PUBLIC HEARING
1. Consideration of a Resolution of the City of Milton, Georgia Extending for 90 Days a
Moratorium Barring the Acceptance of Applications for Rezonings to the CUP, NUP, TR, R-2
and R-2A Zoning Districts.
(Agenda Item No. 14-212)
(Ken Jarrard, City Attorney)
Ken Jarrard, City Attorney
As you know, the city has had a moratorium in place with respect to the acceptance of new zoning
applications for the zoning categories of CUP, NUP, TR, R-2, R-2A. The moratorium is scheduled
to expire August 1, 2014. It is my understanding that there may be a need to continue the
moratorium for at least an additional 90 days. So, it is necessary that we have this public hearing if
you choose to extend the moratorium.
Walter Rekuc, 615 Scarlet Oak Trail, Milton, Georgia 30004
I am concerned about the moratorium. Is it a maximum of90 days or perhaps sooner? Ifwe could
give staff some input on these changes, I think it would be beneficial. Tomorrow, the Community
Development Department will be meeting with real estate agents, developers, builders, etc. to talk
about this issue and conservation subdivisions. I hope the moratorium will not stay in place any
longer than necessary.
SECOND PUBLIC HEARING
2. Consideration of an Ordinance of the Mayor and Council of the City of Milton, Georgia to
Establish the Ad Valorem Tax Rate of the City of Milton for Fiscal Year 2014, and for Other
Purposes.
(Agenda Item No. 14-194)
(First Presentation at July 7, 2014 Regular City Council Meeting)
(First Public Hearing Held at July 7, 2014 Regular City Council Meeting)
(Stacey Inglis, Assistant City Manager)
Stacey Inglis, Assistant City Manager
According to the official code of Georgia 48-532, we are required to hold three public hearings on the
establishment of a millage rate when there is an increase in the tax digest. The first public hearing was
held on July ih. Tonight is the second public hearing. The third public hearing and adoption of the
millage rate will be presented on August 4th. Tax bills are projected to be mailed on September 15t with
taxes due on October 31 st. The total tax digest is $2,112,490,166. The total tax digest includes real,
personal, and motor vehicle taxes. The total taxes levied will be $9,994,191. Property taxes will be
almost $9 .5 million and motor vehicle taxes will be about $500,000. There is a property tax increase of
4 .17% which is due to the reassessment of existing property. This is inflationary reassessments only.
When coupled with the upsurge in the tax digest for newly improved properties, the overall taxes levied
will be 8.1 % higher than 2013. This is not a millage rate increase; this is an inflationary increase for
reassessments for existing property . The millage rate of 4.731 mills is the same rate the city has had
since our first tax bill in 2007.

ZONING AGENDA
1. Consideration ofRZ14-10NC14-01-13941, 13943,13945 Highway 9 North (east side) by
Phoenix Senior Living, LLC Containing 5.3 Acres Currently Zoned 0-1 (Office -Institutional) to
0-1 (Office-Institutional) to Develop a 74,000 Square Foot Assisted LivinglMemory Care
Facility (86 units) and a Concurrent Variance to Increase the Height of the Building from 2
Stories and 30 feet from Average Grade to the Eave to 3 Stories and 36 feet to the Eave.
ORDINANCE NO. 14-07-212
(Agenda Item No. 14-187)
(First Presentation at July 7, 2014 Regular City Council Meeting)
(Kathleen Field, Community Development Director)
Mayor Lockwood
Let me make an announcement. For myself, at one point I was involved with, and Ken can confirm this,
in the past I think I have recused myself on this case because at one point I was involved with a
company that owned the property and that is still a little bit in litigation. Not that it has anything to do
with this use or whatever but just for the record I won't be voting on this and I am not going to comment
on it.
City Attorney Jarrard
That's right. You have done this out of an abundance of caution.
Councilmember Lusk
I too will recuse myself. My company is having discussions with the applicant.
Mayor Lockwood
Does Bill need to leave?
City Attorney Jarrard
No, you are welcome to stay.
Kathleen Field, Community Development Director
The first slide shows the site outlined in red. As we all know, it is directly north of the CVS on Route 9.
