(ERI), a licensed Georgia General Contractor, Utility Contractor, and Engineering Firm is pleased to provide this proposal for the Wood Road Bridge Resurfacing Project. In addition to the above, ERI is a Prequalified Contractor with the Georgia Department of Transportation. Our bridge repair experience is extensive. In so far as the above project, we take no exceptions to the specifications, although due to the time of year and expected temperatures, we will most likely use either Repair Method 2 or Rapid Setting Patching Material. If repair Method 1 is used it would require overnight closures due to slow cure times. General rule for material selections: 1. Repair Method 2 + Use when the majority of areas are greater than 2" deep. + Use when material will reach initial cure at temperatures above 50°. Rapid Setting Patching Material + Use when majority of repair areas are less than 2". Extend with aggregate over 1" deep. + Use when temperatures may drop below 500 or above 400 during cure. Regardless, repairs to be made in accordance with current GDOT Standard Specifications. We understand that Payment and Performance Bonds will be required and have included this cost in our pricing.

Executive Summary: At the behest of City Council, City Manager Chris Lagerbloom, Economic Development Manager William O’Connor and Communications Manager Jason Wright, with the aide of O’Connor, began researching commercial brokerage tools in order to fulfill the city’s strategic plan initiative of creating a climate for financial success. BrokerSavant will, for less than $1,000 a year, establish relationships with local commercial real estate brokers and list their properties online through a Web site linked to the city’s existing page. The site will look similar to the city’s page, and will be updated monthly with all commercial properties available in the City of Milton. City staff will not expend additional time or resources on the tool after launch. Once agreements are signed, it is built and placed on the city’s site through a link, then runs independently. Funding and Fiscal Impact: $996 a year. Funded through Hotel/Motel tax fund. Alternatives: Continue to not list commercial properties.

RZ12-15 2/8/2013 Page 10 of 23 SUBJECT SITE: The subject site contains .5240 acre and the applicant is requesting to rezone to the H (Historic) district for the existing 1,179 square foot building, previously used as a country store. Specifically, the applicant has stated the following in his revised letter of intent* regarding the previous use of the structure. “Beginning in the late 1940’s to the early 1950’s, the store building at the northeast corner of the property was used as a general store and small town gathering place, while maintaining the rural atmosphere and charm of the area….Patrons came to the Hardeman Store to obtain grocery staples such as bread, eggs, flour and milk. The store carried items obtained locally, including fresh meat and vegetables, jellies and jams, cheese and baked goods. Reflecting the community it served, the store carried hardware, seed and feed and sundry items. The store also carried homemade sandwiches, hot coffee, and lunch items, and provided grocery delivery in the immediate area. Seasonal items, such as pumpkins, hay bales and pine straw, wreaths and Christmas trees were offered, and artfully displayed to draw in customers.” The revised letter of intent* further states, “ In keeping with these traditions, the following conditions of use of the store are requested: retail service commercial and accessory uses permitted in C-1 (Community Business) District, and consistent with historic use as a country store including catering, carryout and delivery; delicatessen; retail store or shop selling groceries, hardware, seed and feed, sundry items, homemade food, beverages, etc; but specifically excluding (a) those uses prohibited under Article VI, Section 64-395. (Uses prohibited in all zoning districts); (b) garage, automobile repair or automotive specialty shop; (c) convenience stores, and gas stations; (d) landscaping business or garden center; (e) financial establishment and (f) roadside vending.” BACKGROUND: Staff notes that on August 20, 2012, the Mayor and City Council designated the subject building as historic. This requirement must be met before request to rezone a building to the H (Historic) district can be submitted. Additionally, Section 64-953 (c) states: “The proposed historic use shall be limited to those historic structures identified on the subject property and may not be expanded.” Therefore, if this request is approved, a condition will be provided listing uses to be excluded based on the previous historic use of the structure. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on February 20, 2013 *Based on a revised site plan and revised letter of intent received by the Community Development Department on January 9, 2013. RZ12-15 2/8/2013 Page 11 of 23 SITE PLAN ANALYSIS Based on the applicant’s revised site plan and revised letter of intent submitted to the Community Development Department on January 9, 2013, Staff offers the following considerations: Pursuant to Section 64-954, Development Standards for the H (Historic) District, the following is stated: “In order to allow for the unique nature of the properties receiving the H district classification, there are no district-specific-development standards. However, all other requirements of the subject property’s overlay district and the City of Milton Zoning Ordinance, including, but not limited to those identified in Section 64-955, shall be maintained. In addition, the Milton City Council shall consider the subject property’s overlay district and City of Milton Zoning Ordinance as it pertains to the proposed historic use, and may adopt reasonable conditions of zoning with respect to the following, without the need for a variance.” Per the following sections, the applicant and Staff are requesting the following conditions for the subject site as requested per a revised letter of intent received by the Community Development on January 9, 2013: 1. Section 64-1141 (3)(a): Reduce the 50 foot buffer and 10 foot improvement setback to a 10 foot landscape strip along the south property line of the property intersecting with Hopewell Road and running North 68 degrees 21 minutes 12 seconds West a distance of 89.69 feet. (Staff notes that this already mentioned in #3 below. Therefore this condition is not required.) 