Part A - Scope of Work Task 1 - Concept -Level Peer Review 1. Operational Analysis • KAI will review the operational analysis (prepared by Stantec) for the two proposed roundabouts for design year traffic conditions (am and pm peak hours). The intent of the review is to verify that single -lane roundabouts will provide acceptable operations at both locations. 2. Roundabout Design Peer Review KAI will review the horizontal design concept (which includes two single -lane roundabouts) developed by Stantec and will provide redline markups of potential areas for design refinement. The review will be conducted based upon the design principles outlined in NCHRP Report 672, Roundabouts: An Informational Guide - 2nd Edition and as augmented by KAI's practical and research experience. 1. KAI will review the horizontal design related to the following design objectives: a. Fastest Path Speeds - KAI will verify that the proposed design meets performance objectives for fastest path speed control. b. Design vehicle accommodation - KAI will review the design vehicle swept path to verify that the roundabout designs adequately accommodate the design vehicle for each of the turning movements. Design vehicle checks will be provided by Stantec for KAI's review Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Orlando, Florida Roundabout Peer Review Project #:12011 September 2, 2011 Page: 2 of 3 c. Multimodal accommodation (Pedestrian and Bicycle features) 2. As necessary, KAI will prepare one set of pencil sketch drawings over scaled base mapping to illustrate potential improvements to address identified design issues. 3. Report and Documentation KAI will prepare a brief bullet point memorandum to summarize key findings from Tasks 1 and 2. Redline mark-ups will be provided to illustrate any comments related to the horizontal design. 4. Coordination KAI will participate in one phone conference call to discuss the results of the review and clarify any questions that the project team may have with addressing the comments. This scope does not include preparatory time (graphics and handouts) or attendance time for any public hearings or meetings. All client requests for additional presentations and meetings of this nature will be accommodated on a time -and -materials basis and will be considered out - of -scope work. Task 2 - 2nd Round of Concept -Level Peer Review (Optional Task - Additional Authorizations Required. Estimated at $3,500) Based upon the extent of the recommended changes from Task 1, the County may elect to have KAI perform a 2nd round of peer review of the concept design once Stantec has completed addressing the comments from the initial review under Task 1. KAI will perform a geometric review of the concept design and will provide redline mark-ups identifying additional areas of potential design refinement. Comments at this 2nd round of review are anticipated to be smaller in scale and therefore concept sketches of potential improvements are not included in this scope of work. 1. KAI will re -review the horizontal design related to the following design objectives: a. Fastest Path Speeds - KAI will verify that the proposed design meets performance objectives for fastest path speed control after addressing the 1St round of design comments. b. Design vehicle accommodation - KAI will review the design vehicle swept path to verify that the roundabout designs adequately accommodate the design vehicle for each of the turning movements after addressing the 1St round of design comments.

The subject site is undeveloped and is located within the Agricultural, Equestrian and Estate Residential designation on the 2030 Comprehensive Land Use Plan.

A. Whether or not the proposal will permit a use that is suitable in view of the use and development of adjacent and nearby Property? The proposed 16 lot single family residential subdivision developed at a density of 3.67 units per acre is inconsistent with the existing single family residential development to the north, west and northwest of the subject site. Staff notes that to the south and southwest are Cambridge High School and Kings Ridge Christian School respectively, which are more intensive uses than the proposed 16 lot single family residences. It is Staff’s opinion based on the current 2030 Future Land Use Plan Map that the proposed use is unsuitable with adjacent uses to the north, west, and northwest of the subject site. B. 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 may adversely affect existing use or usability of the adjacent properties as described above. The proposed development does not provide a transition between the existing densities and uses to the north and northwest, but may provide transition to the uses to the south and southwest. C. Whether the property to be affected by the proposal has a reasonable economic use as currently zoned? The subject site may have a reasonable use currently zoned AG-1 (Agricultural). D. 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? Staff does not anticipate a significant impact on public services or utilities. Comments from the Fulton County Board of Education are included in the report as it relates to the estimated number of new students for the proposed rezoning which will have an impact on the elementary and middle schools. The applicant will be required to provide the transportation improvements listed in the recommended conditions. These improvements will help ameliorate the increased amount of traffic created by the proposed development. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the City of Milton Mayor and City Council Meeting on March 18, 2013 3/7/2013 Page 11 of 19 RZ12-17/U12-02/VC12-08 E. Whether the proposal is in conformity with the policies and intent of the land use plan? 2030 Future Land Use Map: Agricultural, Equestrian, Estate Residential (AEE) Proposed use/density: Single Family Residential at 3.67 units per acre The 2030 Future Land Use Map suggests AEE for the subject site and the properties to the east and to the north which is inconsistent with the proposed development. Staff notes that the 2030 Land Use Plan suggested that this area be more thoroughly evaluated the future. Currently, Staff has initiated the Hwy 9 North Study to evaluate areas not included in the recently adopted Deerfield/Hwy 9 LCI Plan. The subject site is within the study boundary of the Hwy 9 North Study. F. 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 development is inconsistent with adjacent and nearby zonings to the north and east and is inconsistent with the Future Land Use Plan which shows the subject site should be AEE. Since the adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, Cambridge High School has been built on property that was zoned for single family residential. In addition, the eastern portion of the subject site lies within the “Priority Master Planning Area” of Hwy 9. In the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, it states the following: “Though the area is subject to a zoning overlay district that includes aesthetic controls and design review requirements, the community has expressed the desire to develop a full Master Plan and Market Study for the area similar to those for Crabapple Crossroads and Birmingham Crossroads. The Master Plan should ensure that the area remains economically viable, avoids unattractive strip development and recruits businesses and services that will benefit the city of Milton while being sensitive to the many residents that live in the area….During the Master Planning process, the area will be thoroughly studied to determine the appropriate land uses and suggest any amendments to the comprehensive future land use map in this document.” The subject site has been included in the Hwy 9 North Study, which is currently underway to further determine the appropriate use. Based on the fact that the current Future Land Use Plan recommends AEE, it is grounds to recommend disapproval for the proposed TR (Townhouse Residential) zoning developed with single family residential units. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the City of Milton Mayor and City Council Meeting on March 18, 2013 3/7/2013 Page 12 of 19 RZ12-17/U12-02/VC12-08 G. 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 as it pertains to stormwater facilities, tree recompense and landscape requirements. SITE PLAN ANALYSIS This proposed rezoning previously had been a part of a larger development that included a 95 unit assisted living facility. After further evaluation, it was determined that the TR (Townhouse Residential) district was not appropriate. The subject application currently only includes 16 units of single family residential and therefore no longer requires the Use Permit for an assisted living facility. In addition, the concurrent variance requesting to increase the height of the assisted living facility from two stories to three stories is no longer needed. Therefore, the applicant requests the withdrawal of U12-02 and Part 1 of VC12- 01. Staff also recommends WITHDRAWAL of U12-02 and Part 1 of VC12-01. Based on the applicant’s revised site plan submitted to the Community Development Department on February 11, 2013, Staff offers the following considerations: Below are the development regulations required for detached, single family residences located within the TR (Townhouse Residential) district (Sec 64-669) Standard Proposed Standard Consistent or Inconsistent Height – 40 feet None Stated, but must meet the minimum standard Consistent Min. Lot size per unit – 2,000 sq. ft. 2,000 square feet Consistent Max. Density – 9 u/a 3.67 units per acre Consistent Min. Lot width – 20 feet 50 feet Consistent Min. TR Development Width – 35 feet 700 feet along Bethany Bend Consistent Min. lot frontage – 20 feet 50 feet Consistent Min. heated floor area – 1,100 sq.ft. None given Applicant must provide min. heated floor area but if approved Staff has required 2,500 square feet. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the City of Milton Mayor and City Council Meeting on March 18, 2013 3/7/2013 Page 13 of 19 RZ12-17/U12-02/VC12-08 Min. development setback: Front – 40 feet 20 feet along Bethany Bend Inconsistent - Applicant requests a concurrent variance, VC12-08, Part 2 Min. development setback: Side – 30 feet 30 feet along east property line Consistent Min. development setback: Rear – 35 feet 75 feet along the north property line Consistent Min. lot setback: Front – 20 feet Lots except #14, 15, 16 meet the minimum Inconsistent - Staff notes there is additional area to comply with this requirement Min. Lot setback: Side – 7 feet with total 14 foot separation 5 feet with total of 10 foot separation Inconsistent - Applicant requests a concurrent variance, VC12-08, Part 3 Min. lot setback: Rear – 25 feet 20 feet Inconsistent - Applicant requests a concurrent variance, VC12-08, Part 4 Max. lot coverage for entire development (bldg. footprint and parking)– 50% It appears to meet the 50% lot coverage Consistent Single family residential developments are not under the purview of the SR 9 Overlay District. Staff notes that a 75 foot setback with a portion of that setback is proposed to be planted with vegetation. This is not a requirement of the Zoning Ordinance. A detention facility is provided along the north property line which is permitted in this location. Concurrent Variances As mentioned above, Part 1 of VC12-08 will be withdrawn which is no longer needed. Therefore, Staff recommends WITHDRAWAL of Part 1, VC12-08. Part 2 of VC12-08 - To reduce front periphery setback from 40 feet to 20 feet along Bethany Bend adjacent to the single family lots (Sec 64-669 (h)(1)). Part 3 of VC12-08 - To reduce the minimum side yard setback for single family lots from 7 feet to 5 feet (Sec 64-669(i)(2)(a)). Part 4 of VC12-08 - To reduce the minimum rear setback for the single family lots from 25 feet to 20 feet (Sec 64-669(i)(3)) Prepared by the Community Development Department for the City of Milton Mayor and City Council Meeting on March 18, 2013 3/7/2013 Page 14 of 19 RZ12-17/U12-02/VC12-08 Based on Staff’s recommendation of denial of proposed residential subdivision, Staff recommends DENIAL of VC12-08, Parts 2 through 4.

Common concerns of the proposed development dealt with issues associated with traffic, drainage, buffers, and scheduling of services. The community and the applicant have had continuous discussions since the Community Zoning Information Meeting regarding the development. City of Milton Design Review Board Meeting – December 4, 2012 The following comment was made by the DRB: • They stated that the architecture was sufficient. Public Participation Plan and Report The applicant has met the requirements of the Public Participation Plan. The applicant will be required to submit the public participation report 7 days prior to the Mayor and City Council meeting. CONCLUSION Based on the applicant’s request to withdraw the petition, Staff recommends WITHDRAWAL of RZ12-17, U12-02, and VC12-08, Parts 1-4. Staff has included a set of Recommended Conditions if the Mayor and City Council so choose to approve RZ12-17 and VC12-08, Parts 2-4.

I attended the November 28,2012 Community Zoning Information Meeting regarding the applicant Arrowhead Real Estate Partners. After reviewing the proposed development of the nine acres that front our neighborhood and the requested variances I am totally against this request.

The proposal is in direct conflict with my understanding of the general approach to developing Milton as a low density community. Specifically we have two large schools in that area which have not yet reached full enrollment with the Christian Academy constructing their high school and traffic is already a burden. An assisted living facility will generate both visitor and commercial traffic compounded by a proposed exit on Cogburn very close to a lighted intersection. A setback reduction to twenty feet, building separation of five feet (fire control risk) and a proposed three story facility fly in the face of a community concept which I thought focused on quality of life. We already have two senior facilities under construction in the general area and the Alpharetta/Milton area is awash in vacant/repossessed townhornes. I hope developer profit will not triumph over a professional Milton development plan. Roger Kubler 404-394-7510 December 17, 2012 Memo to: Planning Commission, Mayor and Council This correspondence relates RZ12-17/U12-08/ Bethany Bend and Cogburn Road. My husband and I are citizens of the city of Milton and reside at 2500 Bethany Church Road on a ten acre parcel where we have a horse farm. When we purchased our parcel, we carefully investigated the definition of AG -1 and deemed it our responsibility to understand what the land could be sold as in the future. We purchased our parcel with the knowledge that our ground could only be sold as a farm or one home per acre as described in the AG -1 zoning description. This due diligence is part of any land acquisition and befalls the purchaser. The parcel of land identified in this rezoning notice is identified in the City of Milton Comprehensive Land Use Plan as AG -1. For this reason, I request that our city leadership adhere to this plan as you refer to the Land Use Plan. Many of you tirelessly gave your time, 18 months worth to develop this land map as to how we should develop our unique city. This is now the time to put into action the process for which we all have planned for. Additionally, this parcel does not fall under our sewerable land parcels. Our Sewer map was another painstaking process that warrants your compliance when considering this rezoning. Finally, we have had the opportunity to visit many of the communities in the Northeast and in the heart of horse country, for example Tryon, N.C. These communities strictly adhere to their policies for land development and it shows. They have become unique communities that attract the most desirable residents and business ventures. Milton can be the same way, we just need to adhere to the carefully thought out plans that we have all worked so hard to put into place. I respectfully request that you hold firm on our Land Use and Sewer plans and deny this rezoning. There 15 a desire for one acre lots for homes located across from premier high schools in North Fulton. This is evidenced by the Six Hills neighborhood across from Milton High School.

This request to allow a high density, 2 -story, 95 -unit Assisted Living and 17 townhome development on that parcel of land does is just plain irresponsible in my opinion. Not only does it go against the sewer requirements and the 2030 CLUP that was adopted in 2011, but it shows zero planning for the future. That corner has a brand new H.S. that is no where near capacity and another HS currently under construction (KRCS). This has been designated as a "transitional" area within the Highway 9 corridor and nothing about putting a high density housing development there is "transitional". This specific area already cannot handle the traffic flow (highway 9 & Bethany Bend) and there is nothing we can do about it because Highway 9 is a state road. Why in the world would you ever consider high density for the proposed lot when traffic flow in this im mediate area is already an issue and it is only going to get worse as the schools grow? Please, think about this and what it will do to the area. We are trying to avoid future grid lock, not add to it. This is not what the residents want and goes against all plans for the proposed area. There is a reason the CLUP did not designate that for high density and please hold firm to that original agreement.

Subject: 9 Acre Bethany BendtCogburn Road Proposal Good day Robin, George, Paul and members of the Planning Commission, I and my neighbors in the Dakstone Glen Subdivision are vehemently opposed to the Rezoning request and development being proposed for the 9 acre property (cornea of Bethany & Cogburn (toads) and directly adjacent to our properties. Suffice to say that this non transitional immensely high density housing and part commercial 3 Story Assisted Living Facility is a totally inappropriate use of this property alongside our I acre homes. Rezoning, Density, Traffic, Intersection, Inappropriate use, Non transitional, requested variances and many other issues aside for the moment. The simple fact and reality is that this proposal goes completely against the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Non Sewer Requirements that were recommended, accepted and implemented for this property - and this after nearly 2 years of excessive volunteer hours, effort and commitment. I For one would like to see what was agreed upon in terms of the Land Use Plan being enforced. Whilst I understand that this application is likely to be deferred until late January I would ask that our opposition be read into and included in the Planning Commission Minutes this evening of December 19th.