We are showing the zoning and there are four parcels and the northern ones are outside of the Deerfield
Form Based Code and are zoned ONI. This particular slide shows the current zoning as it exists. You
can see the Form Based Code covers the two southern parcels. The future land use map for this area
shows it to be for mixed use and you can see that it, again, the two northern parcels are located in what
will be our Highway 9 North area. As you know, we went through the visioning which proposes mixed
use for this whole area but it is not in place at the moment but we tried to honor the intent. The revised
site plan is shown before you that was submitted on June 18, 2014. And, here is an elevation that was
submitted June 25 th of the proposed site. The subject site contains 5.3 acres and is undeveloped with a
vacant house. The subject site was rezoned 0-1 Office Institutional pursuant to RZ07-I0 for 28,104
square feet at a density of 5,332 square feet per acre of general office for the four parcels. And, there is
an analysis essentially of the zoning as it relates to the four parcels. You can see the two north parcels
are in ONI and then over the ONI we have the Highway 9 Overlay and that overlay only allows two
stories. The two south parcels are in the Form Based Code with a T5 transect zone to be specific and it
does allow graded density at four stories. So, we have basically a cut in terms of the parcel in terms of
Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council
Monday, July 21, 2014 at 6:00 pm
Page 5 of 13
what the zoning is. Since the adoption of the DeerfieldfHighway 9 Form Based Code, there was a
request to rezone from 0-1 Office Institutional to Townhouse Residential to develop 24 single family
detached residences . Both the staff and Planning Commission recommended denial based on the future
land use plan recommendation of Mixed Use and the Form Based Code recommending T5 which
contemplates mixed use development for that portion of the site within the T5 transect zone. The
applicant withdrew the request without prejudice at the City Council meeting on January 22, 2014.
Based on the applicant's revised site plan submitted to the Community Development Department on
June 18, 2014, staff offers the following considerations. State Route 9 overlay district requirements
based on all the required development standards, the site plan indicates compliance with the
development standards for 0-1 and the State Route 9 overlay district except for the height. In terms of
the Deerfield Form Based Code area, the development meets the intent of the development standards.
Staff requested that the building be pushed forward to Route 9 as far as possible to be in keeping with
the Form Based Code and that is for both the Deerfield Code as well as the intended code that we will be
putting in place for the State Route 9 area. Although the rezoning process does not require architects to
be submitted, the applicant has worked with staff and the city architect to meet the requirements of
essentially all of the codes that affect it. The applicant has submitted various designs and has responded
to both the Design Review Board and the city architect's feedback to produce an aesthetically pleasing
building. The rendering provided in the report reflects the latest iteration. The final building design,
however, will be required to be presented to the Design Review Board prior to the issuance of the
building permit. VCI4-01, to increase the height of the building from two stories and 30 feet from
average grade to the eave to three stories and 36 feet from average grade to the eave, section 64-1095.
The proposed building height is three stories and 36 feet from average grade to the eave. The nature of
an assisted living facility requires a large amount of square footage thus the need for increase in stories
and height. On this site, by designing a building vertically, less of the site is measurably impacted with
additional vegetation removed. Staff also noticed that the T5 transect zone permits buildings to be built
up to four stories in height. The city architect has worked closely with the applicant's architect to
present a building that is in keeping with the site as well as designing a building to blend in with the site .
It is staffs opinion that the applicant has demonstrated that relief, if granted, would not offend the spirit
or intent of this zoning ordinance. The applicant has designed a building that works with the site and
has preserved a large portion of the site with vegetation as well as specimen trees. Additionally, the 0-1
zoning district also allows buildings to be up to four stories in height even though the Highway 9
Overlay District requires two stories. There are such extraordinary and exceptional situations or
conditions pertaining to the particular piece of property that the literal or strict application of this zoning
ordinance would create an unnecessary hardship. Relief, if granted, would not cause a substantial
detriment to the public good and surrounding properties. It is staff s opinion that the site and the
building are designed appropriately to ameliorate the effects of three stories. It will not cause a
substantial detriment to the public. Based on this analysis, staff recommends approval/conditional of
VC14-01. Arborist comments: there are eleven specimen trees on the site that will require recompense.