2. Sec. 64-1141(3)(a): Reduce the 50-foot buffer and 10-foot improvement setback to a 10-foot landscape strip along Thompson Road and a minimum 40-foot buffer at the easterly end to a 36-foot buffer on the westerly end along the south line of the Property (parallel to Thompson Road), running from the corner of an existing driveway North 80 degrees 44 minutes 27 seconds West 190.43 feet to the westerly property line.* (Shown on the site plan below as orange.) 3. Section 64-1141(3)(a): To delete the 50 foot buffer and 10 foot improvement setback along the southwest property line of property running from Hopewell Road North 68 degrees 10 minutes 12 seconds West 89.69 feet and North 21 degrees 34 minutes 48 seconds West 35.46 feet to the northerly line of an existing driveway for Outparcel 2 and North 60 degrees 44 minutes 57 seconds West 29.57 feet. (Shown on the site plan below as green.) 4. Section 64-1433(f))(1): To reduce the 25 foot setback for parking adjacent to residentially used property to 10 feet along the south property line. Staff notes Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on February 20, 2013 *Based on a revised site plan and revised letter of intent received by the Community Development Department on January 9, 2013. RZ12-15 2/8/2013 Page 12 of 23 that this zoning reference is taken from the C-1 (Community Business) district requirements. There currently is not a similar requirement for the H (Historic) district, but this will be included in the Conditions of Zoning. (Shown on the site plan below as green.) 5. Section 64-1145 (6)(c): To allow onsite parking located to the front of a building or between a building and the public right-of-way (Hopewell Road). 6. Section 64-1141 (1)(a): Provide a minimum 10 foot wide landscape strip along all public streets. (Shown on the site plan below as blue.) 7.

All the items listed above will be included in the Recommended Conditions. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on February 20, 2013 *Based on a revised site plan and revised letter of intent received by the Community Development Department on January 9, 2013.

RZ12-15 2/8/2013 Page 14 of 23 Signage The applicant has also requested to permit signage in keeping with the historical designation of the store building. These include projecting signage and wall sign logos, as seen in the photographs within the Letter of Intent dated September 4, 2012. Before installation of any signage, the owner must first obtain a Certificate of Appropriateness under Article XVIII of the Milton Zoning Ordinance. A Condition of Zoning will be included to reflect this request. Parking Requirements The site plan submitted indicates a total of 5 parking spaces of which one is handicap accessible located in front of the building.* The existing structure proposed for retail use is 1,179 square feet. Pursuant to Sec. 64-1410, Calculations, 4 spaces per 1,000 square feet are required. Based on this calculation, a total of 5 spaces are required. Traffic Study The applicant has supplied a traffic count that was conducted on December 17, 2012 which was a date approved by the Public Works Department. A copy of it is provided at the end of this report. Based on this count, the maximum number of cars that stacked on Thompson Road was six cars. This is an acceptable number of cars to meet the 300 feet or 95% queue distance as required by the Public Works Department. In addition, the revised site plan indicates a right in/right out only on Hopewell Road as well as the widening of the entrance/driveway for the full access on Thompson Road. The Public Works Department has included a condition for the driveways’ site distance shall be certified by a professional engineer. This condition, as well all of the Recommended Conditions must be met prior to the approval of a Certificate of Occupancy and Business License. ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ANALYSIS The Environmental Site Analysis (ESA) report is sufficient and satisfies the requirement of Section 64.2126. A field survey of the site was conducted by Staff to verify areas addressed in the ESA report. The proposed site does not contain wetlands, floodplains, streams, steep slopes, historical sites or sensitive plant and animal species. As mentioned above, the building was designated historic on August 20, 2012. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on February 20, 2013 *Based on a revised site plan and revised letter of intent received by the Community Development Department on January 9, 2013. RZ12-15 2/8/2013 Page 15 of 23 Staff also notes that in the past the building has operated as a general store with gas pumps. According to the applicant, the tanks were removed prior to the purchase of the property. ARBORIST COMMENTS Based on the site plan and the tree survey provided, none of the trees will be impacted by the proposed uses.