A. Whether or not the proposal will permit a use that is suitable in view of the use and development of adjacent and nearby Property? The proposed 95 unit, 2 story assisted living facility is inconsistent with the existing single family residential development to the north, west and northwest of the subject site. Staff notes that to the south and southwest are Cambridge High School and Kings Ridge Christian School respectively, which are more intensive uses than the proposed 16 lot single family residences. It is Staff’s opinion based on the current 2030 Future Land Use Plan Map that the proposed use is unsuitable with adjacent uses to the north, west, and northwest of the subject site. B. 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 may adversely affect existing use or usability of the adjacent properties as described above. The proposed development does not provide a transition between the existing densities and uses to the north, west and northwest, but may provide transition to the uses to the south and southwest. C. Whether the property to be affected by the proposal has a reasonable economic use as currently zoned? The subject site may have a reasonable use currently zoned AG-1 (Agricultural). D. 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? The applicant will be required to provide the transportation improvements listed in the recommended conditions. These improvements will help ameliorate the increased amount of traffic created by the proposed development. E. Whether the proposal is in conformity with the policies and intent of the land use plan? 2030 Future Land Use Map: Agricultural, Equestrian, Estate Residential (AEE) Prepared by the Community Development Department for the City of Milton Mayor and City Council Meeting on March 18, 2013 3/7/2013 Page 10 of 17 RZ13-01/VC13-01 Proposed use/density: Assisted Living Facility / 17,957 square feet per acre The 2030 Future Land Use Map suggests AEE for the subject site and the properties to the east and to the north which is inconsistent with the proposed development. Staff notes that the 2030 Land Use Plan suggested that this area be more thoroughly evaluated in the future. Currently, Staff has initiated the Hwy 9 North Study to evaluate areas not included in the recently adopted Deerfield/Hwy 9 LCI Plan. The subject site is located within the study boundary of the Hwy 9 North Study. F. 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 development is inconsistent with adjacent and nearby zonings to the north and east and is inconsistent with the Future Land Use Plan which shows the subject site should be AEE. Since the adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, Cambridge High School has been built on property that was zoned for single family residential. In addition, the subject site lies just outside of the “Priority Master Planning Area” of Hwy 9. In the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, it states the following: “Though the area is subject to a zoning overlay district that includes aesthetic controls and design review requirements, the community has expressed the desire to develop a full Master Plan and Market Study for the area similar to those for Crabapple Crossroads and Birmingham Crossroads. The Master Plan should ensure that the area remains economically viable, avoids unattractive strip development and recruits businesses and services that will benefit the city of Milton while being sensitive to the many residents that live in the area….During the Master Planning process, the area will be thoroughly studied to determine the appropriate land uses and suggest any amendments to the comprehensive future land use map in this document.” The subject site has been included in the Hwy 9 North Study, which is currently underway to further determine the appropriate use. Based on the fact that the current Future Land Use Plan recommends AEE, it is grounds to recommend disapproval for the proposed 95 unit assisted living facility. G. 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 Prepared by the Community Development Department for the City of Milton Mayor and City Council Meeting on March 18, 2013 3/7/2013 Page 11 of 17 RZ13-01/VC13-01 development regulations as it pertains to stormwater facilities, tree recompense and landscape requirements. SITE PLAN ANALYSIS Based on the applicant’s revised site plan submitted to the Community Development Department on February 11, 2013, Staff offers the following considerations: Standard Proposed Standard Consistent or Inconsistent Height – 30 feet from average grade to the roof eave (SR 9 Overlay) 30 feet from average grade to the roof eave Consistent Min. Front Yard along Cogburn Roads – 40 feet 40 feet Consistent Min. Side Yard adjacent to street along Bethany Bend – 40 feet 40 feet Consistent Min. Side Yard interior along east property line – 20 feet 20 feet Consistent Min.

(Section 64-1091 (b)) (SR 9 Overlay District) Meets the requirement along the north property line, but not along the east property line. Inconsistent - Applicant requests a concurrent variance, VC13-01 to delete along the east property line. 20 foot landscape strip along road frontages (SR 9 Overlay District) 20 feet Consistent Based on Staff’s recommendation of denial of proposed assisted living facility, Staff recommends DENIAL of VC13-01. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the City of Milton Mayor and City Council Meeting on March 18, 2013 3/7/2013 Page 12 of 17 RZ13-01/VC13-01 PARKING REQUIREMENTS The following chart illustrates the parking required by the City of Milton Zoning Ordinance for the proposed use (Sec. 64-1410): Proposed Use Minimum Requirement Spaces Provided Assisted Living Facility - 95 Units / 35 employees 1 space per four beds, plus one per three employees 24 spaces plus 12 spaces Total 36 spaces required 62 Spaces Staff notes that the applicant is providing 62 parking spaces, which exceeds the required 36 parking spaces required. It also appears that the site plan is in compliance with the landscape and layout requirements of the SR 9 Overlay District. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT On January 30, 2013 the applicant was present at the Community Zoning Information Meeting held at the Milton City Hall. There were approximately thirty people in attendance from the community. Common concerns of the proposed development dealt with issues associated with traffic, inconsistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, and intensity of the use. Public Comments – Staff has received emails which are included at the end of this report. City of Milton Design Review Board Meeting – February 5, 2013 The following comments were made by the DRB: Traffic impact from a design standpoint. This will be a non peak hour operation.

Light pollution. Hope they can use more ambient type lighting.

The proposal is in direct conflict with my understanding of the general approach to developing Milton as a low density community. Specifically we have two large schools in that area which have not yet reached full enrollment with the Christian Academy constructing their high school and traffic is already a burden. An assisted living facility will generate both visitor and commercial traffic compounded by a proposed exit on Cogburn very close to a lighted intersection. A setback reduction to twenty feet, building separation of five feet (fire control risk) and a proposed three story facility fly in the face of a community concept which I thought focused on quality of life. We already have two senior facilities under construction in the general area and the Alpharetta/Milton area is awash in vacant/repossessed townhornes. I hope developer profit will not triumph over a professional Milton development plan. Roger Kubler 404-394-7510 December 17, 2012 Memo to: Planning Commission, Mayor and Council This correspondence relates RZ12-17/U12-08/ Bethany Bend and Cogburn Road. My husband and I are citizens of the city of Milton and reside at 2500 Bethany Church Road on a ten acre parcel where we have a horse farm. When we purchased our parcel, we carefully investigated the definition of AG -1 and deemed it our responsibility to understand what the land could be sold as in the future. We purchased our parcel with the knowledge that our ground could only be sold as a farm or one home per acre as described in the AG -1 zoning description. This due diligence is part of any land acquisition and befalls the purchaser. The parcel of land identified in this rezoning notice is identified in the City of Milton Comprehensive Land Use Plan as AG -1. For this reason, I request that our city leadership adhere to this plan as you refer to the Land Use Plan. Many of you tirelessly gave your time, 18 months worth to develop this land map as to how we should develop our unique city. This is now the time to put into action the process for which we all have planned for. Additionally, this parcel does not fall under our sewerable land parcels. Our Sewer map was another painstaking process that warrants your compliance when considering this rezoning. Finally, we have had the opportunity to visit many of the communities in the Northeast and in the heart of horse country, for example Tryon, N.C. These communities strictly adhere to their policies for land development and it shows. They have become unique communities that attract the most desirable residents and business ventures. Milton can be the same way, we just need to adhere to the carefully thought out plans that we have all worked so hard to put into place. I respectfully request that you hold firm on our Land Use and Sewer plans and deny this rezoning. There 15 a desire for one acre lots for homes located across from premier high schools in North Fulton. This is evidenced by the Six Hills neighborhood across from Milton High School.

This request to allow a high density, 2 -story, 95 -unit Assisted Living and 17 townhome development on that parcel of land does is just plain irresponsible in my opinion. Not only does it go against the sewer requirements and the 2030 CLUP that was adopted in 2011, but it shows zero planning for the future. That corner has a brand new H.S. that is no where near capacity and another HS currently under construction (KRCS). This has been designated as a "transitional" area within the Highway 9 corridor and nothing about putting a high density housing development there is "transitional". This specific area already cannot handle the traffic flow (highway 9 & Bethany Bend) and there is nothing we can do about it because Highway 9 is a state road. Why in the world would you ever consider high density for the proposed lot when traffic flow in this im mediate area is already an issue and it is only going to get worse as the schools grow? Please, think about this and what it will do to the area. We are trying to avoid future grid lock, not add to it. This is not what the residents want and goes against all plans for the proposed area. There is a reason the CLUP did not designate that for high density and please hold firm to that original agreement.

acre tract of agriculturally zoned land, located on the south side of Hopewell Road. The subject site is developed with an existing single family residence, one large barn that appears to be storage for equipment and a barn that is used as a dog house. In addition, there are five existing enclosures of varying size. The applicant proposes to construct 20 enclosures, a small public bathroom, and nine parking spaces to operate the proposed preserve. BACKGROUND: The applicant has owned the subject property since approximately 1999. Since that time, Mr. Riopelle has been buying, selling, and breeding various types of exotic animals. Attached at the end of this report are copies of current licenses from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (Georgia DNR) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). In the summer of 2012, the applicant came to the City inquiring about the possibility of exhibiting his animals to select groups and organizations. It was determined that “exotic” or “wild” animals were not permitted within the AG-1 (Agricultural) district. In addition, the City Attorney recommended the following text amendments be considered that would allow both the possession and the exhibition of exotic animals; 1)new use permit, 2) provide a definition of exotic/wild animals, and 3) amend the AG-1 (Agricultural) district to allow exotic/wild animals within the AG-1 (Agricultural) district. All three of these text amendments were approved by the Mayor and City Council on October 15, 2012. After the approval of these amendments, the applicant subm itted his application for a Use Permit for Exotic Animals (Sec. 64-1838) on November 6, 2012. The original application included a two-part concurrent variance not to plant to “buffer standards” along the east property line and to allow parking between the right-of-way and the primary structure. Since the initial application, the site plan has been revised to meet these development standards and therefore, the applicant is requesting the withdrawal of VC12-07, Parts 1 and 2. SITE PLAN ANALYSIS Based on the applicant’s revised site plan submitted to the Community Development Department on , 2013, revised letter of intent submitted on January 8, and an inventory of the applicant’s proposed exotic animals, Staff offers the following considerations: Prepared by the Community Development Department for the City of Milton Mayor and City Council Meeting on March 18, 2013 *Based on a revised letter of intent submitted on January 8, 2013, VC12-07, Parts 1&2 have been requested to withdraw based on a revised Site Plan submitted January 4, 2013. 3/12/2013 U12-01/VC12-07 Page 19 of 33 Use Permit Standards Section 64-1838 – Exotic or Wild Animals Pursuant to this section, exhibition or display of exotic or wild animals solely for education purposes, or keeping, rehabilitation or maintaining exotic or wild animals pursuant to a valid, current, state-issued wild animal license or wildlife exhibition permit shall be allowed only with a use permit issued in compliance with the development standards set forth in this section specifically and pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance generally.

Compliance with all requirements of Chapter 5 of the Georgia Game and Fish Code, O.C.G.A. § 27-5-1, et seq., related to wild animals, and all rules and regulations adopted pursuant to the authority granted pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 27-1-4. The Community Development Department will rely on the appropriate enforcement agencies to ensure compliance with said requirements. Current valid licenses from the USDA and Georgia DNR are provided at the end of this report. **The applicant has indicated in the revised letter of intent dated January 11, 2013, the following as it relates to the type and number of animals proposed for the site: “Applicant specifically excludes from this Application the categories of Exotic Animals listed in Article VI, Division 2 of the City of Milton Zoning Ordinance, Section 64-1, and being categories 2 (lions, tigers, bobcats, lynx, cougars, leopards, jaguars), 4 (all bears), 5 (all venomous snakes, all constricting snakes, 6 (alligators, crocodiles), 7 (elephants), 9 (hippopotamuses, giraffes, but not excluding camels, and 12 (rhinoceroses, tapirs).

Northwest Fulton Overlay District LANDSCAPE STRIPS AND BUFFERS Sec 64-1141(1) (b.) requires a 10 foot landscape strip along all public streets. The site plan indicates compliance with this requirement. The Design Review Board requested that evergreen material be utilized along Hopewell Road. This request will be coordinated with the City Arborist and a condition will be included at the end of the staff report. VC12-07 – Part 1 - Not to plant to buffer standards for a width of 75 feet along the east property (Sec. 64-1141(3)(b)). Section 64-1141 (3) (b.) of the Northwest Fulton Overlay District requires a 75 foot undisturbed buffer, with a 10 foot improvement setback, located adjacent to all AG-1 (Agricultural) zoning districts and all property zoned, used, or developed for residential uses. The applicant has amended the letter of intent and the revised site plan submitted on January 4, 2013, indicates compliance with this requirement. Therefore, Staff recommends VC12-07, Part 1 be WITHDRAWN. VC12-07 – Part 2 - To allow parking between the building and the right-of-way (Sec 64-1145(6)(c)). Sec 64-1145 (6) (c) requires that no on-site parking shall be located to the front of a building and/or between a building and the public right-of-way. The site plan meets this requirement for parking location. The applicant has amended the letter of intent and the revised site plan submitted on January 4, 20 13, indicates compliance with this requirement. Therefore, Staff recommends VC12- 07, Part 2 be WITHDRAWN. Staff notes that there are enclosures around the cages that are constructed of chain link fencing that are not black vinyl clad. These must be changed to comply with Section 64-1142(8) which states “Chain link fencing, except as required along detention/retention ponds, is prohibited from public view. All chain link fences shall be black vinyl clad”. In addition, all future enclosures proposed for the site shall comply with this requirement. The site plan is in compliance with the remainder of the development standards for the Northwest Fulton Overlay District and the development standards for the Use Permit. Should a conflict between these standards exist, the development standards of the Use Permit shall prevail. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the City of Milton Mayor and City Council Meeting on March 18, 2013 *Based on a revised letter of intent submitted on January 8, 2013, VC12-07, Parts 1&2 have been requested to withdraw based on a revised Site Plan submitted January 4, 2013. 3/12/2013 U12-01/VC12-07 Page 22 of 33 OTHER SITE PLAN CONSIDERATIONS Within the subject site there is a US Soils Conservation Lake No.31 (Starnes Lake) and a portion of the site is within the 100 year floodplain limits. The site plan shows there are proposed cages/enclosures within the 100 year floodplain. These types of structures are allowed to be located within the floodplain. The site plan also indicates compliance with the required city and state water stream buffers and non-impervious setback along Chicken Creek and Starnes Lake. Section 64-1838(2)(c)requires the exotic animals to be a minimum of 100 feet from all property lines. Staff notes that the applicant also keeps various domesticated animals such as donkeys and dogs which are not required to be kept or graze outside of this 100 foot limit. Parking Requirements Within Section 64-1410, Off Street parking, there are no standards for the proposed use or similar uses to provide a requirement. The applicant has provided a total of nine parking spaces based on the maximum amount of cars and one bus anticipated for the site. The proposed parking area will be constructed of gravel. Staff notes that a minimum of one parking space shall be designated as handicapped which has been indicated on the revised site plan submitted on March 8, 2013. Periphery Fencing The site plan indicates a wood/woven wire fence around the entire property except where it adjoins Starnes Lake. Staff notes that pursuant to V12-08, the Board of Zoning Appeals approved a Primary Variance on July 17, 2012 to allow the height of a 5 board fence to increase to 72” adjacent to a public street. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT On November 28, 2012 the applicant was present at the Community Zoning Information Meeting held at the Milton City Hall. There were approximately 18 members of the community in attendance. Public Participation Plan and Report The applicant has met the requirements of the Public Participation Plan and Report.

