CITIZENS INPUT: There was none. PUBLIC HEARINGS: (A) Rezoning Request - South Cobb Drive at Wisteria Lane - 1.656 Acres from R-15, Single Family Residential to L.C., Limited Commercial Mayor Pro Tem Hawkins stated this is a rezoning request on South Cobb Drive at the corner of Wisteria Lane to rezone 1.656 acres from R-15, Single Family Residential to L.C., Limited Commercial. Mr. Hawkins stated this is actually in his ward but asked Councilman Lnenicka to discuss the rezoning request as he is not allowed to vote in his capacity as Mayor Pro Tern except in the case of a tie vote. Mayor Pro Tern Hawkins asked the applicants to come forward and asked if anyone was present in opposition to the granting of this rezoning request. There was none. Mr. Don Hammett explained they want to build a child care center - Tutor Time - that will front South Cobb Drive. He further explained the facility is part of a national company and this building will be approximately 10,000 square feet, with parking for about twenty cars and will have facilities for playground areas; will have a natural buffer area along the back of the property which abuts the subdivision off Wisteria Drive; will have a ten foot natural buffer area and a privacy fence that will be installed as a buffer as well. The facility will have a capacity of 200 children and will be a first-class facility. He stated the building will be brick and drivet and will be pleasing to the eye. Mr. Hawkins asked if the buffer on the Wisteria side will be a 10-foot undisturbed buffer. Mr. Hammett responded the area is now natural, with trees and undergrowth and that will be left as is. Mr. Hawkins then asked if Mr. Hammett planned to put a six-foot fence behind that and he responded yes. Mr. Hawkins then asked if the fence posts could face the day care property or if they would install double - sided fence. Mr. Hammett stated they could probably do that. Councilman Scoggins asked what the estimated cost of the building is. Mr. Hammett responded approximately $1.2 million including the land cost. Mr. Hammett stated he was aware of the requirement by the City to have 100 square feet of play area per child and in Cobb County the requirement is considerably less. He stated he felt this difference was due in part to the fact that not all of the children are allowed to play outside at the same time - they are staggered by age groups. He stated that no matter what the capacity of the facility, there will never be more than one third of the children playing outside in the play area at one time. He stated the City might want to look at that particular section of the code. Councilman Wood asked about the age limit of the children and Mr. Hammett responded the facility will take children up to age twelve. May 20 1996 meeting - continued Mayor Pro Tem asked Mr. Hammett about the hours of operation. Mr. Hammett responded he thought the hours of operation would primarily would be through the week and did not think any facilities would be open on the weekend and certainly not at night. Mr. Hawkins then asked about lights on the parking lot. Mr. Hammett responded there would be no lights taller than the building and would be very unobtrusive. Councilman Lnenicka asked if there would not be any Saturday or Sunday operation. Mr. Hammett responded he was not sure of that as he would not be involved in the operation of the day care center - just the building of the facility and leasing it to Tutor Time. He stated to his knowledge most of their operations are during the week but he would not be able to say there was nothing on Saturday and Sunday. Mr. Lnenicka stated on the side that abuts Walton Park apartments, a ten foot variance would be required and asked if that was still required. Mr. Hammett stated it was still required. Mr. Hammett stated that the setback on the Walton Park side is 33 feet. Mr. Lnenicka asked Mr. Stokes if the variance had been advertised. Mr. Stokes reported the variance has not been advertised, only the rezoning has been advertised. Mr. Lnenicka then asked if the variance would be handled at a later date. Mr. Stokes responded if the site plan does not meet the city's criteria, the variance would have to be advertised and heard at a later date. Mr. Lnenicka then asked about accel/decel lanes. City Engineer Ken Hildebrandt responded he has not received a detailed site plan but he does not usually require much of an accel lane because the public does not always use them correctly. He indicated the decel lane is usually used correctly and he would ask that a wide radius be used there as they city does not usually require a full acceleration lane. Mr. Lnenicka then asked Mr. Hammett if he would object to the city including in the