RZ12-15 2/8/2013 Page 16 of 23 Standards of Review (Section 64-2104) Planning Staff shall, with respect to each zoning application, investigate and make a recommendation with respect to factors 1 through 7, below, as well as any other factors it may find relevant. 1. Whether or not the proposal will permit a use that is suitable in view of the use and development of adjacent and nearby Property? It is Staff’s opinion that the proposed general store will be suitable in view of the use and development of adjacent and nearby property. The site fronts on two roads to the North and East. To the South, a single family residence is located on the same parcel. The residentially used property to the West is located approximately 300 feet from the subject building with a 50 foot undisturbed buffer adjacent to it. 2. Whether or not the proposal will adversely affect the existing use or usability of adjacent or nearby property? It is Staff’s opinion that the proposal will not adversely affect existing use or usability of the adjacent properties as described above if approved with the Recommended Conditions. 3. Whether the property to be affected by the proposal has a reasonable economic use as currently zoned? The subject site may not have a reasonable use as currently zoned AG-1 (Agricultural) based on the small size of the building and its location at the intersection of two streets. 4. Whether the proposal will result in a use which will or could cause an excessive or burdensome use of existing streets, transportation facilities, utilities or schools? Based on the traffic counts provided by the applicant and review by the transportation department, Staff does not anticipate a significant impact on existing streets, transportation facilities, utilities, or schools as proposed if the required site improvements listed in the Recommended Conditions are made to the site. 5. Whether the proposal is in conformity with the policies and intent of the land use plan? Future Land Use Plan Map: Agricultural, Equestrian, Estate Residential Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on February 20, 2013 *Based on a revised site plan and revised letter of intent received by the Community Development Department on January 9, 2013. RZ12-15 2/8/2013 Page 17 of 23 Proposed use/density: General store / 2,250 square feet per acre The 2030 Future Land Use Plan Map suggests Agricultural, Equestrian, Estate Residential for the subject site and for properties surrounding the subject site, except for Bell Memorial Park to the southeast and the City of Milton Fire Station to the west. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the following Plan Policy if developed with the recommended conditions: “We will expand the identification, documentation, and protection of historic, cultural, and archaeological resources in the city, and when possible encourage access by the public.” 6. Whether there are other existing or changed conditions affecting the use and development of the property which gives supporting grounds for either approval or disapproval of the proposal? The proposed H (Historic) district structure will be utilized as a country store, and that type of use is not consistent with Agricultural, Equestrian, and Estate Residential. But the purpose of the H (Historic) district is intended to allow for a historic structure to be used, protected, renovated and preserved on its historic value to the community. It may allow a specific, previous use to continue in a structure where that use would be considered nonconforming as defined in the current City of Milton Zoning Ordinance. This designation will help preserve the rich traditions of history and culture evident in Milton’s original settlement. Therefore, Staff supports the approval of this request to rezone from AG-1 (Agricultural) to the H (Historic) district. 7. Whether the zoning proposal will permit a use which can be considered environmentally adverse to the natural resources, environment and citizens of the City of Milton? The proposed use will not be environmentally adverse to the natural resources, environment and citizens of the City due to the required development regulations. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on February 20, 2013 *Based on a revised site plan and revised letter of intent received by the Community Development Department on January 9, 2013. RZ12-15 2/8/2013 Page 18 of 23 CONCLUSION Although the proposed rezoning is inconsistent with the Future Land Use Plan’s recommendation of Agricultural, Equestrian, and Estate Residential, it is Staff’s opinion that by rezoning it to H (Historic) it is consistent with the intent of the H (Historic) district to preserve the rich traditions of history and culture in Milton. In addition, Staff has included a set of Recommended Conditions that will ensure that the proposed general store will not have a negative impact on the surrounding community. Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of RZ12-15 to rezone from AG-1 (Agricultural) to H (Historic) district.