The proposed site does not contain wetlands, steep slopes, or sensitive plant and animal species. The southern property line is bound by Chicken Creek which is a state water as well as Starnes Lake which is a U.S. Soils Conservation Lake. The site plan indicates compliance with the required city and state stream buffers and non-impervious setback. The proposed use will not impact any historical or archeological entities. City of Milton Fire Marshal No comments at this time. City Arborist Existing trees are to remain throughout the site. Undisturbed buffers shall be required to be planted to buffer standards where sparsely vegetated. Use Permit Considerations In the interest of the public health, safety and welfare, the Mayor and City Council may exercise limited discretion in evaluating the site proposed for a use that requires a Use Permit. In exercising such discretion pertaining to the subject use, the Mayor and City Council shall consider each of the following as outlined in Sec. 64-1552 of the Zoning Ordinance; Use Permit Considerations. Staff has reviewed said items pertaining to the subject use, and, offers the following comments: A. Whether the proposed use is consistent with the land use or economic development plans adopted by the Mayor and City Council: Prepared by the Community Development Department for the City of Milton Mayor and City Council Meeting on March 18, 2013 *Based on a revised letter of intent submitted on January 8, 2013, VC12-07, Parts 1&2 have been requested to withdraw based on a revised Site Plan submitted January 4, 2013. 3/12/2013 U12-01/VC12-07 Page 24 of 33 The proposed primate and exotic preserve is not consistent with the intent and following policies of the City of Milton 2030 Comprehensive Plan: We will encourage development that is sensitive to the overall setting of the community and will contribute to our community’s character and sense of place. We will consider potential impacts to air and water quality in making decisions on new developments and transportation improvements, and we will steer new development away from sensitive natural resource areas. The City of Milton 2030 Comprehensive Plan recommends that the subject site be developed as Agricultural, Equestrian, and Estate Residential (AEE). The subject site is located with the Central Milton Character and the Plan further states the following regarding this area, “New development should match the typical densities found within this area and should minimize undesirable impacts on surrounding rural/agricultural uses. Significant site features, such as view sheds and environmentally sensitive areas, should be enlisted as amenities that shape identity and character of new development within this character area.” Therefore, it is Staff’s opinion that expansion of the existing use will negatively impact the existing development pattern within Central Milton. B. Compatibility with land uses and zoning districts in the vicinity of the property for which the use permit is proposed; The additional generated traffic into the property, noise, and inconsistency with surrounding properties may have a negative impact. The proposed primate and exotic animal preserve is not compatible with land uses adjacent and nearby the subject property area which are primarily estate residential and scattered agricultural uses. If developed in accordance with Staff’s Recommended Conditions and the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, Staff recommends only the raising, breeding, importing, and selling of requested exotic animals utilizing the existing infrastructure on the site and not the proposed primate and exotic animal preserve which includes the building of 20 additional animal enclosures. C. Whether the proposed use may violate local, state and/or federal statutes, ordinances or regulations governing land development; Prepared by the Community Development Department for the City of Milton Mayor and City Council Meeting on March 18, 2013 *Based on a revised letter of intent submitted on January 8, 2013, VC12-07, Parts 1&2 have been requested to withdraw based on a revised Site Plan submitted January 4, 2013. 3/12/2013 U12-01/VC12-07 Page 25 of 33 The proposed use may not violate any known local, state and/or federal statutes, ordinances or regulations governing land development if approved with the recommended conditions. In addition to land development regulations, the City is dependent upon state and federal agencies to ensure compliance with their regulations as described in the proposed Use Permit Standards for Exotic Animals (Section 64-1838). At the end of this report is a letter from the GA DNR stating that the applicant is in compliance with their current license as of January 7, 2013. D. The effect of the proposed use on traffic flow, vehicular and pedestrian, along adjoining streets; The proposed use should not create congestion along Hopewell Road if approved with the Recommended Conditions. The required site distance for the site exceeds the minimum required which is 550 feet looking to the east and 800 feet looking to the west. The Public Works Department has included a condition, that if traffic on existing driveway exceeds 29 daily trips, driveway shall be modified to meet standards in the City of Milton Code of Ordinances. The Milton Trail Plan is not located on either side of Hopewell Road. E. The location and number of off-street parking spaces; As indicated in the Site Plan Analysis, there is no specific requirement for this or similar use in the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant has estimated the maximum number of cars and/or buses that may be on the property at one time. The site plan indicates a total of nine parking spaces which are located on the site per the Northwest Fulton Overlay District. In addition, the proposed parking will be gravel with exception of the required handicapped parking space which has been identified on the revised site plan submitted on March 8, 2013. F. The amount and location of open space; The applicant’s site plan indicates that almost the entire subject site remains undeveloped. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed development will provide adequate open space for the proposed development. G. Protective screening; If developed in accordance with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, the existing wooded areas and sparsely vegetated areas planted to buffer standards may provide adequate screening to the adjacent AG-1 (Agricultural) zoned properties if approved for the existing use on the property and not for the proposed primate and exotic animal preserve with the additional animal enclosures. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the City of Milton Mayor and City Council Meeting on March 18, 2013 *Based on a revised letter of intent submitted on January 8, 2013, VC12-07, Parts 1&2 have been requested to withdraw based on a revised Site Plan submitted January 4, 2013. 3/12/2013 U12-01/VC12-07 Page 26 of 33 H. Hours and manner of operation; The applicant has not stated the hours of operation for the animal preserve, but the Use Permit standards only allow operations between the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. I. Outdoor lighting; The applicant has indicated to the Design Review Board that there will be no on-premise lighting on the site. A condition will be included that will reflect there shall be no on-premise lighting. J. Ingress and egress to the property. The applicant’s site plan indicates one curb cut on Hopewell Road and the sight distance is acceptable in either direction on Hopewell Road. The driveway will be required to be improved to provide for two-way traffic. CONCLUSION The proposed primate and exotic animal preserve is inconsistent with Plan Policies, Plan Recommendations and some Use Permit Considerations and incompatible with the surrounding area. Therefore, Staff recommends that the subject site be developed with the existing condition of five animal enclosures and other associated structures currently utilized on the site to house the current licensed inventory of animals by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, amended 12/2/12. If the site is developed in accordance with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and Staff’s Recommended Conditions, Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of U12-01 for the existing conditions of the subject site. In addition Staff recommends WITHDRAWAL of VC12-07, Parts 1 and 2. Alternate Conditions are also provided at the end of this report if the Mayor and City Council so choose to approve the Use Permit as requested by the applicant.

To the members of the Planning Commission: I am writing today to voice my opposition to U 12-01/VC12- U7, a request for a use permit at 14325 Hopewell Road. There are many reasons why having an unaccredited backyard zoo at this location is a bad idea, among them issues dealing with incompatibility with the city of Milton's Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP), noise, zoonotic diseases, environmental impact (most particularly water quality), increased traffic, the dangers of private ownership of wild animals, and widespread community opposition. But I understand you, as members of the Planning Commission, are primarily concerned with the issue of appropriate land use, so I will confine myself to that area. I believe the use requested is incompatible with the CLUP for the following reasons. The property in question is located in what the CLUP calls "Central Milton." To quote from the CLUP itself (underlined words - emphasis mine): "(Central Milton) has retained much of the rural characteristics of the City of Milton. Along with the many subdivisions within this area, it is also characterized by several horse farms, pastures, woodlands, and several large properties. In addition, many of the roads provide scenic and linear green space corridors such as Birmingham Highway, Freemanville Road, Thompson Road and Hopewell Road. Most of these scenic corridors include rural home sites, horse farms, wetland crossings and access to country clubs, equestrian facilities and more open space. The visual aesthetics of this Character Area should be maintained even as residential development continues" (page 33). Having a commercial business of any kind (in this case an unaccredited backyard zoo) is inconsistent with the current (and very desirable) rural, equestrian character of the Central Milton Character Area. In addition, the CLUP defines rural viewsheds as "the characteristic pastoral views that can be seen along the roads as one travels through Milton. Rural viewsheds contribute to the rural character and sense of place of the city of Milton. The bucolic scenic qualities of many of Milton's roads are considered to be character defining features within several of the larger character areas, and concerns have been expressed about maintaining and preserving these viewsheds and cherished characteristic of Milton. The Future Development Map identifies the roads that should be considered for protection as rural viewsheds." (page 20) The area where this property is located as welt as the adjacent community is one of these areas identified on the city's Future Development Map as a rural viewshed area. If the use permit is approved, lighting, signage, public restrooms, and a parking lot will be added to the property. This will clearly not create the pastoral view Milton resides have come to enjoy and the CLUP recommends be protected. In addition, "Central Milton contains a significant network of creeks, streams, wetlands and floodplains among other environmentally sensitive areas." (page 34) The property in question sits in a 100 year floodplain. You wouldn't be allowed to put a home there, so does it make sense to locate animal cages there? In the event of a flood, the animals would perish and their waste would be distributed throughout the area. Also, Chicken Creek runs directly through the property, providing water to Starnes Lake as well as continuing further downstream. As suggested by the CLUP, this means that this property is of particular environmental concern. Environmental contamination from pet primates is of great concern. Poor hygiene and improper disposal of contaminated feces pose a serious problem. Many disease organisms can persist in the environment for long periods of time and may pose a serious threat to humans. Environmental contamination may be a danger to the communities where primates are kept As anyone who is lucky enough to live in or just drive through Milton knows, horse farms enhance the character of the city. An unaccredited backyard zoo will never enhance our city. Thank you for your time, Teresa Stickels 14300 Saddlevalley Lane Milton, GA 30004 m teeba ahoo.com P.S.

Milton City Hall 13000 Deerfield Parkway Suite 107 Milton, Ga. 30004 Re: ZONING VARIANCE REQUEST OF DEAN RIOPELLE 14325 Hopewell Rd. Milton, Ga. 30004 Dear Sirs: RECEIVED GES: 14 2M City of Wilton Community Development Unfortunately I was unable to attend the initial zoning meeting regarding Dean's request for a Primate and Exotic Animal Preserve at his home on Hopewell Road. Dean may have told you that I have done some of his inspections for his facilities. I have also treated numerous pets and several of his primates. Besides this, his house is approximately 100-150 feet from my back door and his property line and mine are contiguous. I must vehemently recommend that the variances requested be denied for the following reasons: 1. We have already had the misfortune of having one of his moneys (Capuchin) escape and ultimately be found in our basement where we had to do cleaning and straightening of papers, pictures and other items that had been rearranged. Apparently, the monkey had been lost for at least 24 and maybe 48 hours before my wife found it on a Saturday morning. 2. one of his Capuchin monkeys was treated by me for debilitation and weight loss and referred to the University of Georgia where they diagnosed a Yersina species bacterial infection. Yersinia Pestis is the organism that caused the black plaque during the Middle Ages. 3. Some neighbors across the lake in 5unnybrook Farms contacted us thinking we were housing animals that were creating enough noise that it was bothering there across the lake. In reality, it was the Ringtail Lemurs that on occasion would make whistling or howling noises that were loud enough to be heard across the lake. 4. Though I respect everyone's right to use their property as they see fit, I feel that to alter the existing codes that would allow no buffer instead of a 50 ft buffer would be an intrusion on the rights of my property. You will note we have a wooded buffer in existence currently and to maintain a 50 ft buffer is very reasonable. 5. The introduction of public parking and the traffic and noise it would create would only make matters worse. it is also a danger as you will note the entrance to their property is located in a curve on Hopewell Road where an increase in accidents would be very likely. 6. The hours of operation have not as yet been determined, but weekend hours would be an invasion of my privacy as my backyard already is contiguous with his fenced area for 5 or more donkeys. If people traffic is added to the existing animal noises, my quiet enjoyment of my property would no longer exist. It is because I respect their privacy and right to use of their property that I have no problem with hire keeping the animals as long as he has improved containment and security to prevent escape of potentially dangerous animals or increased risk of disease spread to lack of containment of the livestock.

As I sated, this is a very bad idea and I hope the council and mayor reject his request. Our family and neighbors are adamantly opposed to giving him a permit. There are many laws involved in such an endeavor but it certainly is a citizen's issue and many are opposed. There are numerous experts who can tell you what happens when "exotic preserve" become substandard. They are extremely burdensome for public safety officials, hard to shut down, pose a potential risk to humans, unfair to neighbors, and the welfare of the animals.... well just call Noah's Ark in Locust Grove which has become a repository for those animals. Ironically, in the article below it states that Mr. Riopelle must in be in strict compliance for exotic animals under the tightly controlled state and federal agencies, the Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Agriculture yet he is quoted saying "and the local children regularly play with the animals". Further evidence shows Councilman Kunz with a monkey straddling his face; a rear monkey's paw right over his eye. These two alone already VIOLATE the regulations under both of the departments aforementioned. There is quite of laws and issues surrounding this permit and I implore you to review all those including: public safety (first and foremost), nuisance, disease concerns, how money will be sought to run the "preserve", will they be solicited by donors should Mr. Riopelle claim he has "rescued" animals when his statements below and history support the plan for breeding and selling? There are so many problems with this. You mentioned a woman who started a petition. Kay I think ... would you mind sending her info? And what is the name of the attorney Mr. Riopelle has hired? Thanks Robyn for listening and passing on our sentiments about this. Warm Regards, Claudine Wilkins http://www.n 10-1 7-195518-114126-sub-Starting-a-inonkey- business.html I Starting a monkey business Resident hopes to open local zoo by Jonathan Copsey write the author October 17, 2012 MILTON, Ga. — Milton resident Dean Riopelle has .c collected animals for years. Unfortunately, they are not what one would call normal pets. In fact, they are exotic. A� 1 got my first primate 18 years ago;" Riopelle said. It was a ring-tailed lemur — those furry little guys with the long black and white tails. "But I worked so much, she became lonely. So I got her a boyfriend immediately." They had twins _ His furry friends began to grow from there. He estimates he has about 100 animals on his 21 -acre property in the middle of Milton. Everything from donkeys and wallabies to porcupines roam his land, but most of the animals are primates. Monkeys. Many of his monkeys are Capuchin. These little creatures with amazingly human faces grow to be about the size of a housecat, are very inquisitive and can reproduce every eight months. Riopelle has given them all Biblical names, such as Delilah and Jezebel. "Zoos wi11 pay $20,000 far a Capuchin monkey," Riopelle said. Most of the animals are in pens or cages, although some roam freely. The monkeys have large open cages with lots of places to hide in and climb on. Riopelle breeds and buys his animals. In fact, that's what he initially wanted to do with his animals. "My first focus was to be a breeder. Private, closed [to Milton resident Dean Riopelle has collected primates for more than 18 years, including these Capuchin rr onkeys, who hug and kiss him when he enters their habitat. He wants to create a primate zoo, opening his hairy friends up to the public. JONATHAN COPSEYIStaff.