motion any words to the effect that whatever the city engineer required in terms of turning radius or accel or decel lane would be acceptable. Mr. Hammett stated that would be agreeable. Mr. Hammett further stated he agreed with the city engineer that acceleration lanes are not always correctly used. Mr. Hammett then asked Mr. Lnenicka if the city had the capability of a general waiver on a variance on something of this nature. Mr. Lnenicka responded the variance had to be advertised to the public before action could be taken. Councilman Wood asked about ingress/egress being only from South Cobb Drive. Mr. Hammett _ responded that was correct. Mr. Hawkins stated the city has had one other re -zoning application for this same property several years ago for a General Commercial zoning which was turned down. He stated the zoning requested tonight, Limited Commercial and if the property is rezoned again the owners would have to come back before the Council in order to change the zoning. Councilman Lnenicka made a motion that the rezoning request for the property on South Cobb Drive at Wisteria Drive, to rezone 1.656 acres from R-15, Single Family Residential, to L.C., Limited Commercial be approved subject to the following stipulations: 1. That abutting the single family residential district, there will be a ten foot undisturbed buffer. 2. There will be a six foot board fence erected ten feet inside the property line of this property along and abutting the property line of all the single family residential district to which it is adjacent. 3. The side of the fence with the posts will either be toward the inside of this property or will be double sided. 4. That an accel or decel lane will be constructed as necessary and as required by the City Engineer after reviewing the plans. Councilman Cramer seconded the motion. Motion was approved 6-0. (B) Land Use Change - South Cobb Drive at Wisteria Lane - 1.656 Acres from High Density Residential to Neighborhood Activity Center Mayor Pro Tern Hawkins stated since the rezoning in Item A was approved, the land use change is necessary. Mr. Hawkins asked if anyone present had any comments before action is taken on this item. There was none. Councilman Newcomb stated the current land use designation is High Density Residential and the May 20, 1996 meeting - continued proposed designation is Neighborhood Activity Center which caters to businesses that draw from the immediate neighborhood area. He stated this is the appropriate change and is done at the same time the rezoning was approved. Mr. Newcomb made a motion that the property on South Cobb Drive at Wisteria Drive (1.656 acres) be changed on the Future Land Use Map from High Density Residential to Neighborhood Activity Center. Councilman Lnenicka seconded the motion. Motion was approved 6-0. (C) Alcoholic Beverage License Request - Sumner Suites, 1000 Curtis Drive - For Retail Pouring of Beer, Wine and Liquor Mayor Pro Tern Hawkins stated this is a public hearing and asked if the applicants were present. He also asked if anyone was present in opposition to the granting of this license request. There was none. Mr. Al Long, attorney with the law firm of Gambrell and Stokes, came forward and introduced himself and Mr. John Banks, General Manager and the proposed licensee. Councilwoman Capilouto asked Mr. Banks to explain why the pouring license is being requested. Mr. Banks responded they need the license to be competitive with the other hotels in the Atlanta market place. Ms. Capilouto asked if the patrons would be paying for the drinks. Mr. Banks responded yes they would. Ms. Capilouto stated that a previous council meeting, she was told there would be no kitchen facilities at the Sumner Suites. Mr. Banks responded there is a small pantry kitchen located directly behind the lounge/restaurant area. Ms. Capilouto then asked if they would have a restaurant. Mr. Banks responded they would have a restaurant/lounge. Ms. Capilouto then asked if they would be serving three meals daily. Mr. Banks responded they would be serving breakfast, catered lunches and would offer food in the evenings. Ms. Capilouto stated the Ordinance requires that 50% of the business by volume would have to be food prepared and consumed on the premises. Mr. Banks stated they fully anticipated having that. He stated they also will have outside catering that will be providing food services for the meeting facility which is 1600 square feet of space in addition to the combination restaurant/lounge. Mr. Banks stated they have an outside caterer and they would handle the arrangements for the person booking the event. He stated the caterer would actually be serving the food. Mr. Hawkins then asked if the Sumner Suites would