PUBLIC HEARINGS: (A) Application for Bingo License - All Star Athletic Association, Inc., 1000 Windy Hill Road Mr. Thomson stated All Star Athletic Association, Inc., represented by Mr. Pete Woodward, is applying as agent for the association. Mr. Thomson stated further investigation is warranted to determine if the ordinance requirements have been met as far as the legal requirements and the specific lease documents that are required by the City ordinance. Mayor Bacon asked Mr. Woodward to come forward and asked if there was anyone present in opposition to the granting of this privilege license request for bingo. There was none. ... Councilman Hawkins asked Mr. Woodward to explain what he is applying for and why they want bingo at that location. Mr. Woodward stated he is applying for a bingo license primarily to be a fund-raising source for All Star Youth Basketball league. He stated the league has just finished their third season and they would like to offset the costs incurred with putting on a basketball league by making it much more affordable for the parents of Smyrna and the surrounding area. He stated the cost per player has now reached approximately $100 for a three-month season. He stated if they are allowed to have bingo, it will eliminate the need of candy sales, picture sales and any other sales that are necessary through the season. He further stated it would relieve the burden of cost from many of the parents and would reduce the registration cost. ... Councilman Hawkins asked where the bingo games would be held. Mr. Woodward replied at the Windy Hill Flea Market, 1000 Windy Hill Road. Mr. Hawkins then asked if Mr. Woodward holds the lease for the flea market and Mr . Woodward responded he was asked to have the lease changed and have it put in the name of the applicant, All Start Athletic Association, which Halpern Enterprises did. He further stated he had provided copies to the City Administrator and the business license office. Mr. Hawkins then asked if All Star Athletic Association will rent from Halpern Enterprises part of the space at 1000 Windy Hill Road. Mr. Woodward responded the entire lease is now in the name of All Star Athletic Association and they would lease the premises. Mr . Woodward stated he was asked to have All Star Athletic Association lease the entire premises at 1000 Windy Hill Road and they are not leasing just the area where bingo will be held, but the entire building. Mr. Hawkins then asked if All Star Athletic Association would be getting all the proceeds and Mr. Woodward responded yes. Councilman Hawkins asked if the athletic association would be paying Halpern Enterprises rent. Mr. Woodward responded not really, that he had been asked to sign a personal guarantee on the building and he would be paying the rent. Councilman Hawkins then asked Mr. Woodward if he was the head of All Star Basketball and Mr. Woodward responded he was one of the Board of Directors members. Mr. Hawkins stated in Smyrna the only way you can have bingo is to be a non-profit organization and be leasing the building from a non-profit entity and did not know why he had not been informed of that by the Business License . section. He further stated according to the code section no one can profit from the lease even from the proceeds of rent. He stated the application is very borderline because either Halpern Enterprises or Mr. April 17. 1995 meeting - continued Woodward is deriving rent from the building as All Star will be paying somebody for the space and thereby he does not feel it qualifies under the City Code. Mr. Woodward responded All Star is not actually paying the rent and has not paid rent to conduct bingo at that location. He stated all Star Athletic Association is subleasing 19,000 square feet of the 20,300 square feet to the Racer's Edge Inc., who in turn with Jack Halpern's permission is subleasing individual space to individual business owners that are located in the Flea Market. Mr. Hawkins then asked if there was any profit involved at all and was it true that neither Halpern Enterprises or Racer's Edge make any kind of profit from this lease at all. Mr. Woodward responded Jack Halpern would make a profit from the lease. Mayor Bacon stated the question that came up and caused the postponement from an earlier council meeting was the interpretation from the city attorneys that lease or rent payments should be to a non- .... profit organization. Mr. Camp responded that was correct. Mr. Hawkins stated he thought Mr. Woodward's idea to help defray the cost to the parents was good, he was concerned that if this application was approved there would be an influx of applications for bingo locations. Mr. Woodward stated the athletic association would not be making a profit. Mr. Hawkins explained that Mr. Halpern would be receiving profit from leasing the space to All Star Athletic Association and the ordinance states bingo can not be conducted in a building that is owned by a "for profit" business. The ordinance clearly states everyone involved in a bingo operation must be non-profit. Mr. Woodward stated he had a clear understanding of the requirements for bingo operation and understood that when he met with Mr. Thomson two weeks earlier. He stated at that meeting he had asked if there was any other obstacle to overcome in order to request the license and was told no, and that is the reason he is here tonight. He was told to change the lease into the name of All Star Athletic Association (the applicant) which he did. He stated they had been trying for seven weeks to obtain this license. He further stated this was the first he had been told that it could not be done. Mayor Bacon asked if he had been told all that was necessary was to have the lease changed. Mr. Woodward stated the message that was left at his home two days prior