(click for larger version) the public] and only rare animals for breeding," he said. "A couple things happened. Everybody and their mother started stopping by and asking for tours." The second thing stopping him was that federal regulators won't allow him to get an importation license unless he uses his animals for medical research, exhibition or if their offspring will be used for exhibition. Dean Riopelle has raised many of the animals himself. JONATHAN COPSEYIStaff. (click foriarger version) Riopelle said he would never use them for research. That leaves a zoo. He approached the city with his idea. Milton staffers were understandably taken aback by the request for a zoo_ "There's no way to address what he has," said Community Development Director Kathleen Field. "The issue is really how to allow these in the future as we go forward, but with safeguards in place to ensure the city and neighborhoods are protected." With the regulation of exotic animals already tightly controlled by state and federal agencies, such as the Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Agriculture, the city saw no need to impose strict rules on Riopelle or anyone else who may wish to get into the exotic animal business. instead, they looked at it from a zoning viewpoint. "[The federal agencies] are much more apt to enforce the acquisition and care of exotic animals, more than the city," said Councilman Matt Kunz, a friend of Riopelle. "If we are going to actually look at the animals, we need to look at the land use and not the care of the animals themselves. If we do that, we do so as not to cloud the legislation already there." Current city rules for agricultural land zoning — which covers farmland and suburban housing — only speak to domesticated animals, such as farm animals. "We attempted to widen that definition of allowed animals to include exotic and wild animals," Field said. "Then we had to define what we mean by that." Exotic animals would be allowed on a case-by-case basis, she said, and the owner would have to have property at least 10 acres in size, have certain fencing in place and heed to certain sound requirements, all of which deal with protecting the neighbors of any such facility. Riopelle said that for now, he has great neighbors and the Total children regularly play with the animals. "Across the street is a retired pilot and next door is a veterinarian," he said. 'They all love the monkeys. I'm blessed with great neighbors." The proposed new rules suit him just fine, Riopelle said. Anyone serious about keeping animals would have to have strict regulations anyway. By being proactive on the changes, Riopelle said it's worked well for him. "If down the line we don't have this law and an animal hurts a kid, we would ban all exotic animals," he said. "I think we're doing the right thing."

I would like to express my concerns regarding this zoo and reasons for the City of Milton to decline its approval. My first concern, as an adjacent property owner, is the noise! His monkeys are not only extremely loud but very disturbing in that it sounds like screaming. I did my research and found that ruffed lemurs (Riopelle told us at the 11-28 meeting that he has red ruffed lemurs) exhibit contagious calling, where one individual or group starts a loud call and others within the area join in. It can be heard up to .62 miles away. You can't imagine the noise made by his monkey's screaming - it has the potential to affect the peace of all his neighbors within a .62 mile radius? That includes neighborhoods of Greystone, Sunnybrook, Bethany Oaks, Potterstone, Crabapple Forest, and all the private farms and land owners in between. I've considered calling to complain about the noise many times but have opted not to in an effort to be a "good" neighbor. Secondly, I am concerned about the effect on property values. Buyers in the city of Milton look for peace and tranquility. They would certainly be turned off by a loud, noisy zoo. As a real estate agent, I would advise my potential buyers to avoid buying in neighborhoods next to loud, screaming monkeys. Adjacent property owners would also need to disclose their proximity to the zoo - not exactly a good selling feature. My 3rd concern is obviously for the well-being of these animals. I attended the public mtg on 11 -2 8 and Mr. Riopelle told us proudly that he had 100 monkeys earlier in the month but moved half of them to a friend's place in south Georgia for the winter. Realize that he only has 6 cages. That's 16+ animals per chain-link cage - to me that is verging on animal cruelty. This is not zoo Atlanta where every attempt is made to make the animal's captive environment as close to it's natural environment as possible. Mr_ Riopelle's current business model is simply to breed and sell. Will the City of Milton ensure that these animals are well cared for and set regulations as to the number of animals per cage? A petition has been started to stop the zoo. You can find it at the following link: http•Ilwww.2o-petition. com/petitions/stop-exotic-preserve-at-14325-hopewell-road-mi lton-ga.html Thank you for taking in to consideration my views on this issue.

I have included detailed information about this situation below for you to read and/or pass on. Hello, Milton Residents and Friends I wanted to update you on the City Council meeting held on Wednesday, December 28th . The purpose of the meeting was for the applicant (Dean Riopelle) to present the plans he has for his ?Exotic Animal Preserve? project and to answer questions. The site plan which was on display there is included in this file from the city: htt :l/www.cit ofmilton a.or czim/2012/11-28-2012-CZIM%20 acket. df It includes the other two items that were covered at that meeting, so the item we are interested in is contained in pages 8 - 11. The site plan itself is on page 10. Just a reminder - he currently has around 100 animals and 6 cages but hopes to have an additional 50 animals and an additional 20 cages before he opens. In addition, he plans to have a gravel parking lot and 2 restrooms with septic fields. Note that he has recently ?temporarily moved'? approximately half of his animals to a friend?s property for the winter. If you choose to visit his property, you will not be seeing the full menagerie. There was a good crowd of concerned neighbors in attendance, primarily from the Sunnybrook Farms subdivision and immediate surrounding properties. Mr. Riopelle appeared surprised that the neighbors were so opposed. He also seemed taken aback by the specific questions the neighbors had for him. He mentioned that he had "hundreds" of people stop by each year and ask for tours and say they loved the place. We kept pointing out that these were not his neighbors, but people from outside the immediate community. He also stressed that he was doing this for the community, but it was clear that his immediate community wasn't in support of it at all. Here are some of the items regarding this situation: ? Current animals on the property include: ring-tailed lemurs, red ruffed lemurs, white fronted brown lemurs, black handed spider monkeys, De Brazza's monkeys, Spot -nosed guenons, vervets, Cinnamon capuchins, black and white capuchins, Brazilian Tufted capuchins and Bolivian squirrel monkeys; 3 wallabies, 10 miniature donkeys, 2 Eurasian Eagle owls, and 4 dogs ? More animals/species are planned for his business. He is willing to have his variance specify which animals will NOT be included, but is not willing to have it specify which WILL be included. His reasoning is that he never knows when an unusual opportunity might arise. ? He has raised primates for almost 19 years, the last 14 years at this location- ? Besides himself, three other people care for these animals. Nobody on his premises is trained/will be trained to handle these animals. He does NOT plan to be affiliated/certified by any established zoological organization. ? His primary focus had been breeding for trade. He may pursue importation licensure. To satisfy regulatory requirements, he plans to open his grounds as a place to display his animals, and welcomes groups such as Boy Scouts, schools, etc. ? NO waste collection is performed. The cages each hold approximately 20 monkeys and are built over grass. The defecation merely falls to the ground until it degrades. ? Mr. Riopelle?s property runs along a creek, so residents voiced concern about runoff as well as contamination in the water table as many residents are using wells. Mr. Riopelle dismissed any concerns related to the issue of waste disposal or water contamination. Mr. Riopelle?s animals are under the care of a vet, but none have yearly blood work. We mentioned our concern about the potential spread of diseases, but he doesn't consider that to be a problem as he claims all of his are healthy. He does trade animals and acquire new animals with some frequency, so there is certainly the potential for introduction of illness. ? Monkeys have been known to transmit the Ebola virus, monkey pox and other deadly diseases. The American Veterinary Medical Association, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have all expressed opposition to the possession of certain exotic animals by individuals. ? We also expressed concerned about the security of the cages and were told they were all secure. We pointed out that there have been escapes (a wallaby, lemur and monkey), but again, he doesn't seem to think that is a likely occurrence. ? No traffic studies have been/are planned to determine volume and safety issues on that extremely winding part of Hopewell Rd. ? Surrounding neighbors have expressed that the noise level is unbearable from the screeching of monkeys and braying of donkeys. Mr. Riopelle points the finger at three specific monkeys. He has not performed any noise level studies or built any sound barriers and did not appear interested in doing so. ? The City of Milton approved Mr. Riopelle?s fence height change in July, 2012. Apparently public notice was made in the Milton Herald, but nobody at the meeting had been aware of this, or at least of the entire story underlying the need for the fencing. '? The City of Milton approved a text amendment for the ownership of exotic pets. It was a blanket approval for all residents of Milton. There are no limitations to the number or types of exotic pets (only for the number per confined cage). Milton is relying on State and Federal government levels for further control of the issue. ? Research is currently being performed by concerned neighbors to determine when Mr. Riopelle?s lousiness license was approved, how long he?s had permits for these animals compared to how long he?s owned them, and how much Fulton County has been involved prior to the creation of the City of Milton. Please contact me if you have questions or other concerns. I am diligently working alongside residents from Sunnybrook Farms.

Although I appreciate the enthusiasm and initiative exhibited by Mr. Dean, I do not feel this is the approriate location for such an endeavor. Concerns are: 1. Environmental: Disposal of waste Possible contamination of Chicken Creek Effect on downstream animals Effect on water wells in the area Possible diseases 2. Does the city have trained animal control officers to handle animals that escape or who become violent? Consquences of dealing with exotic animals are very serious!! From 1990 to 2011 in the U.S., 75 deaths were attributed to people coming into contact with exotic species - reported in Bangor Dailey News in Maine 11 / 29 / 12. Experiences of animal owners: chimpanzee's owner's face bitten off in Connecticut - the 200 lb. animal slept in the same bed as its owner. Ohio Zanesvill Zoo incident in 2011 when the owner of the private facility set the animals loose. The animals escaped from the Muskingum County Animal Farm in Zanesville after the owner threw their cages open and committed suicide, authorities said (56 animals were involved). 3. Do we want the financial and liability risks associated with such an endeavor for such a small community? 1 4. Traffic concerns - Hopewell Road curve and sight distance to entrance of property is limiting. 5. Noise is disturbing and loud - will be greater. 6. Since animals escape, there will always be a concern when you walk out the door. I would greatly appreciate encouraging Mr. Dean to consider other locations more isolated with greater land space for so many animals.

For 28 years we have taken much pride in our home and property. Our property is very close to Mr. Riopelle's. have many concerns about his plan to have a commercial exotic animal zoo. 1. The noise is deafening and has been for quite awhile. I am against him having exotic animals in such close proximity to residential neighborhoods let alone adding to what is existing now. 2. Hopewell Road is a very narrow, curvy road that carries too much traffic now. There have been no improvements to the road for years --it is beyond traffic capacity and adding commercial traffic to it would be criminal. Adding additional school buses on field trips to the property is an accident waiting to happen. 3. Mr. Riopelle's property is on the lake. Chicken Creek runs through there. Many homes in the area have wells. The waste from all of these animals and the addition of public restrooms on the property cannot be good for this kind of environment. To say nothing of the disease that is possible from the animals. 4. We have grandchildren that visit plus friends that have children. It no longer seems that we live in a safe area. I am fearful for our guests as well as myself. I am afraid to go to the road to pick up my paper in the dark. 5. Declining property values. In closing I urge you not to let this proceed. The quality of life of many residents of Milton is at stake. Thank -you.

To: The Honorable Mayor Joe Lockwood and Milton City Council Members My name is Judson Marvin and I am writing you regarding the proposal by Mr. Dean Riopelle to put a zoo on his 14325 Hopewell Road property. My property is at 14260 Saddlevalley Lane in the Sunnybrook Farms subdivision. I have 8 acres on Lake Starnes. My property is 200 feet east of Mr. Riopelle's property. My family and I have lived in this home for 28 years and in this area for 36 years. We have enjoyed our local friends, and especially the peace, tranquility, and privacy of the neighborhood ------that is until Mr. Riopelle moved in with his cadre of monkeys and other exotic wild animals. According to Mr. Riopelle, he has over 50 such wild animals and if all goes as planned he will triple that number. First of all, let me say I can only speak for myself, but I feel there are many who feel the way I do in regard to what has taken place on the Riopelle property. There has been a buzz among my neighbors for several years about the horrible screeching noise coming from Mr. Riopelle's property. The noise is piercing and constant. It, apparently, is coming from his caged monkeys. Have you ever heard a single monkey scream? If you wish, you can hear a monkey scream on the internet. Multiply that by fifty and you understand the enormity of the noise coming from Mr. Riopelle's property. While working or playing in the yard, the noise is unnerving. It scares my grandchildren. It is difficult to entertain our friends without the embarrassing question of, "What is that noise?". The issue of noise isn't the only problem. If the Milton City Council approves Mr. Riopelle's plan there is a potential for numerous and dangerous consequences to my neighbors and the City of Milton. With the advent of a proposed zoo, or as Mr. Riopelle calls it, "a Primate and Exotic Animal Preserve" , consider this: 1) Mr. Riopelle is importing monkeys from tropical and subtropical regions of the globe. Almost every major known disease to man has been traced to monkeys and other exotic wild animals. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) states this. "Monkeys and other nonhuman primates (NHP) may not be imported as pets under any circumstances. Importation for permitted purposes is strictly controlled through a registration process. These regulations are in place to protect U.S. citizens from severe infections that can spread from monkeys to humans. These diseases include --Ebola Reston, B virus (Cercopithecine herpesvirus 1), Monkeypox, Yellow fever, Simian immunodeficiency virus, tuberculosis, and other diseases not yet known or identified." Even though strict regulations are in place, I refer you to the Ebola scare at Hazleton Laboratories in Reston, VA. While experimenting with monkeys imported from the Philippines they discovered the monkeys had been infected with a new mutated strain of the Ebola virus. It has been named the Ebolareston virus. This Ebola mutation reminds me of what the CDC states as, "other disease not yet known or identified". 2) Also consider that many homes in this area use well water, and that many homes adjoin the ponds and lakes that are fed by Chicken Creek. Chicken Creek runs through Mr. Riopelle's property in the flood plain where he proposes to put an additional 20 cages to house his monkeys. According to Mr. Riopelle, the ground below the cages is not cleaned. The monkey urine and feces is left to decay naturally. With heavy rains and flooding, the runoff into Chicken Creek could be catastrophic. The safety of not only local residents, but those down stream, for miles, could be at risk. By approving this proposal, you would impose a hugh safety risk to our families and neighbors -----your constituents. 3) Another consideration is the danger to traffic along Hopewell Road. Mr. Riopelle proposes his "Primate Preserve" as a, for profit, breeding business and zoo in hopes of attracting bus loads of school children and other citizens to enjoy his wild exotic animals. The Riopelle property is on a dangerous blind curve, on an already hazardous and overtaxed, narrow Hopewell Road. I hesitate to think what could happen to a bus load of school children trying to make a turn onto Hopewell, out of the Riopelle property, into a blind curve. Buses would be exposed, broadside, to the speeding traffic on Hopewell. 4) Containment of the wild exotic animals is also a consideration. Mr_ Riopelle claims the monkeys are secure in cages he has provided on his property, but one monkey, that we know of, has already escaped, entering my neighbors home and ransacking their finished basement. Mr. Riopelle made no apology or offer to help with cleanup and repairs. His proposal to at least triple the number animals on his property makes containment an even greater threat. Even Zoo Atlanta, with it's superior facility to Mr. Riopelle's, has sometimes had containment issues. There are so many other issues to take into consideration, such as the impact this proposal will have on the adjacent property values, the legal liability and possible cost to this small City of Milton. At a time when most municipalities across the U.S are trying to contain the private ownership of exotic wild animals, Milton seems to be going the opposite direction, defining and enabling ownership. I could go on and on, but I realize your time is valuable. However, this is important to us, to our neighbors, and the city we love. This proposal, simply put, is a very bad idea. 1 firmly believe in a persons right to pursue their ambitions, but when the purpose of that ambition is to line ones own pocket to the detriment and safety of his neighbors, that is wrong. I personally wish Mr. Riopelle well, but I would like him to take his ambitions and his monkeys to a remote area that is large enough so as not to adversely impact his neighbors. Therefore, I implore each of you to vote NO to this proposal when it comes before you. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and listening to my fears of what impact this proposal could have on our lives.