be deriving any income off the sale of that food. Mr. Banks responded the contract has not been confirmed but it could go either way. They could either charge equal to what the caterer charges them or .they may have a surcharge on top of that. Mr. Lnenicka asked if the caterer could bill the people holding the function directly? Mr. Banks stated that could be an option as well. Mr. Camp, City Attorney, stated he would not suggest doing that as it would make it impossible for the city to keep up with the food sales. Mr. Long stated they could make that part of the licensing condition that they would handle all the billing for the food service so the caterer could be sub -contracting for them so it could be revenue derived for the purpose of satisfying the license requirements. He further stated this is not a lounge for people to hang out in, it is a matter of accommodating travelers and business people who want to have meetings and functions and want to have a drink along with it. He stated the bar is not a franchise operation as they intend to run it themselves. Councilman Scoggins asked Mr. Banks if they were planning to serve breakfast and dinner at the facility. Mr. Banks responded that was correct. He further stated they have a breakfast buffet in the morning and also catered lunches during the day and they anticipate, based on approval of this license request, opening the bar at 5:00 p.m. and in the evenings they would have food available at the lounge/bar area. Mr. Scoggins asked if the food would be prepared at their facility. Mr. Banks responded yes. Councilman Wood asked if this service would be primarily for the guests of the facility as opposed to open to the public. Mr. Banks responded it is entirely for the guests in-house. Mr. Lnenicka asked if the facility would be available to the public and Mr. Banks stated it could be available unless the Council had an objection to it. He further stated they would not be advertising it to the general public but would advertise as an amenity to the guests. Councilman Lnenicka asked what type kitchen equipment they planned to install. Mr. Banks responded they have a standard cooler, freezer, proper dish washing facilities, the sinks, microwave ovens. Mr. Lnenicka asked about stoves, ovens, ranges, etc. Mr. Banks responded he had not seen any plans for stoves or ovens at this point. Mr. Lnenicka asked if it would be microwave heated food only. Mr. Banks responded they actually are considering an oven but it has not been confirmed yet and there are actually no plans that he is aware of for a stove: Mr. Lnenicka asked Mr. Stokes if he has noted any facilities for a kitchen at the site. Mr. Stokes reported he has only visited the site twice and the field inspectors have been out there. He stated from the submitted plans, the only cooking equipment is microwaves and unless they have changed their plans and not resubmitted them, the only thing they have is microwaves. Mr. Lnenicka asked Mr. Banks if he was aware he would have to provide quarterly May 20, 1996 meeting - continued reports to the City, subject to audit, of their retail food sales as well as retail alcohol sales. Mr. Lnenicka also stated if they were only serving a small amount of microwave foods, that would limit by definition the sale of alcoholic beverages. He asked if that would present a problem for them. Mr. Banks responded no. Councilman Lnenicka stated he wanted to note that the Police Department investigation revealed nothing that would preclude the issuance of the license applied for. Councilwoman Capilouto stated she has no problem with the issuance of the license except that they do not qualify according to the Ordinance requiring that .... food is prepared to be consumed on the premises. She further stated that unless they have a full kitchen they are not preparing the food. Ms. Capilouto made a motion to table this item until the June 3, 1996, meeting. Councilman Newcomb stated it would be better to table this item for a couple of weeks until the city could look at the wording in the ordinance. He stated that Sumner Suites would have to show an audit that shows that 50% of their business is from food prepared on the premises. He stated with the light kitchen facilities that would be hard to do. He further stated that the issue that the ordinance ought to be addressing is whether of not the food must be prepared on the premises. Councilman Newcomb seconded the motion to table the alcoholic beverage license request for Sumner Suites. Motion was approved 6-0. (D) Alcoholic Beverage License Request - El Trebol Billares, 1036-1040 Windy Hill Road Mayor Pro Tem Hawkins asked the applicants to come forward and stated this is a public hearing and asked if