REVISED SITE PLAN SUBMITTED JANUARY 9, 2013 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members From: Carter Lucas, PE – Director of Public Works Date: Submitted on February 7, 2013 for the February 20, 2013 Regular Council Meeting Agenda Item: Consideration to Accept an Application for the Abandonment of a Portion of Black Oak Road ______________________________________________________________________________ Department Recommendation: Accept for further review. Executive Summary: Black Oak Road is a dead end gravel road located in the northeast quadrant of the city in land lots 183, 250 and 251 of the 2nd district, 2nd section. It is a 60 foot right of way that runs east, southeast from Hopewell Road approximately 1,750 feet and ends on the applicant’s tract of land. Currently 1,130 feet of the right of way, as measured from Hopewell Road, is maintained by the city. The applicant is requesting that approximately 1,000 feet of right of way on their property be abandoned for future development. The portion to be abandoned would only be that portion that enters the applicant’s property and access to all existing homes would remain. Black Oak Road Cherokee County Forsyth County Privatization-Abandonment Page 2 of 2 Under the current privatization ordinance each application received to abandon or privatize any right-of-way must first receive an initial hearing before the Mayor and City Council to determine whether or not to accept the application for processing. At this meeting the Mayor and City Council may decide to accept the application or deny the application without further discussion. Acceptance of the application by the council does not constitute final approval of the application or the abandonment of the public road or right-of-way, or any portion thereof, it merely allows the application to proceed through the process. At this stage staff has not made a determination of the merits of the application only that it meets the minimum requirements to begin the evaluation. It should be noted that the abandonment of a road or right of way requires that the City Council make a finding of one of the following with respect to the roadway in question: 1. That no substantial public purpose is served by it; or, 2. That its removal from the municipal street system is in the best public interest. If the Mayor and City Council approve the application to move forward it shall be the responsibility of the applicant to prove to the satisfaction of the city that one of these conditions has been met. The supporting information provided by the applicant will be made available for the Mayor and Council to review prior to the initial public hearing. Funding and Fiscal Impact: N/A Alternatives: Deny the acceptance of the application and maintain the right-of-way as necessary.

("Ryland") in connection with its purchase of 105.17 acres of land located in the City of Milton. Chapter 48, Article III, Division 2, Section 48- 158(a)(2)(d) requires all applicants for road abandonments to submit documentation establishing the factual basis upon which the abandonment request is made. This letter is intended to serve as the documentation required by the preceding Code section. Black Oak Road is a dirt road, purportedly sixty (60) feet wide, which connects to Hopewell Road and dead ends at a lake located on Ryland's property. Black Oak Road does not connect to any other road other than Hopewell Road. Black Oak Road currently serves several parcels of land which are more clearly depicted on the survey attached hereto as Exhibit "A." Ryland is proposing to develop its property into a single-family detached subdivision consisting of seventy-seven (77) lots. A copy of the conceptual site plan is attached hereto as Exhibit `B." Ryland is seeking abandonment of the portion of Black Oak Road highlighted in pink on Exhibit "A" in order to facilitate the development of its property. As you can see on the concept plan, Ryland's internal subdivision streets will connect directly onto Hopewell Road, thereby eliminating any public need for the abandoned segment. All of the property owners other than Ryland, who currently use Black Oak Road to access their properties will still be able to do so. The current owner of Ryland's property owns all of the property along both sides of Black Oak Road where the proposed abandonment will occur, and is therefore, the only property owner affected by the proposed abandonment. Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request that the City Council abandon the portion of Black Oak Road highlighted on Exhibit "A." Thank you for considering our request and please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Kindest re arils, PoshuZ A.