We were recently informed that Mr. Dean Riopelle is requesting zoning variances to allow him to operate what is effectively a breeding ground for the trafficking of exotic animals. We understand that currently there are approximately 100 animals on the property which include: ring-tailed lemurs, red ruffed lemurs, white fronted brown lemurs, black handed spider monkeys, De Brazza's monkeys, Spot -nosed guenons, vervets, Cinnamon capuchins, black and white capuchins, Brazilian Tufted capuchins and Bolivian squirrel monkeys; 3 wallabies, 10 miniature donkeys, 2 Eurasian Eagle owls, and 4 dogs. A meeting held on Wednesday, November 28, 2012 between Mr. Riopelle, his business associates and concerned Milton residents revealed the following information: • More animals/species are planned for his business. He is willing to have his variance specify which animals will NOT be included, but is NOT willing to have it specify which WILL be included. His reasoning is that he never knows when an unusual opportunity might arise. ■ He has raised primates for almost 19 years, the last 14 years at this location. • Besides himself, three other people care for these animals. Nobody on his premises is trained/will be trained to handle these animals. He does NOT plan to be affiliated/certified by any established zoological organization. • His primary focus had been breeding for trade. He may pursue importation licensure. To satisfy regulatory requirements, he plans to open his grounds as a place to display his animals, and welcomes groups such as Boy Scouts, schools, etc. • NO waste collection is performed. The cages each hold approximately 20 monkeys and are built over grass. The defecation merely falls to the ground until it degrades. • Mr. Riopelle's property runs along a creek, so residents voiced concern about runoff as well as contamination in the water table as many residents are using wells. Mr. Riopelle dismissed any concerns related to the issue of waste disposal or water contamination. • Mr. Riopelle's animals are under the care of a vet, but none have yearly blood work. We mentioned our concern about the potential spread of diseases, but he doesn't consider that to be a problem as he claims all of his are healthy. He does trade animals and acquire new animals with some frequency, so there is certainly the potential for introduction of illness. Monkeys have been known to transmit the Ebola virus, monkey pox and other deadly diseases. The American Veterinary Medical Association, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have all expressed opposition to the possession of certain exotic animals by individuals. We also expressed concerned about the security of the cages and were told they were all secure. We pointed out that there have been escapes (a wallaby, lemur and monkey), but again, he doesn't seem to think that is a likely occurrence. No traffic studies have been/are planned to determine volume and safety issues on that extremely winding part of Hopewell Rd. Surrounding neighbors have expressed that the noise level is unbearable from the screeching of monkeys and braying of donkeys. Mr. Riopelle points the finger at three specific monkeys. Neighbors indicate the noise is created by many more animals, including the braying of donkeys. He has not performed any noise level studies or built any sound barriers and did not appear interested in doing so. We fail to understand why such business should be permitted within the City of Milton and nestled between several densely populated subdivisions. Besides the potential nuisance associated with the cries of exotic animals who are outside of their natural habitats, we are gravely concerned about the endangerment to our families presented by both animal escapes and the potential transmission of infectious diseases. We also fail to understand how the City of Milton could be so lax as to not create specifications relating to type and quantity of exotic animals allowed per Milton resident. This is irresponsible and could result in litigious activity should anything go awry. There are many far more suitable locations which are far less populated within a 15 mile radius of Milton where such an operation can be maintained without the safety risks to families — such as on a remotely situated farm. In light of the forgoing, we respectfully urge you to deny the pending requests for variances, and recommend to Mr. Riopelle that he relocate his exotic breeding facility to a location which is much better suited than in the middle of a suburb of a major metropolitan area. Thank you for your time and consideration of our request. Sincerely, John K. and Amy L.

I am absolutely positive the Mayor and Council are very interested in making the very Best decisions for their (and our) community — and this will be no exception. There were actually three modifications. RZ12-10 created definitions for exotic animals. RZ12-09 allowed for exotic animals in the AG -1 zoning district. And, RZ12-13 created the use permit process for exotic animals and/or related uses. These were ultimately voted on in succession during the Council Meeting of October 15, 20312 (ail of the documents are assembled on our web site including the web stream of that meeting (link to themeeting) where the discussion starts around minute 30:45). The request is to open his grounds to the public — at certain times. As with any zoning/use permit application, there will be a recommendation from the City traffic engineer as well as the City arborist. Staff will also assemble the application to make sure it is complete and facilitate it moving through the public process where ultimately the Mayor and Council will make a decision.

I guess I just missed the zoning process which I usually try to stay on top of in my area. 1 need further clarification of the probability of this happening. Please clarify what the modification allows? .rust his owning and keeping these animals on his land or the ability to open his grounds to the public? fle has owned them for 18 years before asking for this modification so why did he ask for that after all this time unless it was leading to allowing him to open a business? The georgia state law only allows exotic ownership if you open your facility to the public. They rely on city municipalities for their interpretation. This is my concern. He wants to bring unwanted traffic to the area and quadruple the number of animals he already has. No amount of talking on his part is going to convince any of his neighbors that this idea is beneficial to anyone but himself. We are attending all the meetings listed in the letter I received from the city. I will attend his only to show that there are people against this idea. I would hope he would reconsider when he realizes his immediate neighbors are very disturbed by this idea but I am only holding out hope that city hall will hear us and listen to the whole community. Thanks for your help. It is nice to know we have friends at who care! Kay On Nov 27, 2012, at 3:56 PM, Chris Lagerbloom wrote: Kay, Good afternoon. It is good to hear from you again. Thank you for coping me (must be blind carbon copy) on this email. Your feedback is appreciated and welcomed. Please allow me to clarify a couple points. The text amendment recently considered by the Mayor and Council was modified to allow for exotic animals in the AG - 1 zoning district. That is not a change in the underlying zoning on this one parcel, simply a modification to the code to allow for an additional use. This change traveled through the entire zoning process which included several opportunities for public input. The request before the City at this point from Mr. Riopelle is to seek a use permit as he describes (the full use permit application will be available on our web site long in advance of the dates I will mention shortly). You received the letter from him because the City requires a public participation plan and part of that is for the applicant to host a meeting somewhere in the community (and in this case he elected to host it at his home). The Mayor and Council will ultimately decide if the use is appropriate, but in any event, I believe you find Mr. Riopelle open for further discussion and it would be good if you and any of your neighbors could attend. Additionally, there will be a less formal Community zoning Information Meeting (agenda click here_) at City Hall tomorrow night (November 28t) at 7:00 pm, the Design Review Board will hear the item on December 41" at 6:00 pm, the Planning Commission will hear the item on December 19th at 7:00 pm and the Council will see it during the two meetings in January where final action could be taken on January 23`d at 6:030 pm.

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with many of you during the T -Mobile petition to put a cell tower adjacent to our neighborhood several years ago. I appreciated then the help I received from the city in support of the community and I know I can count on your impartial judgement once again. Our quiet neighborhood is now being challenged yet again on the other side from a property owner that wants to place an exotic pet preserve on his 20 acre property. First, I would like to mention this same property owner has kept lemurs, capuchin primates, kangaroos illegally on the property from what I am to understand has been 18 years with no siting from the county of Fulton or City of Milton. I have lived at my current residence for over 4 years and have often heard the monkeys screeching. One of the capuchin monkeys escaped last year and was found in a neighbors basement. From what I have been told there was considerable damage to her home not to mention the trauma of finding a wild animal in your basement. The owner of this monkey provided no restitution to her property. I am trying my best to understand how our city would change the zoning to allow this man to legally keep exotic animals thereby legitimizing the breeding, selling, and caging of these animals. It seems in direct contrast to the recent movement of the city to establish the community as a wildlife habitat. These animals will not be kept according to their natural habitat and according to the Wildlife Federation it is not possible to replicate their natural habitat in a caged environment. I am saddened to think we as a city would be culpable in encouraging this inhuman treatment of these animals. Help me understand how this is in the best interest of our community? I am also trying to understand how this re -zoning happened without seeking input from the community. A small notice in the paper is not adequate to alert neighbors and the community of this change. I stopped to read a permit notice on this property pertaining to an increase in fence height not a change in zoning. This is the only notice I saw before reading in the paper that the re -zoning had been approved by the city council. As a community we should be considering the long term ramifications of this decision as well as the danger to the community when, and I say when instead of if because an escape has already occurred. I am sure the people of Zanesville, Ohio did not anticipate what happened there with. that "preserve". I received a letter from Dean Riopelle yesterday. In his letter he states "Current infrastructure consists of a single family home, a barn and 6 cages. Additional infrastructure needed will consist of approximately 20 more temporary structures used as cages, a gravel parking lot and 2 restrooms with septic fields. Eventually we plan to operate as a business". My question to you is how is he now able to go from a private owner to a business in a non-commercial area? Also, going from 6 cages to 20 is almost a 4 fold increase in animals and noise in a residential area. This should be unacceptable to our city. I know it is unacceptable to our immediate neighborhoods. How many of you would chose to live next door to a zoo or as he refers to it as a "preserve"? Odors, noises, possible spreading of diseases to your domestic animals to just list a few negatives but there are numerous. I would imagine none of you would be rushing to buy in our neighborhood so once again we are faced with decreased property values in an already depressed market. I have spoken with many of my immediate neighbors as well as surrounding neighborhoods. I have yet to find anyone who said they w=ould welcome this preserve. These "preserves" should never be in the middle of a residential area. There are too many cases to site of human endangerment that occurs through escapes, direct contact through "educational handling", transfer of disease through excrement disposal, communicable diseases to name a few. Monkeys have been known to transmit the Ebola virus, monkey pox and other deadly diseases. The American Veterinary Medical Association, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have all expressed opposition to the possession of certain exotic animals by individuals. Why would we want to promote the inhuman treatment of these animals through a "preserve"? This is to many of the neighbors involved no more than legitimizing this man's desire to exploit animals under the auspices of a "nature preserve". 1 have not even delved into the area of breeding and selling these animals that the exotic owner is currently doing on the internet. The long term affects to the community should be explored before a stamp of approval is given. The concerns and safety of the community should be weighed and opinions of experts in this field should be sought before a decision is granted. My neighbors and I will be diligently collecting information from experts as well as researching existing exotic preserves to compile information for the staff. I know you are all busy this time of year with family and preparing for the holidays. It is a time to be hopeful for the future and giving thanks for our blessings. I look forward to hearing from you concerning your insights about this impacting our community. I hope you will hear our concerned voices and we can work together for the good of our wonderful city that 1 am privileged to call home.

I am concerned about the proposed use of this property for several reasons and ask that the planning commission and city council reviewed all data and information from the environmental community and expert material before allowing more of these animals to be placed on this residential and agricultural area. I am concerned for the impact of the water quality of the Coosa Watershed, Chicken Creek, Little River, and Lake Allatoona, from open floor primate cages on flood plain. This property borders Chicken Creek and contains a more than 100 year old flood plain. I am concerned about the current condition of the property. The bacteria and E Coli possible from the runoff from the waste may seriously harm water quality. The development of the property may cause serious harm to water quality. The development of this property and its proposed use, set-backs and buffers should be re-examined, as the EPD apparently has no information on the water quality to substantiate or require anything other than the standard set-backs and buffers at this time. The lack of EPD data does not encourage the use or development of a property for this use. While the City Council approved an ordinance brought at the request of the property owner in 2012 allowing residents in Milton to own exotic animals, a zoo of this caliber is not keeping with the rural, agricultural and residential environment of Milton. There are risks for safety to children posed from exotic animals that agricultural animals do not pose. The waste from these animals is dangerous to water quality. The property appears to already to have cages and animals. Cages and animals are visible from Hopewell Road only feet from a public school bus stop, This property backs up to a residential subdivision. Another concern is that the ordinance should be re-examined by the City Council as it may open the city to legal challenges. As a concerned resident of Milton, I am asking that you review this application carefully to make the best decision for citizens and the environment. Safety of both citizens and the environment are a great concern. I appreciate your service to our community. You provide an invaluable service to our citizens. Thank you.

REVISED SITE PLAN SUBMITTED MARCH 8, 2013 (SHEET 2 OF 3) (ADDED TRASH RECEPTICLE AND HANDICAP PARKING SPACE) To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members From: Kathleen Field, Community Development Director Date: Submitted on February 25, 2013 for the March 18, 2013 Regular Meeting (March 4, 2013 First Presentation and March 11, 2013 for Council Work Session) Re: Consideration of the approval of: RZ12-18 – To amend Chapter 64, Article VI, Division 2, AG-1 (Agricultural District) as it pertains to fencing. RZ12-19- To amend Chapter 64, Article II, Division 8, as it pertains to fencing and walls. RZ13-02 – To amend Chapter 64, Article I, Sec 64-1, Definitions as it pertains to defining “Exterior Streets” Department Recommendation: The Community Development Department recommends approval of the above listed text amendments as discussed below. Executive Summary: The Mayor and City Council approved changes to the AG-1 (Agricultural) district regarding fencing at their March 19, 2012 meeting. These were in conjunction with amending regulations for barns in AG-1 (Agricultural) districts. Since that time, it has come to the attention of the Council that the new fencing requirements may not be appropriate for all properties in AG-1 (Agricultural). Staff was directed by Council to research how the Zoning Ordinance could be amended to allow other types of fences, other than equestrian type of fencing along roadways but still keep the overall feel of the equestrian/rural nature of the City. RZ12-18 – This text amendment only applies to properties zoned AG-1 (Agricultural). Within this text amendment, the goal was to allow other types of fencing (including opaque fencing) on the interior of platted subdivisions. But when those lots abut “exterior streets” such as Birmingham, Hopewell, and Freemanville Roads they will be required to provide the three or four board equestrian type fence. Staff has also contemplated that lots may want to have a “privacy” or non-equestrian fence along their rear or side property lines, in which case they would be required to plant a visual buffer so as the fence could not be seen from the public street throughout the year. RZ12-19 – This text amendment applies to all zoning districts within the City. Within this text amendment, the goal was to clean up the general requirements for fencing such as prohibiting the use of chain link fencing along right-of-ways, architectural treatment of poured concrete, and clarifying the maximum height of fences and walls. RZ13-02 – This text amendment was suggested after discussion at the December 19, 2012 Planning Commission Meeting. Items RZ12-18 and RZ12-19 needed to be deferred to allow RZ13-02 to be heard concurrently with the original text amendments. Subsequently, the Planning Commission recommended the following definition at its February 26, 2013 meeting. This text amendment defines the term exterior street within the definitions section of the ordinance. Staff proposes the following definition: “Exterior street means a street, either public or private that is not located within a subdivision or final plat.” Both subdivision and final plat are defined in the definitions section of the ordinance as well. Funding and Fiscal Impact: None anticipated. Alternatives: The Mayor and City Council may choose not approve these text amendments and the existing requirements will remain.

