/Lexington Style at 2365 South Cobb Drive be approved. Motion was seconded by Councilman Scoggins. Motion was approved 7-0.

Chief Williams stated on November 14 and continuing through the month, his department will begin flow testing the hydrants in the city. Mayor Bacon asked Chief Williams about the permitting process for burning leaves in the City of Smyrna. Chief Williams stated those permits are obtained over the telephone. Mayor Bacon then asked what happens when someone is sitting out in their yard, trying to enjoy the evening, and their neighbor begins burning leaves and the afternoon becomes a smoke -filled afternoon and asked can they do about this problem. Chief Williams responded the fires must be out by 6:00 p.m. and that is the cut off time. Chief Williams stated the discontinuation of burning leaves has been discussed and he will abide by the directions of the Mayor and Council on this issue. Councilman Hawkins thanked the council for their support of the installation of stop signs on Pinehurst Circle at King Springs Road.
