Mayor Bacon said approving the resolution tonight is something that council did not look forward to, nor did they want to have to condemn anyone's property. It has been discussed at length but the deadlines established for the beginning of construction have already passed and they could not afford further delays. Mayor Bacon said the City had been led to believe all along that the owners in this area were willing to negotiate for the sale of their property. ... Presentation: Bill outgoing member of with his appreciation Scoggins presented a crystal jonquil to Maurice Blount, the Parks and Recreation Commission representing Ward 3, for 4 years service to the community. PUBLIC HEARINGS: (A) Variance request - lot width at 3176 Dunn Street. John Patterson stated that Sid Manning is requesting a variance to reduce the minimum front lot width at his home to zero. In 1969, he built a house for his parents behind his home and he would like to now sell the front home and retain ownership of the home on the back for the residence of his mother, by subdividing the lot. Letters were presented from adjacent owners stating they had no objections and there was no opposition from the audience. Mr. Manning said he would like to subdivide the lot to retain ownership of the house and property on the back side. It is a large lot containing 34,000 square feet of land and after being divided, each lot will still contain the minimum square footage required by city code. Ingress to and from the back house will be provided by way of an 8 foot drive easement along the south property line. A 10 foot utility easement along the north property line of the front lot will also serve the rear lot. ... Jim Hawkins made a motion the variance be granted. Bill Scoggins seconded the motion which carried 6-0. (B) Variance request - reduce side yard setback at 590 Wooddale Drive John Patterson the side yard a carport for property owners stated that Leon Faulkner is requesting a variance to reduce setback from 10 to 5 feet at his home to allow construction of his motor home. A letter was provided from the adjacent giving their approval and there was no opposition. Mr. Faulkner said elements.

Kathy Jordan made a motion the variance be approved as requested. Jim Hawkins seconded the motion which carried 6-0. (C) Rezoning request .64 acres at 1559 Roswell street from Limited Commercial to General Commercial. John Patterson said that Mrs. Barbara Davis, owner of property at 1559 Roswell street is requesting this zoning for Mr. Don Rosvold as a condition of purchase to allow construction of a dry cleaners. This lot is surrounded on the north by residential, Future Commercial to the east, RM12 apartments to the south and Neighborhood Shopping to the west. The Planning and Zoning --- approved the request and it has been properly advertised. There was a large group in opposition. Edwin Davis and Mr. Rosvold were sworn in along with 3 others in opposition. Mr. Rosvold said he presently owns a dry cleaners called Rosie's Dry Cleaners on South Cobb Drive. Their business caters to insurance companies and insurance adjusters with 85 to 90% of their business coming from fire damage repairs. They use no other chemicals or do anything differently than other laundries in neighborhood shopping centers; the biggest difference is they are asking for more square footage. Mr. Davis said he owns property at 1559 and 1577 Roswell Street which are the lots on either side of Dobbins Feed Store. There has been quite a bit of confusion about the development and Mr. Davis said the original site plan submitted has now been revised from 8500 to 3500 square feet. The building will have a brick or rock front and all trees on the lot will remain. There are also a few other minor changes that do not appear in the packages that were given to council previously because of the confusion that came from the correct zoning of Dobbins Seed Store, shown as Neighborhood Shopping on the zoning map but recorded in the minutes from 1976 as being zoned General Commercial. Mr. Davis said the only vehicular activity from this property should be one van which picks up and delivers the water and smoke damaged items, with the dry cleaning supplies being delivered by a 24 foot truck once each week. This business has been approved by OSHA and the chemical used in the cleaning process is completely self contained in the equipment. They canvassed their neighborhood with a petition to properly inform the people of their intentions. There were 51 signatures, with no objections to the rezoning but later, two names asked to be deleted. Mr. Davis said there are several different zoning classifications in the area of this property and failure to approve the zoning would be a denial of due process for the use of this property. .... Matt Merritt also spoke for Mr. Rosvold and said he supplied Mike Hutchinson and his assistant with information about the chemical used in their cleaning. The Fire Marshal also read the material and said it was absolutely safe. Jeff Dobbins from Dobbins Feed & Seed Store spoke in opposition to the rezoning and said that when they requested rezoning to General Commercial in 1976 they were told it was not appropriate for the area and a zoning was granted for Neighborhood Shopping. Mr. Dobbins said the minutes from June 1976 were not correct because they stated approval was given for General Commercial on his property. Mr. Dobbins said they would not be opposed to any development that would fall in the Limited Commercial category but did not think a dry cleaning business was compatible with the Eurrounding neighborhood. Mr. Joe Price said that several weeks ago council granted him a variance to add on to his house just west of this site and objected to the encroachment a business activity of this nature. Mr. Price also said he had no objections to a limited commercial development but they felt this area was essentially residential and they would like it to remain that way. .... Deborah Sue letter from which they negative and Gelkin represented the owners of Lexington Apartments and read a the managing general partner in opposition of the development felt would be detrimental to the residents and would cause a irreversible impact on the neighborhood. October 2, 1989 meeting - continued Casey Claven stated she was a homeowner and resident of Roswell street and had been for over 10 years and was opposed to the rezoning from Limited Commercial to General Commercial. Ms. Claven said the laundry would be inappropriate and out of character for the neighborhood. A petition was presented to residents in the neighborhood opposing the zoning which was signed by 75 people. She asked that the zoning be denied by council to protect the interest of all the homeowners and residents in the area who are represented by the petition. ... Bill Scoggins said this has been a very controversial zoning and it had divided people from both sides. Mr. Scoggins said he did not think the safety for the neighborhood had been properly addressed and through his own investigation had learned that there is an odor that comes from some of these plants and felt it would be an undue intrusion on the neighborhood. For those reasons, Bill Scoggins made a motion the zoning at 1559 Roswell Street from LC to GC be denied. Bob Davis seconded the motion. Wade Lnenicka said the ordinance allows 9 specific reasons in Section 1508 to either accept or reject an application for rezoning and he felt a number of those were pertinent to this situation because 1) he did not feel this use is in conformance with the neighborhood; 2) this zoning will affect the existing usability of adjacent or nearby property; 3) applicants have not presented any information as to whether or not the property as zoned now is or is not economically suitable and he would have to presume that it is; 6) earlier tonight there was a lot of talk about preserving old Smyrna and that is a part of it because what happens to neighboring property is negatively affected by this proposed use; 7) contiguous to the application to rezoning is an application for two variances to allow a larger building than would normally be allowed on the lot and the use and size of the building will have a negative affect; 8) the proposed use may create a nuisance or is incompatible with the existing uses in the area; and 9) the proposed use would affect the adjoining property, general neighborhood and other uses in the area negatively. After further discussion, vote on the motion to deny carried 6-0. (D) Variance request reduce lot width and side yard setback for new construction at 1559 Roswell Street. .. No action was taken on the two variances following the zoning denial at this address. (E) Variance request to allow use of Day Care Center in Office/Distribution zoning category at 500 Technology Court. John Patterson said that Wilson Development Company variance to allow operation of a day care facility at which is zoned OD.