STATE OF GEORGIA ORDINANCE____ COUNTY OF FULTON RZ12-19 AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND ARTICLE II, DIVISION 8, AS IT PERTAINS TO FENCING AND WALLS OF THE CITY OF MILTON ZONING ORDINANCE (CHAPTER 64 OF THE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES) BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Milton, GA while in a regularly called council meeting on March 18, 2013 at 6:00 p.m. as follows: SECTION 1. That the amendment of Article II Division 8, as it pertains to fencing and walls of the City of Milton Zoning Ordinance is hereby adopted and approved; and is attached hereto as if fully set forth herein, and; SECTION 2. All ordinances, parts of ordinances, or regulations in conflict herewith are repealed. SECTION 3. That this Ordinance shall become effective upon its adoption. ORDAINED this the 18th day of March, 2013 __________________ Joe Lockwood, Mayor Attest: ___________________________ Sudie AM Gordon, City Clerk (Seal) To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members From: Kathleen Field, Community Development Director Date: Submitted on February 25, 2013 for the March 18, 2013 Regular Meeting (March 4, 2013 First Presentation and March 11, 2013 for Council Work Session) Re: Consideration of the approval of: RZ12-18 – To amend Chapter 64, Article VI, Division 2, AG-1 (Agricultural District) as it pertains to fencing. RZ12-19- To amend Chapter 64, Article II, Division 8, as it pertains to fencing and walls. RZ13-02 – To amend Chapter 64, Article I, Sec 64-1, Definitions as it pertains to defining “Exterior Streets” Department Recommendation: The Community Development Department recommends approval of the above listed text amendments as discussed below. Executive Summary: The Mayor and City Council approved changes to the AG-1 (Agricultural) district regarding fencing at their March 19, 2012 meeting. These were in conjunction with amending regulations for barns in AG-1 (Agricultural) districts. Since that time, it has come to the attention of the Council that the new fencing requirements may not be appropriate for all properties in AG-1 (Agricultural). Staff was directed by Council to research how the Zoning Ordinance could be amended to allow other types of fences, other than equestrian type of fencing along roadways but still keep the overall feel of the equestrian/rural nature of the City. RZ12-18 – This text amendment only applies to properties zoned AG-1 (Agricultural). Within this text amendment, the goal was to allow other types of fencing (including opaque fencing) on the interior of platted subdivisions. But when those lots abut “exterior streets” such as Birmingham, Hopewell, and Freemanville Roads they will be required to provide the three or four board equestrian type fence. Staff has also contemplated that lots may want to have a “privacy” or non-equestrian fence along their rear or side property lines, in which case they would be required to plant a visual buffer so as the fence could not be seen from the public street throughout the year. RZ12-19 – This text amendment applies to all zoning districts within the City. Within this text amendment, the goal was to clean up the general requirements for fencing such as prohibiting the use of chain link fencing along right-of-ways, architectural treatment of poured concrete, and clarifying the maximum height of fences and walls. RZ13-02 – This text amendment was suggested after discussion at the December 19, 2012 Planning Commission Meeting. Items RZ12-18 and RZ12-19 needed to be deferred to allow RZ13-02 to be heard concurrently with the original text amendments. Subsequently, the Planning Commission recommended the following definition at its February 26, 2013 meeting. This text amendment defines the term exterior street within the definitions section of the ordinance. Staff proposes the following definition: “Exterior street means a street, either public or private that is not located within a subdivision or final plat.” Both subdivision and final plat are defined in the definitions section of the ordinance as well. Funding and Fiscal Impact: None anticipated. Alternatives: The Mayor and City Council may choose not approve these text amendments and the existing requirements will remain.

Executive Summary: The Mayor and City Council approved the GA 400/Deerfield LCI Plan on April 23, 2012 which provided the City an updated future land use plan for the area that included all of Deerfield and areas along Highway 9 just north of Bethany Bend. Based on the positive response to the Form Based Code in Crabapple, it was decided to adopt a Form Based Code for the Deerfield/Hwy 9 area to assist in the implementation of the LCI Plan. As in the Crabapple FBC process, a stakeholder group was created as well as various public meetings to discuss the new code. Attached is the latest version of the code for your review. If the Deerfield/Hwy 9 FBC is approved, it is also necessary to delete the section of the SR 9 Overlay District that contains the Division 5A – Deerfield Plan since the new FBC will be the new Overlay District for that area. Funding and Fiscal Impact: None anticipated. Alternatives: The Mayor and City Council may choose not approve these text amendments and the existing requirements will remain.

The minimum Base Densities. (See Table 11 section a.) b. The permission to build Accessory Buildings. c. The Function and use requirements of Tables 9 and 10 except were a Warrant is indicated therein. 1.6 DENSITY CALCULATIONS 1.6.1 All areas of a site shall be considered cumulatively the Gross Site Area. 1.6.2 Density shall be expressed in building units per acre as specified for each Transect Zone by Table 11 section a. 1.6.3 The maximum Density of a site shall be calculated by multiplying the Transect Zone's Density identified in Table 11 section a by the Gross Site Area. Where a site includes multiple Transect Zones, each shall be calculated independently. The area of new Thoroughfares and Civic Spaces on the site shall be allocated to the closest Transect Zone(s) on the site. Where a Thoroughfare or Civic Space adjoins multiple Transect Zones, their area shall be proportionally allocated to the adjoining zones. 1.6.4 Where a site is subdivided into lots, a lot's Density may exceed the Density of the Transect Zone within which it lies, provided that the maximum Density of the Transect Zone for the site as whole as established in Section 1.6.3 is not exceeded. 1.6.5 Building units or fractions thereof shall be exchanged for Functions at the following rates as established in Table 9B: a. Residential: 1 dwelling unit for each building unit. b. Lodging: 2 guest rooms for each building unit. c. Office: 2,250 square feet for each building unit. d. Retail: 2,250 square feet for each building unit. e. Other: 2,250 square feet for each building unit. 1.6.6 Where the exchange of building units for Functions results in a fraction, the fraction shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of dwelling units, guest rooms, or square feet as established in Section 1.6.5. 1.6.7 Accessory Units do not count toward Density calculations. 1.6.8 Civic Buildings do not count towards Density calculations. 1.6.9 Senior housing units approved by use permit in accordance with Section 64-1834 do not count toward Density calculations. 1.6.10 RESERVED 1.6.11 The Base Density of a site may be increased by the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) up to the amount specified for each zone by Table 11 section a subject to the provisions of Section 1.7 DEERFIELD FORM-BASED CODE – V5 City of Milton March 12, 2013 5 1.7 TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS 1.7.1 Purpose: The TDR mechanism is intended to encourage the voluntary redirection of future growth from areas where Milton wants reduced development into areas designated for development. Landowners can voluntarily choose to have their properties considered as either Open Space TDR Sending Sites or Park/Greenway TDR Sending Sites. Open Space TDR Sending Sites remain under private ownership subject to a conservation easement permanently limiting future development. Park/Greenway TDR Sending Sites are transferred from private ownership to the City of Milton or otherwise secured for public access in a manner acceptable to the City. In return for voluntarily participating in the TDR program, private property owners receive Transferable Development Rights (TDRs) which can be transferred for use at designated TDR Receiving Sites. 1.7.2 TDR Sending Site Criteria a. Open Space TDR Sending Sites shall be parcels that are a minimum of 2 acres in size and zoned T2 within this district or 2 acres in size and located outside this district but within the subarea of parcels fronting Bethany Bend from Hopewell Road east to the Forsyth County Line, and parcels fronting Cogburn Road from Devonshire Farms Way south to Bethany Bend. With the exception of the parcels described in the preceding sentence, all other Open Space TDR Sending Sites shall be a minimum of 5 acres in size and zoned AG-1 outside this district. All Open Space TDR Sending Sites shall contain natural or agricultural features whose retention would implement Milton’s goals for maintaining significant environmental areas, rural character and open space. Parcels shall not qualify if the restrictions that would be imposed by a conservation easement have already been established by a preexisting easement or similar instrument. b. Park/Greenway TDR Sending Sites shall be a minimum of one acre in size, unoccupied by any residences or other improvements that would render the site unusable for public access and shall be designated as suitable for Park, Greenway, Civic Space, trail or other public recreational uses in a plan or code adopted by the City. Parcels in public ownership prior to the date of adoption of this code shall not qualify as TDR Sending Sites. However, parcels that the City buys for Parks and Greenways after the effective date of this ordinance meet the criteria for Park/Greenway TDR Sending sites. 1.7.3 TDR Sending Site Approval Process a. Open Space TDR Sending Sites: Property owners may offer their land as Open Space TDR Sending Sites using application forms provided by the community development department. If the community development director finds that the proposed property meets the criteria, he/she shall the approve the application and oversee the execution and recordation of a permanent conservation easement, approved by the community development director, that limits future development of the sending site to a density of no more than one dwelling per parcel or one dwelling per full 25 acres, whichever Density is greater. The easement shall specify that all other uses, building requirements and activities shall be controlled by the provisions of the T2 zone for parcels within this district and the provisions of the AG-1 zoning district for parcels outside this district. b. Park/Greenway TDR Sending Sites: Property owners may offer their land as Park/Greenway TDR Sending Sites using application forms provided by the community development department. If the property owner proposes to transfer title to Milton, the change of ownership shall pertain to the entire parcel. If the community development director finds that the proposed property meets the criteria for a Park/Greenway TDR Sending Site, he/she shall approve the application and oversee the transfer of title DEERFIELD FORM-BASED CODE – V5 City of Milton March 12, 2013 6 to the City of Milton or an agency/ organization authorized by the City Council for approval. A permanent public access easement approved by the community development director may be used instead of title transfer if the proposed easement would implement all preservation and public recreational goals for the site in question, subject to the approval of the City Council. This easement may apply to all or a portion of a single parcel as long as the portion subject to the easement is at least one acre in size. If a Park/Greenway TDR Sending Site is secured by easement rather than City ownership, the easement shall permanently prohibit all residential development, shall preclude any improvements that would impede site use for public purposes and shall specify that all other uses and activities will be controlled by the provisions of the T2 for parcels within this district or the provisions of the AG-1 zoning district for parcels outside this district. 1.7.4 TDR Allocation a. Open Space TDR Sending Sites: Upon recordation of an approved conservation easement, the community development director shall deduct the area of land precluded from development by preexisting easements and issue TDRs to the owners of Open Space TDR Sending Sites using the following formula: i. One TDR per full acre of Unconstrained Land ii. Plus one TDR per four full acres of Constrained Land iii. One TDR per each full five acres of land subtotaled under i. and ii. in excess of five acres b. Park/Greenway TDR Sending Sites: Upon title transfer or recordation of an approved public access easement, the community development director shall deduct the area of land precluded from development by preexisting easements and issue Transferable Development Rights to the owners of Park/Greenway TDR Sending Sites using the following two-step process. Step One: calculate the total number of TDRs produced by i, ii and iii below: i. One TDR per full acre of Unconstrained Land ii. Plus one TDR per four full acres of Constrained Land iii. Plus one TDR per each full five acres of land subtotaled under i. and ii. in excess of five acres. Step Two: Multiply the total from Step One by a factor of 1.25. c. Civic Space TDR Sending Sites: Upon title transfer or recordation of an approved public access easement, the community development director shall deduct the area of land precluded from development by preexisting easements and issue Transferable Development Rights to the owners of Park/Greenway TDR Sending Sites designated as suitable for Civic Spaces in an adopted plan or code using the following two-step process. Step One: calculate the total number of TDRs produced by i, ii and iii below: i. One TDR per full acre of Unconstrained Land ii. Plus one TDR per four full acres of Constrained Land iii. Plus one TDR per each full five acres of land subtotaled under i. and ii. in excess of five acres. Step Two: Multiply the total from Step One by a factor of 1.5. 1.7.5 TDR Transfers: The community development director shall establish and administer a process for documenting and monitoring the issuance, transfer and permanent extinguishment of TDRs when they are used to increase density in a TDR Receiving Site development. TDR Sending Site property owners who are DEERFIELD FORM-BASED CODE – V5 City of Milton March 12, 2013 7 issued TDRs may retain them, transfer them directly to TDR Receiving Site developers or transfer them to intermediaries who may also retain them or transfer them to TDR Receiving Site developers. The City of Milton may but is not obligated to buy, hold and resell TDRs. The City may also sever TDRs from land that it buys after the effective date of this ordinance for Parks and Greenways and sell these TDRs for use in TDR Receiving Site developments. The price paid for TDRs is determined by negotiation between TDR buyers and sellers. 1.7.6 TDR Receiving Sites: TDRs may be transferred to the TDR Receiving Sites designated by this code and any additional TDR Receiving Sites designated by the City. Parcels located within the Maximum Two Story Height Zone designated within this district shall not serve as TDR Receiving Sites. TDR Receiving Site owners can build at or below the Base Densities established by code without any use of TDRs. However, owners who choose to do so may exceed the Base Densities and achieve the established maximum densities at the transfer ratio set forth in Section 1.7.7. 1.7.7 TDR Transfer Ratio: Pursuant to this code, developers of projects on TDR Receiving Sites may use TDR to exceed Base Densities and achieve the maximum code-allowed Density at the transfer ratio of four building units per full TDR. Building Units shall be exchanged for Functions as set forth in Section 1.6.5. 1.7.8 Unified Sending/Receiving Site: A TDR Sending Site and a TDR Receiving Site may occur on a single parcel if the respective portions of the parcel meet all criteria. TDRs from the Sending Site portion of the parcel shall be allocated using the formula provided in 1.7.4 except TDRs shall not be granted open space and Greenway dedications that are required as a condition of site development. TDRs from the TDR Sending Site portion of the parcel may be transferred to the TDR Receiving Site portion of the parcel, transferred to a separate TDR Receiving Site or to any combination of on-site and off-site TDR Receiving Sites. 1.7.10 Compliance Requirements a. When the use of TDR results in divisions of land, TDR compliance shall occur prior to final subdivision map approval. b. When the use of TDR results in additional Density without a division of land, TDR compliance shall occur prior to building permit issuance. c. In no event shall any component of this TDR program have application to any TDR Sending Site or TDR Receiving Site outside the jurisdictional boundary of the City of Milton.