anyone was present in opposition to the granting of this alcoholic beverage license request. Mayor Pro Tem Hawkins stated this is actually in his Ward but Councilman Cramer would be handling it for him this evening. Mr. Duke Anthony Fontenot, applicant, and Hector Cora, attorney for El Trebol Billares, came forward. Mr. Andy Jones, 2801 Spring Drive, came forward as opposed to the granting of this license request. City Attorney Chuck Camp administered to the oath to all three persons. Mr. Cora stated Mr. Fontenot will be acting as agent for the establishment and will also be working the counter at this location. Mr. Cora stated there are eight billiard tables at one end of the business at this location and a counter at the other end of the business. He further stated Mr. Fontenot will card people when they come in to make sure they are of legal age to come in and they will pay him for any beer. Councilman Cramer asked Mr. Fontenot about his experience in this type business. Mr. Fontenot explained he previously worked in Carrollton at The Mansion Restaurant. He stated it was his responsibility to card patrons as they entered the restaurant. Mr. Cramer asked if a training program would be established for other employees so they will know how to card people. Mr. Fontenot responded that was correct and it would be himself and Mr. Guitterez, the owner. Mr. Fontenot stated anyone wishing to purchase alcohol will have to come to the counter and he will ID them at that time. Mr. Cramer asked Mr. Fontenot if he had received a copy of the ordinance and did he understand it. Mr. Fontenot responded yes. Mr. Cramer asked Mr. Fontenot if he realized he would be responsible for any violations to the ordinance and Mr. Fontenot responded yes. Councilman Wood asked if this business is a proprietorship and not incorporated. Mr. Cora stated it is proprietorship business. Councilwoman Capilouto asked about the signs and if they would be in English as well as Spanish. Mr. Cora stated the signs are now in English. Councilwoman Capilouto asked if Mr. Guitterez' son, who previously applied for this license, would be working at this location. Mr. Cora stated he would not, that he has a day job and will be going back to get his college degree. Councilman Lnenicka asked Mr. Fontenot where he resides. Mr. Fontenot responded he lives at 1700 Mohawk Place, Smyrna. He then asked Mr. Fontenot what hours and days he would be working at this facility. Mr. Fontenot responded he would be working in the evenings, from 6:00 p.m. til closing - about 2:00 a.m. Councilman Cramer stated the Police Department investigation revealed nothing that would preclude the issuance of this license to the applicant. Mayor Pro Tem Hawkins asked Mr. Jones to come forward. Mr. Jones stated he is a life long resident of Smyrna and has attended the council meetings regularly for the last year. He stated he thought he May 20 1996 meeting - continued noticed a trend in accepting alcoholic beverage licenses and he would like the city to seek a higher standard in accepting the licenses. He stated he thought a higher standard would protect everyone in the community and he felt the consequences of alcohol, in general, creates a lot of problems along the way. Mr. Jones stated he wanted to express his opposition to the granting of this license request and feels it would be in the best interest of the city not to grant this license request. Mr. Jones expressed his concerns about the location of the El Trebol Billares business to Calvary Baptist Church, IGO Church and the apartment complex nearby. He also cited the recent problems with the On -On Bar and Grill and the subsequent revocation of their alcoholic beverage license. Mayor Pro Tern Hawkins stated the people of Cobb County voted several years ago to allow alcohol by the drink, that it was not the Mayor and Council of Smyrna nor the Cobb County Board of Commissioners. He then stated that once that was legalized, the only thing the city elected officials can do is to regulate that type of business with reasonable regulations and treat everyone who applies for such a license equally. He further stated if an applicant meets the established criteria, the elected officials have no legal reason not to grant that license. He thanked Mr. Jones for his comments. Councilman Scoggins stated in the addendum to the lease, he noticed that it stated the lessee shall have the right to place a 10' satellite dish on the exterior wall of the business. He suggested to Mr. Cora that they check with the permit department before installing such a dish. Mr. Cora stated the business had already contacted the permit department and have a dish on the building but it is not a 10 foot dish, it is a smaller one.