John Steely made a motion the variance be approved as requested. Kathy Jordan seconded the motion which carried 6-0. (F) Variance request - reduce side yard setback at 3100 Wills Street. ... John Patterson said that Ms. side yard setback from 10 There was no opposition from a letter from the adjoining the variance. E~a Gilleland is requesting a reduction in the to 7 feet for an attached carport at her home. the audience and Ms. Gilleland had also provided property owner stating they had no objections to Ms. Gilleland she answered a mail advertisement for remodeling and when she received an estimate for the work, was told by the contractor that a building permit was not needed. Ms. Gilleland said the workmanship was defective and she had already lost $1200 on the remodeling work. With little discussion, Wade Lnenicka made a motion the variance be approved. Bob Davis seconded the motion which carried 6-0. FORMAL BUSINESS: October 2, 1989 meeting - continued (A) Revisions to ordinance - Sections 1-8, 3-58, 3-63, 3-65, 8-1, 8-5, 8-6, 8-7, 8-8, 8-9, 15-1 to 15-40, 21-6 and 23-27. John Patterson said recent modifications to the State code required the re-writing of several sections of our city code. John Steely said this is a lengthy document and made a motion that Sections 1-8, 3-58, 3-63, 3-65, 8-1, 8-5, 8-6, 8-7, 8-8, 8-9, 15-1 through 15-40, 21-6 and 23-27 be deleted in their entirety and replaced with the revised sections, along with the revised Recorders Court Bond Schedule associated with the revisions, on file in the office of the City Clerk. Jim Hawkins made a motion which carried 6-0. (B) Resolution - Civil Service Board appointment ...", John Patterson said the City Charter states that any member of the Board may be removed by resolution for missing two consecutive meetings. This matter is being brought to council tonight because one of the Board members has missed several consecutive meetings. Mayor Bacon said a hearing was held on September 25, 1989 to consider the appointment made by the other two Board members, currently held by John Davis. Mr. Davis explained that he had been out of town on a job assignment, causing him to miss 13 consecutive meetings and a total of 23 meetings this year. He did notify the other Board members of his assignment and thought that was all he needed to do. If council approves the resolution, the appointment by Mr. Davis will be terminated and if not, his term will continue. Mayor Bacon read the resolution calling for the termination of John Davis's appointment and the election of a new member by the other two members of the Board as provided in the Charter. John Steely said he knew Mr. Davis had missed a lot of meetings but he had talked to the Civil Service Board and had been assured by the other members that his absences had not delayed the process for hiring a new Police Chief. John Steely said it was hard to find people who enjoyed serving in appointed positions as much as John Davis and he has done a good job. Jim Hawkins also said he had also been told by the other Board members that his absence had not hindered them because he has been here for the vast majority of meetings involving testing and interviewing candidates. He did meet with the other Board members to notify them of his job assignment and was told it would not be necessary for him to resign and they would work with him in any way they could. Mr. Hawkins said the Civil Service Board felt highly of John Davis and thought it would be presumptuous of this council to take him off. ...", Bob Davis also spoke on behalf of John Davis and said he had notified him several months of his job assignment but since he is the member appointed by the other Board members did not think it was necessary to bring to the attention of the Mayor and Council. After further discussion, adoption of the resolution died for lack of a motion.

