PUBLIC HEARINGS:
(A) Variance Request - Northwest Intersection of Atlanta Road and Windy Hill Road -
Reduce Rear Yard Setback from 50 Feet to 40 Feet
Mr. Smith said this request from Muffler King was tabled at the next meeting and the applicant
has requested that this variance be withdrawn. Councilman Hawkins made a motion that the
variance be withdrawn as requested, without prejudice. Councilman Scoggins seconded the
motion which carried 7-0.
(B) Variance Request - Former HESS Station - 3380 South Cobb Drive - To Use Non -
Earth Color or Colors on Canopy
Mr. Smith said this variance is from USA Grocers with James Dugger as the representative.
Mr. Smith stated that Citgo is requesting this change of colors in order to use their corporate
color around the station and on the signage which requires a variance from the overlay district.
There was no opposition to the variance.
Councilman Hawkins said the Community Development Committee met prior to the meeting
here tonight and went over the issues involved in this variance. Citgo has a corporate color
which is a bright red and our overlay requirements on Concord and South Cobb Drive call for
muted colors.
John Boyd represented the applicant and requested that this variance be tabled until he can go
back to Citgo and see if there is any flexibility which would allow them to comply with the
overlay district requirements.
December 20,1999 meeting - continued
Councilman Hawkins made a motion the variance be tabled to the regular meeting of Tuesday,
January 18, 2000. Councilman Lnenicka seconded the motion which carried 7-0.

Mr. Smith said the applicant, Chris S. Tyner, is requesting this variance in order to remove a
detached 2-car garage and replace with an attached 2-car garage with utility room and storage
area, to improve the use of their property. There was no opposition.
Mr. Tyner said there was a detached 2-car carport on the property made of sub -standard
materials, with no way to secure the utility room on the back side of it. They want to add an
attached 2-car garage which will provide better security and improve their property.
Councilman Cramer said they had secured signatures from even more than the two affected
neighbors, stating they have no objections to the addition. Councilwoman Capilouto pointed out
an error on the application which stated the 20 x 28.5 concrete slab to be enclosed is living
space. Mr. Tyner said that is incorrect, and they are just building a garage. Councilman
Cramer said this is an older neighborhood and the structure they are removing is metal, with
corrugated fiberglass roof and this addition will enhance property values.
With no further discussion, Councilman Cramer made a motion the variance be approved as
requested. Councilman Wood seconded the motion which carried 7-0.
(D) Variance Request - 915 Wayland Court - Reduce Rear Yard Setback from 30 Feet to

a copy of the alcoholic beverage ordinance and the business license officer has reviewed it with
him. There was no opposition.
Councilman Scoggins asked Mr. Shaikh how many stores he owned and he replied that they
currently own an establishment at Five Points and this recently acquired liquor store. He
continued he has been in this type business since 1986. Mr. Scoggins asked Mr. Shaikh if any
of his establishments had been involved in a sting operation and he replied they have been

stated he trains his employees to card everyone and places a sign in the store for all customers
to see that states they card everyone. Councilman Scoggins made a motion that the owner and

(B) Approval of Telecommunications Franchise Agreement - City of Smyrna and
Metromedia Fiber Network Services, Inc.
Mr. Smith stated the application of Metromedia Fiber Network Services, Inc., is a revised
version of the franchise agreement for telecommunications that the city originally developed
December 20,1999 meeting - continued
with the Georgia Municipal Association and stated Mr. Andy Macke, GMA, is present this
evening to provide additional information.
Councilman Lnenicka asked Mr. Macke to provide background information about Metromedia
Fiber Network Services, Inc. Mr. Macke responded Metromedia Fiber Network Services is a
competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) business and a competitor to BellSouth for
providing local telecommunications services. He continued that their primary focus is on
business customers and is more of a carrier's carrier in that they put large bundles of fiber in
the ground and then sell capacity to internet service providers, long distance carriers or other
telecommunications providers that want to provide services in the city. Mr. Macke continued
that the Telecommunications Act of 1996 provided for pieces of networks to be sold to various
providers thereby opening the doors of competition. Mr. Macke stated he and the city have
been working on this particular contract for approximately, six months and it is his
recommendation that the city approve the contract as written and dated December 22, 1999.
Mr. Macke stated under the terms of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 the City of Smyrna
is obligated to provide access to the rights -of -way with fair and reasonable compensation under
non-discriminatory terms. Mr. Macke stated the negotiated agreement with Metromedia
provides a 3 % franchise fee, a minimum quarterly fee based on the amount of rights -of -way
that the company is using, notification to the city by the company anytime they are going to do
any kind of construction as well as providing as -built maps once they have completed
construction consistent with the city's permitting process. Mr. Macke stated there are broad
insurance requirements the company is required to carry - $3,000,000 coverage for any
personal injury, death or property damage from any single incident and a total of $4,000,000
coverage over a period of any single year. Mr. Macke stated there is also language to protect
the city should the company decide in the future that it does not have such a great deal and
provides language where the company is not going to challenge the agreement and a most -
favored nations clause which if the city does grant a franchise or the company feels like another
company has a better deal, it provides for a dialogue process in which both parties will enter
into before there is any kind of law suit.
Councilman Lnenicka stated it is the recommendation of the Telecommunications Committee to
adopt and approve this application. Councilman Lnenicka made a motion to approve the
telecommunications franchise agreement between the City of Smyrna and Metromedia Fiber
Network Services, Inc. dated December 22, 1999. Councilman Cramer seconded the motion.
Motion was approved 7-0.
(C) Approval of Telecommunications Franchise Agreement - City of Smyrna and Nextlink
Mr. Smith stated this is the same type contract as described above but with a different
company. See narrative above pertaining to background of contract.
Mr. Macke stated this is very similar to the contract described above with all the terms and
conditions being substantially similar between the two documents. Mr. Macke explained
Nextlink was founded by Craig McCall whose company - McCall's Cellular - was bought out
by AT&T. Mr. Macke stated Nextlink has a similar business plan as Metromedia in that they
do compete with local Bell companies in providing local exchange service principally to
businesses and also have multiple arrangements with other carriers by which they will use
excess capacity and those carriers may be telecommunications companies, internet service
providers, long-distance companies, etc. Mr. Macke stated the city currently has two
additional pending applications - Teleport Communications and Level III Communications - as
well as Media One cable franchise. Mr. Cecil Davis, Vice President of Nextlink, came
forward and stated they have built their switch in Smyrna and have less than 100 employees at
this time but anticipate hiring probably another 50 over the next year. He stated they have
invested over ten million dollars in capital and with the build out of their network plan to invest
another eighteen to twenty in the metro region. Councilman Lnenicka stated it is the
recommendation of the Telecommunications Committee to adopt and approve this application.
Councilman Lnenicka made a motion to approve the telecommunications franchise agreement
between the City of Smyrna and Nextlink dated December 22, 1999. Councilman Cramer
seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0.
