Mayor Bacon stated this item was tabled from the March 1, 1999, Council meeting and

Davidson Companies requesting this item be withdrawn, without prejudice, from the agenda.
He stated the letter was signed by W. David Knight, President of Knight Davidson Companies,

and without prejudice, the company will not have to wait the 12-months to come back and re -

developer's request. Councilman Cramer seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0.

March 15,1999, meeting - continued
(C) Variance Request - 3930 Gann Road - Reduce Rear Yard Building Setback Line from
30 Feet to 15 Feet
Mr. Smith stated Mr. Billy Martin, the applicant, is requesting the variance due to a sanitary
sewer easement that cuts diagonally across the front of his lot and is requesting the rear setback
line to be varied from 20 feet to 15 feet in order to allow this to be a buildable lot for a
residence. Mr. Smith there are letters in the packet from the adjoining property owners
indicating they have no objections to this request. Mayor Bacon stated this is a public hearing
and asked if anyone was present in opposition to the granting of this variance request. There
was none.
Councilman Wood asked Mr. Martin to explain why the variance is being requested. Mr.
Martin stated the sewer easement cuts the lot diagonally and if the rear setback line is not
moved they would be confined to building a very small house, one that would be smaller than
what the neighborhood warrants and designed for the lot. Mr. Martin stated they need to move
the building setback line back about 12 - 15 feet. Mr. Martin stated part of the proposed deck
will encroach on the setback line if the variance is not granted and basically the variance is
necessary to allow them to build a deck or any kind of back porch. Mr. Frank Smith, 3909
Green Forest Parkway, came forward and stated he supports the request of Mr. Martin.
Councilman Wood made a motion that the variance request at 3930 Gann Road to reduce the
rear yard building setback line from 30 feet to 15 feet be approved. Councilman Cramer
seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0.
(D) Rezoning Request - 2969 Jonquil Drive (0.341 Acres) - From R-15 to General
Commercial (G.C.)
Mayor Bacon stated Items (D) and (E) pertain to the same property. Mr. Smith stated Mr.
Keith Akhlaghi, is requesting the rezoning and land use change in order to construct an
automobile repair facility. Mr. Smith stated the applicant currently owns one of the lots
adjacent to this property and the request was heard by the Planning and Zoning Board on
February 22, 1999, and the motion was to deny the request by a vote of 5-1. Mayor Bacon
stated this is a public hearing and asked if anyone was present in opposition to the rezoning
request. Several persons came forward and were administered the oath by City Attorney Chuck
Camp.
Councilman Scoggins asked Mr. Akhlaghi to explain why he is requesting the rezoning and
what he plans to do with the property. Mr. Akhlaghi stated he owns the adjacent property,
German Auto House, and is in need of space in order to expand his business. Mr. Wayne
Proctor, engineer who designed the plans for Mr. Akhlaghi came forward with Mr. Akhlaghi.
Mr. Akhlaghi stated he plans to expand his business, does not intend to remove the big trees in
the front of the property, and would plant trees or bushes between his place of business and the
neighbors. Mr. Proctor stated he had existing plans for the building as well as plans for the
proposed building if the council would like to review them.
Mayor Bacon recognized Richard Tucker, Jonquil Drive resident, William Burts, 2986 Emory
Road, Sandi Sands, Lexington Trace resident and Ellen Allred, 2968 Jonquil Drive, who all
spoke in opposition to the granting of this rezoning request. All residents stated they felt the
area should remain residential.
After hearing testimony from residents of the area, Councilman Scoggins made a motion that
the rezoning request at 2969 Jonquil Drive (0.341 acres) from R-15 to General Commercial be