Page 1 of 3 STATE OF GEORGIA COUNTY OF FULTON RESOLUTION NO. ______ A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING LOCAL LEGISLATION BY THE GEORGIA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATE AMENDING AND CLARIFYING THE CITY OF MILTON CHARTER THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MILTON HEREBY RESOLVES while in regular session on the 18th day of February, 2013: WHEREAS, the City of Milton, Georgia is created and its powers derived from its Charter, which is approved by the State Legislature; and WHEREAS, a Charter Commission convened five years after Milton’s incorporation to provide recommendations for the Local Delegation to consider; specifically, their recommendations sought to clarify or amend sections determined to be ambiguous or in need of modification for operational reasons; and WHEREAS, certain clarifications or alterations are not included in this Resolution as they may be executed through the Mayor and City Council’s powers of home rule; and WHEREAS, there are five topics requiring action by the General Assembly; and WHEREAS, after input from many groups and individuals, including but not limited to, the Mayor and City Council, the Charter Commission, the Local Delegation, Milton Staff, the Milton City Attorney, the Milton Financial Advisor, Community Professionals and Milton Citizens, it is concluded local legislation is supported and warranted; and WHEREAS, the 2010 Census reveals electoral districts, as originally contemplated at the city’s incorporation, are now unbalanced due to substantial population growth and offer a potential threat to the fundamental freedom of fair and equal representation; and WHEREAS, in weighing those circumstances, Milton requests the Local Delegation consider redistricting the city by consolidating six districts into three, with two members of Council elected from each of the three districts serving staggered terms with a Mayor elected at large; and WHEREAS, the Charter provides for a Mayoral veto; and WHEREAS, as contemplated in the Charter, the strength of that Mayoral veto is ambiguous; to clarify, it has been interpreted by Legal Counsel that the threshold to overturn such a veto could be only a simple majority (the same threshold of Page 2 of 3 any vote), and because of this, the veto practically does not exist; thus, a stronger threshold to overturn is appropriate; and WHEREAS, the Charter specifies the millage rate cap is subject to modification if “approved by a majority of the eligible voters of the city by referendum” and contains ambiguity regarding the definition of eligible voters as indicated by the city attorney and legislative counsel of the Georgia General Assembly and the interpretation could subject the city to court challenge; and WHEREAS, the millage rate cap language in the Charter requires further clarification specifying that the qualified voters are the voters participating in a referendum, and it pertains to operating budget purposes; and WHEREAS, the original Charter adopted by the General Assembly creating Milton and approved by an overwhelming majority of voters did not contain term limits; and WHEREAS, there are more than 500 cities in the State of Georgia and research by the Georgia Municipal Association identified less than 25 of them had any term limit placed upon the Mayor or the City Council and only two cities with similar, but less restrictive, term limits; and WHEREAS, there is value in recognizing the elected historical experience of the Mayor and City Council and its support of effective and continuous municipal operations; and WHEREAS, in more closely aligning Milton with other cities in the State of Georgia and the Metro Atlanta region, limiting elected officials to three consecutive terms is reasonable; and WHEREAS, the Charter calls for the Mayor and City Council to select a Mayor Pro Tempore to act on behalf of the Mayor in his stead, and that the selection shall be from amongst themselves by majority vote; and WHEREAS, in order to not conflict with the staggered election cycle and allow rotation of the responsibility, we support the Mayor Pro Tempore term to be one year, elected by a majority vote of the Mayor and Council at their first regularly scheduled meeting of each calendar year. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THIS COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MILTON, GEORGIA: 1. That this Resolution is intended to officially indicate the support of the Mayor and City Council for the modifications and clarifications needed in the Milton Charter; and Page 3 of 3 2. The Mayor and Council are appreciative of the Local Delegation for their desire to make modifications and clarifications to the Milton Charter when they are determined appropriate; and 3. The City Manager is directed to deliver this Resolution to the Local Delegation for their consideration. RESOLVED this 18th day of February, 2013.