The illustrative T6 configurations below show buildings built less than the maximum permitted height. 38 March 12, 2013 DEERFIELD FORM-BASED CODE – V5 City of Milton a.T2 T3 T4 T5 T6 b.T4 T5 T6 c.T4 T5 T6 d.T5 T6 Rearyard: A building that occupies the full Frontage, leaving the rear of the lot as the sole yard. This is a very urban type as the continuous Facade steadily defines the public Thoroughfare. The rear Elevations may be articulated for functional purposes. In its Residential form, this type is the Rowhouse. For its Commercial form, the rear yard can accommodate substantial parking. Courtyard: A building that occupies the boundaries of its lot while internally defining one or more private patios. This is the most urban of types, as it is able to shield the private realm from all sides while strongly defining the public Thoroughfare. Because of its ability to accomodate incompatible activities, masking them from all sides, it is recommended for workshops, Lodging and schools. The high security provided by the continuous enclosure is useful for crime-prone areas. TABLE 7: Building Placement. This table approximates the location of the structure relative to the boundaries of each individual Lot, establishing suitable basic building types for each Transect Zone. Edgeyard: A building that occupies the center of its lot with Setbacks on all sides. This is the least urban of types as the front yard sets it back from the Frontage, while the side yards weaken the spatial definition of the public Thoroughfare space. The front yard is intended to be visually continuous with the yards of adjacent buildings. The rear yard can be secured for privacy by fences and a well placed Backbuilding and/or Outbuilding. Sideyard: A building that occupies one side of the lot with the Setback to the other side. A shallow Frontage Setback defines a more urban condition. If the adjacent building is similar with a blank side wall, the yard can be quite private. This type permits systematic climatic orientation in response to the sun or the breeze. If a Sideyard House abuts a neighboring Sideyard House, the type is known as a Twin or double house. Energy costs, and sometimes noise, are reduced by sharing a party wall in this disposition. 39 March 12, 2013 DEERFIELD FORM-BASED CODE – V5 City of Milton LOT ►◄ R.O.W. LOT ►◄ R.O.W.

This type is conventional for Retail use. The Arcade shall be no less than 12 feet wide and should overlap the Sidewalk to within 2 feet of the Curb except where prevented by a required Landscape Strip. Stoop: a Frontage wherein the Façade is aligned close to the Frontage Line with the first Story elevated from the Sidewalk sufficiently to ensure privacy for the windows. The entrance is usually an exterior stair and landing. This type is recommended for ground-floor Residential use. Stoops shall be no less than 30 inches deep. Shopfront: a Frontage wherein the Façade is aligned close to the Frontage Line with the building entrance at Sidewalk grade. This type is conventional for Retail use. It has glazing on the Sidewalk level and an awning that should overlap the Sidewalk to within 2 feet of the Curb. Syn: Retail Frontage. Gallery: a Frontage wherein the Façade is aligned with the Frontage Line with an attached cantilevered shed or lightweight colonnade overlapping the Sidewalk. This type is conventional for Retail use. The Gallery should be no less than 10 feet wide and should overlap the sidewalk to within 2 feet of the Curb, except where prevented by a required Landscape Strip. Common Yard: a planted Frontage wherein the Façade is set back substantially from the Frontage Line. The front yard created remains unfenced and is visually continuous with adjacent yards, supporting a common landscape. The deep Setback provides a buffer from the higher speed Thoroughfares. Porch & Fence: a planted Frontage where the Façade is set back from the Frontage Line with an attached porch permitted to Encroach. A fence, wall, or hedge at the Frontage Line maintains street spatial definition. Porches shall be no less than 8 feet deep. Terrace or Lightwell: a frontage wherein the Façade is setback back from the Frontage Line by an elevated terrace or sunken Lightwell. This type buffers Residential use from urban Sidewalks and removes the private yard from public encroachment. Terraces are suitable for conversion to outdoor cafes. Syn: Dooryard. Forecourt: a Frontage wherein the Façade is close to the Frontage Line and the central portion is set back. The forecourt created is suitable for vehicular drop-offs. This type should be allocated in conjunction with other Frontage types. Large trees within the Forecourts may overhang the Sidewalks. TABLE 8: Private Frontages. The Private Frontage is the areas between the building Facades and the lot lines. Buildings subject to Section 4.4.1(d) shall may substituted Open Parking for the Thoroughfare.

Executive Summary: In 2012, the city acquired approximately 14 acres of land to expand Bell Memorial Park. In November 2012, the city released a request for qualifications to seek organizations that can provide the professional services required as the first step in the expansion. That RFQ process resulted in 20 respondents. From there seven organizations were invited to provide live presentations. Based upon qualifications, Foresite Group, Inc. was determined to be the best choice to provide the design services required. Funding and Fiscal Impact: The fee of $54,100 is within the budgeted price that was planned for in the FY13 budget. This will be paid with available funds from the Parks and Trail Expansion line item in the FY13 Capital Expenditures budget. This contract will result in a final park design and the need to create Construction Documents. The fees to create the Construction Documents and the associated Construction Management will be presented as a supplemental task order once those fees are determined. Page 2 of 2 Alternatives: There are two alternatives. The first is to negotiate a similar contract with an alternative service provider. The second is to take no action and delay the reconstruction of the park.

No other evaluation criteria, other than as outlined in the RFQ, will be used. 2.1 OFFEROR COMPETITION The City encourages free and open competition among offerors. Whenever possible, the City will design specifications, proposal requests, and conditions to accomplish this objective, consistent with the necessity to satisfy the City’s need to procure technically sound, cost-effective services and supplies. 2.2 RECEIPT OF SUBMITTALS AND PUBLIC INSPECTION A. Public Information. All information received in response to this RFQ, including copyrighted material, is deemed public information and will be made available for public viewing and copying after the time for receipt of Submittals has passed, and the award has been made, with the following four exceptions: (1) bona fide trade secrets meeting confidentiality requirements that have been properly marked, separated, and documented; (2) matters involving individual safety as determined by the City of Milton; (3) any company financial information requested by the City of Milton to determine vendor responsibility, unless prior written consent has been given by the offeror; and (4) other constitutional protections. B. Procurement Officer Review of Submittals.

Please contact Rick Pearce for additional information. Information separated out under this process will be available for review only by the procurement office, the evaluation committee members, and limited other designees. Offerors must be prepared to pay all legal costs and fees associated with defending a claim for confidentiality in the event of a “right to know” (open records) request from another party. 2.3 CLASSIFICATION AND EVALUATION OF SUBMITTALS A. Initial Classification of Submittals as Responsive or Nonresponsive. Submittals may be found nonresponsive at any time during the evaluation process or contract negotiation, if any of the required information is not provided. If a proposal is found to be nonresponsive, it will not be considered further. 10 B. Determination of Responsibility. The procurement office will determine if an offeror has met the standards of responsibility. Such a determination may be made at any time during the evaluation process and through contract negotiation if information surfaces that would result in a determination of nonresponsive. C. Evaluation of Submittals. The evaluation committee will evaluate the remaining Submittals and recommend whether to award the contract to the highest scoring offeror or, if necessary, to seek discussion/negotiation in order to determine the highest scoring offeror. All responsive Submittals will be evaluated based on stated evaluation criteria. In scoring against stated criteria, the City may consider such factors as accepted industry standards and a comparative evaluation of all other qualified RFQ responses. These scores will be used to determine the most advantageous offering to the City. D. Completeness of Submittals. Selection and award will be based on the offeror’s submittal and other items outlined in this RFQ. Submitted responses may not include references to information located elsewhere, such as Internet websites or libraries, unless specifically requested. Information or materials presented by offerors outside the formal response or subsequent discussion/negotiation will not be considered, will have no bearing on any award, and may result in the offeror being disqualified from further consideration. E. Opportunity for Discussion/Negotiation and/or Oral Presentation/Product Demonstration. After receipt of all Submittals and prior to the determination of the award, the City may initiate discussions with one or more offerors should clarification or negotiation be deemed necessary. Offerors may also be required to make an oral presentation and/or product demonstration to clarify their RFQ response or to further define their response. In either case, offerors should be prepared to send qualified personnel to Milton, Georgia to discuss technical and contractual aspects of the submittal. Oral presentations and product demonstrations, if requested, shall be at the offeror’s expense. F. Evaluation Committee Recommendation for Contract Award. The evaluation committee will provide a written recommendation for contract award. G. Request for Documents Notice. Upon concurrence with the evaluation committee’s recommendation for contract award, the procurement officer may issue a “Request for Documents Notice” to the highest scoring offeror to obtain the required insurance documents, contract performance security, and any other necessary documents. Receipt of the “Request for Documents Notice” does not constitute a contract and no work may begin until a contract signed by all parties is in place. H. Contract Negotiation. The procurement officer and/or city department representatives may begin contract negotiation with the responsive and responsible offeror whose Submittal achieves the highest score and is, therefore, the most advantageous to the City. If contract negotiation is unsuccessful or the highest scoring offeror fails to provide necessary documents or information in a timely manner, or fails to negotiate in good faith, the City may terminate negotiations and begin negotiations with the next highest scoring offeror. 11 I. Contract Award. Contract award, if any, will be made to the highest scoring offeror who provides all required documents and successfully completes contract negotiation. 2.4 RIGHTS RESERVED While the City has every intention to award a contract as a result of this RFQ, issuance of the RFQ in no way constitutes a commitment by the City of Milton to award and execute a contract.

Reject any or all Submittals received in response to this RFQ, 3. Waive any undesirable, inconsequential, or inconsistent provisions of this RFQ which would not have significant impact on any proposal, 4.

Overview Bell Memorial Park (“BMP”) is located near the center of the City off Thompson Road. It is comprised of 4 youth baseball fields, 8 outdoor batting cages, 1 playground, 1 concession stand, 1 set of restrooms, one 3 bedroom house used for storage and small meetings, and parking. The Hopewell Youth Association, Inc. (“HYA”) coordinates and manages the youth baseball program which includes recreational and limited travel programs. Approximately 1,100 youth are served through HYA baseball each year. Recently the City of Milton acquired 13.92 additional acres of land, nearly all of the property between Hopewell Road and Bell Park Drive. The one residence on the corner of Thompson Road and Bell Park Drive was not acquired. These acquisitions bring BMP to 32.64 acres of land. This land includes three residential structures and ancillary buildings. Two of the residential structures are currently occupied. As such, no trespassing of this area is permitted. Prospective submitters who need access to these areas must obtain permission from the City prior to entering these structures or the surrounding property. B. History Bell Memorial Park was originally built during the 1970’s on farm land donated by the Bell family. The original park was 13.86 acres and it was built by Fulton County as a dual utilized sports field. Football was played in the fall and baseball in the spring. The lights were, and still are, arranged in a rectangular shape to accommodate the football play. The park has been modified over the years. In the early 1980’s, football was discontinued and fencing was built on the football field to delineate 2 baseball fields. These fields were designated #1 and #2. Field 1 has an average arc of about 190’. Field 2 is an oblong shaped outfield with dimensions ranging from about 240’ to 285’. This was the result of Field 2 being squeezed into the remaining land of the former football field. In 1986, Field #3 was created on the opposite side of the parking lot. The outfield dimension is 138’ and it is used for the youngest children. In 2000, Field #4, was added south of Field 3. The outfield is approximately 180’. Other amenities have been added over the years, including the concession stand, 8 batting cages, a picnic pavilion and the east parking lot. In 2005, the 3 bedroom house north of Field 3 was acquired and the current playground and small parking lot were added. The City of Milton has owned the original BMP since its inception in 2006. The active programming takes place on the 18.72 acres that are currently developed. 13 C. Current Programming The HYA maximizes the use of the 4 existing ball fields. HYA starts their spring season of baseball in mid-January and completes the season around Memorial Day. The summer season starts at the beginning of June and ends in August. The fall season starts at mid-August and ends in the first week of November. The rest of the year the field has sporadic generally unscheduled usage. A typical spring season results in approximately 680 youths registered for play across all ages and all levels of play. There is a ratio of approximately 170 players per field. The summer season supports approximately 150 youths and the fall season supports approximately 450 youths. 3.2 Scope of Services A.