to the last council meeting was "we have a problem, come see me about the lease." He stated he came the next business day which was the day of the meeting and he was asked to have the lease switched to the name of the bingo applicant, .... which in this case, is All Star Athletic Association. He stated Jack Halpern could not do it that day and Mr. Thomson checked with the City Attorney and said it had to be in writing and they obtained it the next day. He said he felt it was necessary for him to be present at the last council meeting and he understood at that meeting it was stated he had asked for a two-week extension. He stated he was just asked to bring the lease prior to the start of the meeting and he obtained the changed lease within twenty- four hours. He stated he understood it must be leased from a non-profit organization and he felt he should have been told that two weeks ago, on February 11. Councilman Hawkins stated that was true and he should have been told that at the time he submitted his application. He also stated this item should never have come before this body since it did not meet the legal and technical aspects of a business license application. Councilman Hawkins then proposed that the application be withdrawn and if Mr. Woodward agreed his money could be refunded for the license application and required newspaper advertisement. Mr. Woodward stated he did not really want to withdraw his application because by doing so he would lose his right of appeal. Mr. Woodward further stated he would like to ask the council, based on the State of Georgia's rules and regulations, to consider re-wording of the ordinance. He further stated he did not feel a bingo license would hurt the city of Smyrna or its residents. Councilman Hawkins stated once the laws and ordinances are passed they have to be enforced the same way for everybody and the city does not want organized gambling in the City of Smyrna and that is his concern. Mr. Woodward then stated he would formally withdraw his application for a bingo license at 1000 Windy -- Hill Road in the name of All Star Athletic Association, Inc. Councilman Hawkins made a motion the applicant be allowed to withdraw his application and refund any expenses he may have incurred as far as the advertising of this application based on the grounds that the technical portion of the law was not explained to him at the time he filled out his application. Councilman Cramer seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0. April 17. 1995 meeting - continued Mayor Bacon apologized to Mr. Woodward for his inconvenience and stated the ordinance should have been explained to him at the time his application was submitted. (B) Variance Request - 766 Powder Springs Road - To Have More Than One Accessory Structure on a Lot Mr. Thomson stated the applicant, Ms. Grebe, has two accessory buildings at present, one metal building is old and rusted and she wants to replace it. .... Mayor Bacon asked if there was anyone present in opposition to the granting of this variance request. There was none. Councilman Cramer asked Ms. Grebe to explain to the council what she plans to do. Ms. Grebe stated she has two buildings that she has had since 1962 and has furniture stored in the buildings. She stated the building that is rusted and falling down is the one she would like to replace with an 8' x 12' building she has purchased. She stated she needs two buildings to hold the contents of the building she is replacing. Councilman Cramer asked if the new building would actual upgrade the appearance of the building she is replacing and she replied that was correct. She stated the building she plans to leave standing will be painted to improve its appearance. Councilman Cramer stated there were two signed letters from her neighbors stating they have no objection to this variance request. Councilman Cramer made a motion the variance request to have two accessory structures on one lot at 766 Powder Springs Road be approved. Councilman Hawkins seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0. (C) Variance Request - 1504 Grace Meadows Lane - Reduce Front Yard Setback from 35 Feet to 33.5 Feet Mr. Thomson stated the builder poured a slab with eighteen inches of concrete and one comer of the carport is across the front building line. The applicant states the mistake was inadvertent and it is a comer lot, however, and there is only one contiguous property which is vacant at this time. -- Mayor Bacon asked if the applicant, Richard Van Landingham, was present and asked him to come forward. 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 stated Mr. VanLandingham had contacted our Chief Building Official about two weeks ago when he discovered this problem and then called Mr. Wood. Mr. Van Landingham stated the variance request only affects the right-hand comer of the property and was just an error. Councilman Wood made a motion the variance request at 1504 Grace Meadows Lane to reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 33.5 feet be approved. Councilman Lnenicka seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0. (D) Variance Request - Exceed Maximum Copy Area Square Footage for Free-standing Business Signs - 2200 South Cobb Drive Mr. Thomson stated Branch Associates is developing the Cobb Center Mall and has submitted a variance requesting permission to erect two additional business signs at the property. He stated one of the signs will have a copy area of 228 square feet which exceeds the copy area (120 feet) allowed by the zoning ordinance. Mayor Bacon asked Mr. Steve Wester to come forward and asked if there was anyone present in opposition to the granting of this variance request. There was none. ... Councilman Cramer welcomed both Steve Wester and Bill Coates to the meeting. Mr. Cramer stated it is very exciting to have an area in Ward 5 on South Cobb Drive (Cobb Center) revitalized and passed around pictures for everyone's review. Mr. Cramer thanked the Mayor and Council for their support of this project and stated it is very important for that part of town. Mr. Cramer then asked Mr. Coates to briefly talk about what will be in the revitalized shopping center. Mr. Coates, Vice President of Branch Development, stated they have secured a lease with Publix Super Markets and they will be installing a 57,000 square foot super store in the center and they will also be April 17. 