(F) Resolution - acquisition of property Jim Hawkins read the resolution (copy to be made a part of these minutes) to allow the City to acquire property within the boundaries of the Master Plan prepared for construction of a community center and public library, through condemnation if necessary, and made a motion it be adopted. Bill Scoggins seconded the motion. Jim Hawkins said the City is trying to bring new economic development into the downtown Smyrna area and felt if we did not take some action, there would not be a City of Smyrna to enjoy in years to come. We have tried to be fair, not only to the property owners specified in the resolution, but to all the people in Smyrna to provide a place that we can all be proud of. Smyrna is only 2 miles from the area known as the "platinum triangle" which is one of the finest commercial areas in the southeastern United states, and yet there is very little economic growth here and we seem to be stagnated. Mr. Hawkins said he felt strongly that the community center and library should be in the downtown area and not on other tracts already owned by the City, as has been suggested by some because it will attract other development. Mr. Hawkins said he did not like the idea of condemnation but the action tonight will be in the best interest of all the citizens of Smyrna. Vote on the motion to adopt the resolution carried 6-0. .. Mayor Bacon read the following statement regarding the resolution: "After extensive research and recommendation by several urban planning groups, we have decided to move forward on developing a central downtown area for Smyrna. We have been involved in informal negotiations with a group of citizens over the past 9 months, working with appraisers and the property owners involved to reach an agreement about this important step for the city. We want to work with these citizens who have shown faith in downtown Smyrna by living and working here. In addition to the City purchasing the properties, we will individually strive to accommodate special requests to October 2, 1989 meeting - continued preserve the City's identity and ensure economic growth we have chosen to move forward on this project. Smyrna residents and business people deserve a sense of community and improved quality of life. We are certainly committed to the heritage of Smyrna and because of this we want to create a new pride in our city before we become swallowed in urban expansion in the metropolitan area."

(J) Amendment to Alcoholic beverage ordinance - Section 3-53 John Patterson said several months ago several businesses lost their beer and wine licenses for selling to a minor in a county-wide sting operation. The Mayor suspended their license immediately and at the show cause hearing, council increased the suspension for a period of time. The suspension was appealed to the courts and it was then brought to the City's attention that our ordinance must be revised to allow for any further suspension at the show cause hearing since the current ordinance only allows reinstatement or permanent revocation. The revision will give council the ability to suspend a license for whatever time they feel is appropriate, up to 6 months. ..- Jim Hawkins deleted in City Clerk's made a motion that Section 3-53 of the code of ordinance be its entirety and replaced with the new section, on file in the office.

Bill Scoggins said for the last year, council has agreed to do what they felt would be the right thing for property owners in the Sunset Avenue area and some of the things that did not come out tonight were the things the City has done to show compassion to them. Mr. Scoggins said he is committed to the development of the community center and library.

John Steely stated that curbing on North Cooper Lake Road has not been completed because of the rain and asked everyone to be patient until weather could allow them to complete the project. Mayor Bacon extended his sympathy to Jack Shinall and his family on the loss of his brother. ... Mayor Bacon closed the meeting by restating that council did something tonight that he did not enjoy doing, and that was to start the process for the condemnation or purchase of properties. Mayor Bacon said he loves the City very much and the community he grew up in, which is part of the Sunset Avenue and Powder Springs area because his childhood days were spent here. The City has gotten old, and to the point where we need to do something about it. Mayor Bacon said he commended council for taking the giant step in committing to re-build the downtown area and he is still excited and enthusiastic about it. Mayor Bacon said he would not be intimidated by this move because his goal is to be fair to the public and the businesses because they are committed to doing what is right. We have taken care of the people whose property we have already purchased and have relocated them. Hopefully, this matter can be settled without condemnation, but the City must meet its commitment. meeting adjourned at 11:02 p.m. A/!?;;CON~ BOB WARD 1 -'" ...