COMPANY NAME: ___________________________________________ CONTACT PERSON: _________________________________________ ADDRESS: __________________________________________________ CITY: _________________ STATE: ____________ ZIP: _____________ PHONE: ______________________ FAX: _________________________ EMAIL ADDRESS: ___________________________________________ ____________________________________ ______________________ Signature Date ADDENDUM #1 2 ADDENDUM #1 RFQ 13-PR01 Questions and Answers ADDENDUM #1 RFQ 13-PR01 Questions and City of Milton Answers Is this RFQ for Design/ Build or is it just Design? The title sounds as though the construction is included however the rest of the document only refers to design This is a design project. This is a stated Request for Qualifications. As such, we are assuming that fees will not be submitted at this time – is that correct? This is correct Will the successful candidate be required to include topographic and boundary surveys as a part of their responsibilities – or is this being handled separately by the City? The city already has topographic and boundary surveys that will be made available after the contractor is selected. Will the same be true for any geotechnical studies? The City has done a limited geotechnical study on the parcel of land that was the school. The contractor should be prepared to perform additional geotechnical studies as are required during the course of the work. Does the city of Milton have any DBE/WBE participation requirements? There is no requirement for DBE/WBE participation on this project. Does the cover letter count towards the 20 page limit? Yes Is it possible for you to outline the new property on an aerial photograph (Google earth is sufficient) to illustrate to the bidders the area of new property in question? This would go a long ways to minimize any incorrect assumptions. 3 ADDENDUM #1 RFQ 13-PR01 Questions and Answers Please see the attached Google Earth aerial photograph with the property outlined. Do you have a construction budget for this project? The budget has not yet been established. Should interested firms include surveyor qualifications in the submittal? Will the consultant need to provide survey during the design phase, or will it be provided by the City? The city will provide the survey. 4 ADDENDUM #1 RFQ 13-PR01 Questions and Answers In the RFQ, on page fourteen (14), Item 7 – Construction Management. We are assuming that this means the design team providing Construction Observation services and not bringing in a construction management company. Is this correct? This is correct. No design fees are to be submitted, correct? Correct Is the address for one of the acquired parcels actually 15315 Thompson Road? The address given for the RFQ appears incorrect based on location. The addresses of the acquired properties are: 15315 Thompson Road, 0 Bell Park Drive, 15165 Hopewell Road, 15260 Bell Park Drive, 15155 Hopewell Road, 15250 Bell Park Drive and 0 Bell Park Drive. The original park has an address of 0 Hopewell Road Rear or 15245 Bell Park Drive (depending on which database you search) Will a boundary and topographic survey be provided by the City or is the Consultant to include surveying as a part of their scope? A boundary and topographic survey will be provided by the City. Are any of the acquired parcels required to go through rezoning as a part of the development process? No. Is water and sewer available or will any new facilities require wells/septic? There is no sewer available at the property. There is functioning septic at the active park and at each home today. All parcels with houses on them have water provided by Fulton County, except the parcel at 15165 Hopewell Road which has a functioning well. The consultant must be prepared to explore the use of that well as the source of water for the park irrigation. Will the City procure their own Geotechnical or Hazardous Material (asbestos testing for building demolition) consultants or should those services be anticipated as part of the design scope? The consultant should be prepared to provide this service if it is determined that these services are needed. Public Input - The RFQ asks for the offeror to show abilities to provide services in facilitating “meetings with user groups, boards, commissions, city councils, etc. as may be necessary.” Have any specific groups been identified to assist in this project other than the City of Milton and the Hopewell Youth Association (HYA), both of whom were mentioned 5 ADDENDUM #1 RFQ 13-PR01 Questions and Answers in the RFQ? Will a steering committee be created for this project? Is the offeror to provide suggestions on how to organize a public involvement program? The steering committee will be predominately City Parks and Recreation and Public Works staff with one representative from HYA and one from the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB). Existing Structures – Is the City interested in the reuse of the existing residential structures on the site, or are they slated for removal? The City is open to the suggestions and recommendations of the consultant on this. Parks System Master Plan – Does the City have a current parks system master plan? If so, is the document available for review and does it include recommendations for the expansion of Bell Memorial Park? There is a current Master Plan for parks in the City and it does address the recommendations for the expansion of Bell Memorial Park. The Master Plan is online here: http://bit.ly/THIFZX Existing Data – What information such as, mapping, constructions plans, environmental studies, past planning and design studies, etc. exist for this site? Is this information available now for review? If not available currently, can the consultant assume it will be provided at the initiation of this project? The City has topographic data and surveys of each plot of land. They will be made available to the consultant. Also, the previously mentioned Master Plan is a good reference tool. To help achieve a better understanding of the scope of work and the description of the newly obtained property to achieve the goals as outlined on page 12 and 13 of Section 3, can the city please provide a site plan outlining the existing property lines and where the new property has been acquired? See overview on page 3 Section 3.2 on page 13 outlines some of the amenities the City of Milton would like to add. Can you please be a bit more specific as to the size of the fields and versatility the city has in their use. Are the diamond shaped fields being proposed more geared to T-ball, Pony League, Little League or Adult? Are the size of the rectangular fields requested more geared toward the Youth Leagues or Adult? The specifications of the field sizes will be developed in post contract award discussions with the consultant. The focus of the RFQ is to identify consultant teams that have successfully rebuilt and expanded a functioning park without disrupting the active programming. 6 ADDENDUM #1 RFQ 13-PR01 Questions and Answers Section 1.4 on page 5 reviews the submittal requirements for the SOQ. Will the applicable addendum acknowledgement forms be considered as part of the 20 page limit? Addendum documents are not part of the 20 page limit. Should the scope include public involvement?

In Milton's Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan, there is a Concept Plan for Bell Memorial Park (page 50), is that the Master Plan that should be fine tuned or completely revised? or does that not have any bearing on this RFQ? The drawing is exactly what it is, a concept plan. It should have no bearing on your response to this RFQ. Should all the proposed fields be lighted? Yes Does the City want to save the 2 existing houses that have access off Bell Park Road? That has no bearing on the response to this RFQ On page 57 & 58 of the Milton Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan there are cost opinions for the expansion & renovation of Bell Memorial Park.

This team includes Lyman Davidson Dooley Architects (LDD) and Trail Design Specialists. Our team partners were selected based on their specific and specialized experience in park design, as well as our past experience collaborating together. Collectively, we have completed over 60 parks in the State of Georgia.My name is Erica Madsen and I will serve as your Project Director and Point-of-Contact for your Bell Memorial Park project, ensuring that all deliverables are completed accurately and on time. I have experience leading the success of active parks like Bryson Sports Complex, Rhodes Jordan Park and J.J. Biello Soccer Park, and I will apply my expertise in public involvement, construction phasing and master planning design towards the goals of this project. Our team understands that maintaining the “Best Quality of Life in Georgia” involves hiring the best consultant. A summary of our qualifications is included below, with additional details included in the RFQ package. Understanding the unique goals and challenges of the Bell Memorial Park Expansion.This active park is heavily scheduled with sports leagues, with limited available field space for relocation during construction. Foresite Group is accustomed to expansion design and construction administration within parks still in use. From the beginning, our team will consider everything from project phasing, to communication with the City and youth league leadership, to new sod installation practices. In addition, we understand that the surrounding community considers trail design to be an integral element of this park. For this reason, we have included Mark Riter of Trail Design Specialists. Mike focuses on fulfilling user expectations by creating trails that allow users to observe nature at its finest and by designing for durability with minimal maintenance. We have provided more information on our experience and considerations for this site in the Work Plan Section beginning on page 4. Experienced in active park design and public involvementForesite Group’s past experience with active parks includes the J.J. Biello Soccer Park Expansion project in Woodstock, Georgia and Bryson Park Multi-Field Sports Complex in Lilburn, Georgia. We are currently completing master plan designs and public involvement for Russell Park Sportsplex in Alexander City and a new park in the City of Holly Springs. Our team not only knows how to work on active park expansions, but we know how to work with one another. Foresite Group has collaborated with LDD on numerous Gwinnett County projects, including West Gwinnett Park Aquatic Center, Best Friend Park FORESITE GROUP City of Milton RFQ - FY13 Bell Memorial Park Master Plan Design & Construction 3 cOvER lETTER + SOq SUmmARy Redevelopment and Graves Park Renovations.

High level of service and quality of work.Foresite Group currently holds on-call design contracts with Gwinnett County Department of Community Services, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, and Cherokee County Recreation & Parks Authority. These contracts have been renewed for multiple years in a row, standing as a testament to our level of service and quality of work. We take pride in maintaining effective and open communication lines with City project managers and stakeholders for all project planning needs.We are confident you will agree that our proven approach, comprehensive team, and exceptional qualifications for Parks and Greenspace design are most responsive to the City of Milton’s needs. Our team of experts is focused on enhancing the local community with a comprehensive and cohesive design, with particular construction phasing and public involvement considerations. Please feel free to contact me with questions about our proposal. We look forward to working with you,Sincerely, FORESITE GROUP, Inc Erica S. Madsen, PE, LEED AP Project Director + Point-of-ContactForesite Group Greenspace + Land Design Division Director emadsen@foresitegroupinc.com770.368.1399 ext 316 FORESITE GROUP City of Milton RFQ - FY13 Bell Memorial Park Master Plan Design & Construction 4 wORk PlAn We, at Foresite Group, are excited to present our qualifications for the Bell Memorial Park Master Planning Design and Construction project. You will see that our commitment to managing the project schedule and ensuring effective communication is best suited to meet the City’s need for an experienced and dependable consultant. Foresite Group has teamed with Lyman Davis Dooley Architects (LDD) and Trail Design Specialists to bring expertise, team experience and quality into every phase of this project. We will be your partner in creating a successful park expansion for the City and its residents. Foresite Group shares your commitment to quality park spaces within our community. In accordance with our experience, your Request for Qualifications (RFQ), and the City of Milton’s Comprehensive Plan, we recognize the following goals as our principal objectives in this project approach:• Facilitate a successful public input process to produce a master plan for the park expansion• Develop a consensus from stakeholders on master plan elements• Provide a cost-effective design that provides much needed active recreation facilities• Work with the land to design a solution that maintains and builds upon the natural beauty of the property• Manage the project schedule from master planning to construction in a way that allows most efficient use of the existing facilities and fastest integration of proposed facilities upon completion of construction• Develop periodic construction cost estimates and ongoing maintenance cost estimates for City budget planning• Assist the City in determining the best approach to project phasing in order to meet budget and operational needs• Manage bidding and construction as the City’s representative to oversee progress, quality and schedules• Maintain proactive and continuous communication with the City about each current and upcoming phase of work Our specific work plan is centered around the unique challenges and needs of Bell Memorial Park. This active park is heavily scheduled with youth leagues. Schedules are set months in advance, with little flexibility to reschedule games due to limited available field space. Therefore, from the beginning, it is essential to plan how a park expansion can be implemented. Considerations must include everything from project phasing, to communication with the City and youth league leadership, to new sod installation practices. FORESITE GROUP City of Milton RFQ - FY13 Bell Memorial Park Master Plan Design & Construction 5 wORk PlAn Phasing of project construction may be the most straightforward task, but it requires creative design. Foresite Group is accustomed to expansion design and construction administration within active parks. Without the luxury of a blank slate, design plans must accommodate things like alternate vehicular routes during construction, management of construction traffic, and provisions for public safety – all while providing a quality final product. Other ways to encourage timely construction or to penalize contractor tardiness could include instating liquidated damage clauses at critical junctures in the schedule. Communication between the project design team and project stakeholders will be crucial. Foresite Group prides itself on maintaining effective and open communication lines with City project managers and stakeholders. Erica Madsen, your Project Director and Point-of-Contact, will oversee project due diligence, public involvement, master planning, design and construction administration. She will update your project manager with information that the City will need to gain public support for the project, plan for future park operations, develop realistic budget expectations, and communicate with youth league representatives. We take your needs as our own, and we will serve as your invaluable resource for information. Communication will be essential for project planning, operations planning, public buy-in, and league planning. From the start, we will “begin with the end in mind”. The master planning process will get the public excited about new facilities. As our team works through detailed construction document design and permitting, residents will be wondering when the project will break ground. Then, once construction begins, the community will be pushing to quickly get the new fields in use! In order to provide good facilities and protect the City’s investment, Foresite Group will plan early to determine the best timeline and approach for proper sodding practices and grow-in times. Consider this: It will take an entire month with average day temperatures above 80 degrees for sod to take root. In the summer, rooting may take two months to really take hold. Ideally, the sod application would take place in May. If sod is laid later than mid-August, then the best approach could be to over-seed with rye, or to lay sod with rye seed already contained. These approaches should be considered to hold the sod in place and allow for scheduled play. There are many components to scheduling as it relates to ball field construction but the most important factor is the timing of sod installation. It is also important to prevent activity on the fields until the sod is well rooted. If the entire project team, from the design team to end-user representatives, begins with these important considerations, the project will progress smoothly and the final product will be a sustainable solution. Please review our process and experience that follows, and you will find the Foresite Group team to be the most in-sync with your specific needs for the Bell Memorial Park expansion project. PUblIc InPUT And mASTER PlAnnInGOur work plan consists of distinct phases of public input and project conception. Then, we will move into design, final permitting and Construction Administration. It is imperative to work towards public buy-in of the final design. Users of Bell Memorial Park are heavily involved in athletic leagues, and they will need to be informed about the process and timelines for the actual expansion implementation. Owners and residents of surrounding properties may be concerned about how the park expansion FORESITE GROUP City of Milton RFQ - FY13 Bell Memorial Park Master Plan Design & Construction 6 wORk PlAn could affect their properties. We will engage stakeholders through our experience with public input meetings and with park planning that manages operational needs with considerate design. For example, only two months ago (October and November 2012), Foresite Group completed a successful master planning process for the City of Holly Springs. The process included public meetings to solicit resident desires and present conceptual plans. We are proud that our conceptual design was considered by local media to be well-received by attendees, including some residents who were initially opposed to the idea of a public park so close to their homes. Communication and education continue to be key to successful planning. Foresite Group will work with the City of Milton to outline the master planning process. We will conduct public meetings to collect input, present concept plans, and exhibit final master plans. We will develop an expansion concept that best meets your goals and budget. PRElImInARy dESIGn, dESIGn dEvElOPmEnT, cOnSTRUcTIOn dOcUmEnTS & PERmITTInGUpon approval of the master plan, Foresite Group will work with the City of Milton to determine the best construction approach. We will assemble Preliminary Design, Design Development, and Construction Document level plans for the project. • We will organize Preliminary Design plans into fully coordinated construction documents for all disciplines involved in the design, including site layout, architecture, irrigation and site lighting. All of the existing and design data will be converted to digital format and illustrated on the base map of the entire project for review by the City of Milton Parks & Recreation representatives. A high priority will be placed on low-maintenance design. This process will extend into the Final Construction Document phase and LDD will be an essential part of the design phase• We understand that the community is interested in incorporating trails into the design concept. We are excited to include Trail Design Specialists in our project design team, who believes in leaving nature’s aesthetics in tact while simultaneously creating safe, durable, and easily maintainable multi-use trails. Known throughout the state for sustainable design and close construction oversight, Mike Riter will assist Foresite Group in providing the best trail alignment and design that Bell Memorial Park can accommodate.• The design team will compile 3-D terrain model in an effort to balance the earthwork for this phase of the project. This terrain model illustrates grading, placement, and appearance of the proposed amenities and could be used to evaluate design alternatives and earthwork costs.• The design team will evaluate stormwater and erosion control measures for conveyance, collection and containment in accordance to the City of Milton and Georgia Environmental Protection Department (EPD) requirements. We will explore and evaluate proposed stormwater management practices and erosion control elements with City staff to develop aesthetic FORESITE GROUP City of Milton RFQ - FY13 Bell Memorial Park Master Plan Design & Construction 7 wORk PlAn designs and ease of construction. We will generate illustrative details of the creative erosion control measures and stormwater conveyance systems.• The design team will prepare cost estimates, plan views and renderings, an updated schedule and program, and will conduct submittal meetings with the City of Milton Parks & Recreation Department before progressing to project bidding and construction.Permitting needs will be considered at the outset of detailed design. Pending further research into property topography, there may be special environmental permits needed. Foresite Group is experienced in working with jurisdictions to manage plan review and approval timelines within the overall project schedule.Upon permit approval, a bid package will be submitted to City of Milton Purchasing. This bid package will include a Project Manual with all applicable site and building specifications related to construction of the improvements. bIddInG ASSISTAncE And cOnSTRUcTIOn ObSERvATIOnOur experience includes bid document preparation, pre-qualification of bidders (if desired), distribution of plans and specifications, attendance at the pre-bid conference, issuance of addenda and clarifications, as well as attendance at the bid opening meeting.In order to oversee and manage the project construction schedule, we would request a detailed schedule be submitted by the contractor upon mobilization. Project specifications would require that this schedule be updated at least once a month to track essential milestones. As mentioned above, the construction contract could be written with other conditions to encourage completion within the overall project schedule. We naturally anticipate that there will be time spent by the design team in the field during construction. Our office is nearby, allowing us to be at the site vquickly. Members of the design team will visit the site throughout the construction phase and will assist the City with all aspects of construction administration and project closeout. We are excited for the opportunity to serve the citizens of the City of Milton with this park expansion project. Our team’s experience and qualifications are best suited to provide you with a successful end product!