1995 meeting - continued adding approximately 13,500 square feet of shop space. He further stated they will be tearing down a large portion of the mall, basically everything but the theater, which is under a $500,000 renovation process and they have a tenant for the theater, the Rich's building and the bank building will remain. The mall will no longer be a mall but will be a strip shopping center that will face and front on South Cobb Drive. Construction has already begun on the theater and they are in the process of relocating utilities and visual demolition should begin in about sixty days. Mayor Bacon stated he was glad to see the name of the shopping will be changed back to Cobb Center. Councilman Cramer asked Mr. Wester to explain the need for the signs. Mr. Wester stated basically they are going to refurbish the existing, huge sign out in front (on South Cobb Drive) and will be putting in ..... new header lighted panels on it and changing the name back to Cobb Center. He also stated they will be reworking some of the cabinets for the Publix panels and for the King Cinema's panels and then on Pat Mell Road they want to put a secondary entrance monument there, pretty much the same type sign, but scaled down to some degree. He also stated they want to put the King Cinema's free standing sign, on the existing pole and that is where the largest square footage comes from. He stated they felt it is important to have the entrance sign at Pat Mell as well to get maximum recognition for the center. Mayor Bacon asked about what is going on at the theater. Mr. Coates explained they have secured a lease with a theater which will be a $1.50 theater where they will be playing movies that have been out approximately four to six months. The theater operator has a very successful track record and has been in the theater business for over twenty-five years and was president of the former Septum Cinemas. The $500,000 renovations will be to the building and the equipment and there will be six screens in the building. Mr. Coates stated the exterior lighting at the shopping center will be approximately five times greater than lhe existing lighting at the center. Councilman Newcomb asked if they were requesting permission to have three signs. Mr. Coates responded that was correct. Mr. Coates explained there is one existing sign which will be renovated; but the one they are requesting the variance to exceed the square footage is the sign that will be located near the Burger King restaurant (on Pat Mell); and the other sign at South Cobb Drive and Benson Poole Road will be renovated. Councilman Cramer made a motion the variance request at 2200 South Cobb Drive to exceed the ..... maximum square footage copy area for a free standing sign and to erect an additional free-standing sign be approved. Councilman Newcomb asked if it would be possible to have three separate motions on this issue. Councilman Cramer withdrew the motion. Councilman Cramer made a motion that the variance at 2200 South Cobb Drive (located near the Burger King restaurant) to exceed the maximum square footage copy area for the free standing sign be approved. Councilman Wood seconded the motion. Councilman Lnenicka stated he was concerned the council may be setting a precedent for allowing one tenant to request their own sign and while he wants the center to be successful, he stated he could not support this particular motion. Councilman Newcomb stated he would support the motion if it was for all the signs because it has been done for other facilities but he can not support the motion just for the theater. Mayor Bacon stated if it was left up to him he would allow the signs requested to be erected for a $500,000 renovation to a run-down, eyesore in the city of Smyrna. Motion was approved 5-2 with Councilmen Lnenicka and Newcomb opposed. Councilman Cramer made a motion the variance request for Cobb Center Mall at 2200 South Cobb Drive be approved to allow two signs on the same property. Councilman Newcomb seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0. (E) Variance Request - 6016 Bordeau Walk - Reduce Front Yard Setback from 20 Feet to 10 Feet on Cul-de-sac Side of Yard Mr. Thomson stated Mr. Jack Miller is requesting the variance to build a pre-sold home. The surveyor, according to Mr. Miller's information, had done a computer generated placement on the lot and when the surveyor placed the comer stakes on the lot, the rear of the house was only five feet from the lake ...., and placing the house there would present a structural hazard. They are requesting that the house be moved forward another five feet. Mayor Bacon asked if the applicant, Mr. Miller, was present. Councilman Cramer indicated he was not and made a motion the variance request be tabled until the May 1, 1995, council meeting. The motion was seconded by Councilman Scoggins. Motion to table the request was approved 7-0. April 17, 1995 meeting - continued FORMAL BUSINESS: (A) Appointment of DDA Members (One-year Term) Councilman Wood stated the members of the Downtown Development Authority serve one year terms that expire in April of each year and made a motion the following individuals be approved as members of this authority for another year: ...