(F) Rezoning Request - End of West Argo Road, Land Lots 617 & 608 (34.3 Acres) From
Light Industrial (L.I.) to RAD-Conditional
Mr. Smith stated Mr. Tommy Eubanks, representing Chastain Glenn, Inc., is making this
request for the rezoning and land use change to be followed by an annexation request. Mr.
Smith stated the request is to rezone 34.3 acres into a subdivision with a density of 3.56 units
per acre and was heard at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting held on February 22, 1999,
and approved 6-0.
Councilman Wood recognized Tommy Eubanks and Neal Peavy from Chastain Glenn, Inc.
Mr. Wood stated this is part of a multi -phased single-family development in the Camp
Highland, Argo, West Argo Road area off the East-West Connector near South Cobb Drive.
Mr. Wood stated the area before council tonight is the same area as Woodland Brooke
subdivision and the applicant is requesting rezoning of approximately 34.3 acres for
construction of 121 single-family homes and the property includes approximately 11.7 acres
that will be annexed into the city if the property is rezoned. Mr. Wood stated the current
zoning is Light Industrial and the Land Use is Industrial Compatible Area and Low Density
Residential. Mr. Wood stated the Planning and Zoning Board unanimously approved the
rezoning at their February 22, 1999, meeting, with the stipulations that the developer install a
privacy fence on that portion of the property that abuts the Kenwood Subdivision. He further
stated the western portion of this tract is currently in unincorporated Cobb County and the
County has notified the city, in writing, that it has no objections to the proposed rezoning and
land use change.
Councilman Wood asked Mr. Eubanks and Mr. Peavy to briefly explain what they plan to do
with the property. Mr. Peavy explained Woodland Brooke is to the north of this property and
this subdivision will have basically the same builders but the homes will be more expensive in
the new section and will be Woodland Gate subdivision with the homes beginning at $225,000
and up. Mr. Wood asked Mr. Peavy who the builders will be and he responded Ryland and
Highland Homes will be building jointly in the development. Mr. Wood asked about the style
of the homes and Mr. Peavy responded they will be traditional, with brick, stucco and siding;
underground utilities; decorative street lights and all will have two -car garages; mandatory
homeowners association; protective covenants and an entrance sign constructed of brick, stone
or masonry material with landscaping. Mr. Eubanks stated the detention pond will be in the
area of the amenity package which will contain ALTA tennis courts, lighted courts, swimming
pool, cabana clubhouse facility (bathhouse) and probably .have a bridge built across the creek
and playground area and plant willow trees and natural vegetation around the area. Mr. Wood
asked Mr. Eubanks to discuss the detention facilities on the property and explained that the city
typically requests that the design is such that the peak flow rate of storm water runoff is not
increased. Mr. Eubanks stated they are working on the hydro study for the detention facility
and they will meet the requirements of the city. Councilman Lnenicka asked Mr. Eubanks or
Mr. Peavy about the setback distance between the houses and Mr. Eubanks stated they will
have fifteen feet between the houses as a minimum. Mr. Lnenicka then asked Mr. Eubanks
about the radius of the cul de sacs and Mr. Eubanks responded they will meet the requirements
based on the city's regulations. He further stated some of the closer cul de sacs will be the
small ones but the distance will be based on the city's requirements and the larger cul de sacs
will have the longer distances. Mr. Lnenicka then stated there should be no variance requests
on those and Mr. Eubanks responded they feel they have the normal requirements down pretty
good but could not say there will not be some variances but he feels those are somewhat limited
now in comparison to what they used to run into. Councilman Lnenicka stated he hopes Mr.
Eubanks will work with City Engineer Ken Hildebrandt and Community Development Director
Robin Broyles and staff in addressing some of the city's concerns about water drainage, runoff
and siltation and flow into downstream territory and creeks and rivers to see if the development
could retain more than the 100 % minimum retirement. Mr. Lnenicka stated most developers,
by working with the city and the city working with them, have been able to do that with little or
no problem. He then asked Mr. Eubanks if that is something they would be willing to work
with the city on and Mr. Eubanks responded yes. Mr. Eubanks stated he feels on this
development they will be able to do a real good job with this situation because all of the
drainage goes directly into parking lots underground so whatever that pipe size is they have to
meet that requirement anyway. Mr. Eubanks further stated they will be retaining their water
without any problem. Councilman Lnenicka thanked Mr. Eubanks, Mr. Peavy and Bobby
Gibson for what they have done for Smyrna starting in 1988 with Vinings Glen. Councilman
Lnenicka stated they were the first folks that really took a risk with the city on the future of
Smyrna - developing some nice neighborhoods at a time when all their buddies in the
developing businesses were telling them they were crazy you were telling them they were crazy
March 15,1999, meeting - continued
not to be here and you were going to prove them wrong. Mr. Lnenicka stated he felt they had
proved their developing friends wrong. Mr. Lnenicka stated the city appreciates what Mr.
Eubanks, Mr. Peavy and Mr. Gibson have done for Smyrna during the twelve years he has
been on council.
Councilman Wood asked what type privacy fence they plan to construct in the area that abuts
Kenwood Subdivision and Mr. Eubanks responded they will build a six-foot decorative wood
fence.
Councilman Wood made a motion the rezoning request for the end of West Argo Road, Land
Lots 617 and 608 (34.3 acres) from Light Industrial to RAD-Conditional be approved with the
following stipulations:
1. Total number of lots will not exceed 121.
2. The development will be consistent with the subdivision plans submitted with the
application.
3. Each home will have a two -car attached garage.
4. The development will have underground utilities.
5. The development will have decorative streetlights approved by the City Engineer.
6. Adequate storm detention will be provided so that development does not increase peak
flow rates of storm water runoff as approved by the City Engineer.

Kenwood Subdivision.

lots.

Side yard - 15 feet between structures

10. Entrance sign will be constructed of brick, stone or other masonry materials and will be
landscaped.
Mr. Eubanks asked if they add other property to the development, it would increase the size of
the lots and could the plan be amended. Councilman Wood stated the plan could be amended.
Councilman Cramer seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0.

Industrial Compatible Area and Low Density Residential to Medium Density
Residential

Highland and Argo Road due to the increased traffic in the area. Mayor Bacon stated she needs
to talk with Councilman Wood regarding that issue.

granting of this license request. There was no opposition.
Councilwoman Capilouto asked Mr. Janowitz how long he has been the manager of Carrabba's
Italian Grill and he responded he has been the manager since their opening in June of 1996.
Mr. Janowitz stated he has not applied to be the agent due to the requirement of having to be a
Cobb County resident which has now been changed to being a resident of the state. Ms.
Capilouto stated this location has had a pouring license since 1996 and asked Mr. Janowitz if he
was aware the city conducts sting operations and he responded he was aware of that. Ms.
Capilouto stated the Police Department investigation revealed nothing that would preclude the
issuance of this license to Mr. Janowitz.
Councilwoman Capilouto made a motion that the alcoholic beverage license for Carrabba's