Councilman Lnenicka seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0. (B) Ordinance to Adopt New Codes for City of Smyrna - Chapters 1-110 and Appendix A Through E .... Councilman Wood stated there have been numerous changes to the Code of Ordinances recently to comply with various state laws and tonight they want to consider enacting a new code for the City of Smyrna, Georgia, providing for the repeal of certain ordinances not included therein providing a penalty for the violation of any such ordinance, providing the manner for amending such code and providing when such code and this ordinance shall become effective. Councilman Wood made a motion that the code entitled "Code Of Ordinances - City of Smyrna, Georgia" published by Municipal Code Corporation consisting of Chapters 1 through 110 and Appendix A through E, each inclusive, be adopted and become effective immediately upon approval of Mayor and Council. Councilman Newcomb seconded the motion. City Attorney Chuck Camp stated he felt this matter should have been a public hearing item. Mayor Bacon asked if anyone present would like to make any comment on the adoption of this motion. Motion was approved 7-0. (C) Validate Petition to Annex Property - 515 Concord Road - Land Lot 339, 17th District, 2nd Section, Parcel 12 Councilman Wood stated Mr. Matthew A. Wade has applied for annexation of the property described below: Being in Land Lot 339, 17th District, 2nd Section of Cobb County, Georgia, being Lot 12, Block "A", Unit One, Concord woods Subdivision, as per plat recorded in Plat Book 21, Page 8, Cobb County Records, and more particularly shown on plat of survey made for Malvin Rowland Wade by John S. Turner, Surveyor, dated August 14, 1979. Councilman Wood made a motion to validate the petition to annex the above described property and set a public hearing date for May 15, 1995. Motion was seconded by Councilman Lnenicka. Motion was approved 7-0. (D) Approval of Land Exchange - City of Smyrna and First Baptist Church .... Councilman Wood stated in order to facilitate parking for the new city hall and court house facility, the city proposes to enter into an agreement to exchange certain properties with the First Baptist Church of Smyrna. He further stated the property to be exchanged is located at 1233, 1241 and 1249 Stephens Street, which is adjacent to property owned by the city on which the court house and municipal services building will be built. He stated Mr. Win Zeliff, Sizemore Floyd Architectural Firm, is present tonight to show exactly why the space is needed to support our new municipal building. Mr. Zeliff displayed a diagram showing the location of the new city hall building/municipal services building and stated the property in question will house somewhere around 240 cars which is necessary for the completion of the project. Mr. Zeliff further stated the exchange in question is the old library site for two houses on Stephens Street and the property adjacent to them and directly behind the new City Hall. He further stated it is imperative that the city have this land in order to construct this building. Mr. Zeliff stated without the property in question, only 150 cars could be housed on the land and with April 17. 199:5 meeting - continued the courts close to 200 spaces for cars will be needed to meet the city's parking requirements. Mayor Bacon stated he felt it was important to note that the City approached the First Baptist Church about this proposed land exchange that the Church did not approach the city. Councilman Cramer stated the church has been agreeable to allow the Fire Department Training Center to remain in its current location (in the old library building) for many months until another location can be found for this training center. Mayor Bacon stated the current old library building does house the Fire Training Center and the C-Mar Credit Union. Councilman Wood stated since this property is imperative to allow adequate parking for the municipal services building and conversely the First Baptist Church needs additional parking adjacent to their facility and the city proposes that the city will acquire the property owned by the city in Land Lot 522 presently occupied by C-Mar Credit Union and Smyrna Fire Department Training Center. He stated this proposed exchange will involve the properties owned by the Church on Stephens Street for the property which now houses the credit union and the training center and as part of that agreement, the church will allow a certain period of time to make a transition of those activities now being carried out in the old library building. The proposal is the church will pay the city $165,000 in addition to the property exchange which represents the various differences in the appraisals for the properties. Councilman Wood then made a motion for the approval of this land exchange between the City of Smyrna and the First Baptist Church. Councilman Hawkins seconded the motion. Councilman Lnenicka stated he would like to note that the city has a legal opinion from the city's law firm that this is acceptable and lawful for the city to exchange this property as opposed to buying one and selling one; that this is a unique situation because of our requirements not only financially is sound as far as the city taxpayers go but also meets the requirements of the law. Councilman Newcomb also stated there is an exchange of cash from the church to the city to balance them out. Mayor Bacon stated the city has a good relationship with the church and it will help us with the parking when church is not in services and without the land it would be very difficult for the city to get the required parking that will be necessary when the new Municipal Services building is completed. Motion was approved 7-0. .- COMMERCIAL BUILDING PERMITS: There were none. BID AWARDS: .....

Ms. Kirk congratulated the citizens of Smyrna for an excellent recycling month in March and stated 205,640 pounds of curbside material was recycled and for the year to date have saved $23,850 in tipping fees.

She also reported the Spring Into Recycling Event held at Southeast Recycling in Marietta last weekend was successful and 1,055 cars came through; over 1,000 tires were dropped off; 8,000 paint cans. She reported this Saturday Smyrna will be having "Adopt A Highway" program beginning at 8:00 a.m. at the recycling education center at Smyrna Hill Drive and will have a cookout there after the ground breaking ceremony.