The applicant has stated that three specimen trees will be removed that consist of a three inch pine, a
thirty inch oak, and a twenty-eight inch oak. Staff notes that in the previous rezoning pursuant to RZ07
lOa condition of zoning was included to preserve three trees on the site identified as 1, 5, and 6. The
exhibit will be included at the end of the staff report. The applicant stated that these trees will be saved.
In terms of the financial modeling impact, our analysis shows that over twenty years the annual net
fiscal impact will be $515,479. In terms of public involvement, the CZIM meeting was held on May
2ih. The applicant was present. There were four members of the community in attendance. There were
no specific comments made regarding the project. Public participation report; the applicant hosted a
public participation meeting on Monday, June 2nd at the Windward Kroger community room. The
applicant's report stated that no one appeared at the meeting. There was a courtesy review by the
Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council

Design Review Board and their comments include that the community would prefer a building with a
non-institutional look with more of a bungalow style with depth and perspective, more variation of the
fas:ade, consider multiple masses, would not oppose a three story building if it fit in the site properly.
The subdivisions right behind the site in Lake Laurel may have issues with the proposed three story
building. Rendering should show building on actual grate. Perhaps, wait until the new Highway 9 Form
Based Code is completed and work with the city architect directly to come up with a product that the
community will buy into. Standards of review; the proposed assisted living facility developed with
74,000 square feet and a density of 13,962 square feet per acre is suitable to the existing uses to the
south and the north. To the east, the required 75 foot undisturbed buffer and ten foot improvement
setback provides the necessary screening. It is staff s opinion that the proposed use is suitable with
adjacent and nearby developments and zonings and to the Deerfield South State Route 9 Form Based
Code Overlay District. Therefore, staff recommends approval/conditional RZ 14-10 and VC 14-0 1. The
Planning Commission recommended approval/conditional of both of these applications. Recommended
conditions: To the owner's agreement to restrict the use of the subject property as follows:
An assisted living/memory care facility with no more than 86 living units.
No more than 74,000 square feet at a maximum density of 13,962 square feet per acre.
To the revised site plan received by the Community Development Department on June 18, 2014. Said
site plan is conceptual only and must meet or exceed the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, all other
applicable city ordinances.
Height shall not exceed three (3) stories and 36 feet from average grade to the roof eave.
Preserve trees identified as 1, 5, and 6 on the exhibit attached .
Prior to the issuance of the Land Disturbance Permit, an approved combination plat shall be completed
for the existing four parcels.
Final design of the site and building to be approved by the City Architect.
To the owner's agreement to abide by all requirements, dedication, and improvements as per ODOT and
the city's Director of Public Works. All stated conditions are to be met. There are several of them
which I will not go into but are included in your report.
Mayor Lockwood
Are there any questions for Kathy now before the presentation?
Nathan Pete Hendricks, 6085 Lake Forrest Drive Suite 200, Atlanta, Georgia 30328
Before we get started, Robyn, could we take a look at the preamble page and the recommended
conditions 86; it is 86 units, not 84 units.
Robyn MacDonald
The power point says 84 units but it is actually 86 units.
Pete Hendricks
Mr. Mayor and members of council, Pete Hendricks, I practice law at 6085 Lake Forrest Drive in Sandy
Springs. Kathy has been through the litany of the application with particular regard to the concurrent
variance being sought, the hardship that is unique to the property, the standards that must be met in order
to achieve the relief that is being sought under the concurrent variance and the fact that your staff has
found that the applicant has fully complied to each and everyone of those three primary standards that
are required. It is a 5.3 acre tract that is contiguous and to the south is a CVS zoned to the C-l
classification contiguous and to the north is M-l zoning and that is sort of a comfort design facility that
is being operated on that particular piece of property. I think out of all of your staff review and
comment to me probably the most poignant appears on page 17 where it says the site is bisected between
Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council
Monday, July 21, 2014 at 6:00 pm
Page 7 of 13
the traditional 0-1 zoning district with the State Route 9 Overlay District and the Deerfield Highway 9
Fonn Based Code Overlay. Staff has reviewed the site and the building so that the portion in the Fonn
Based Code development meets the intent of those standards as well as the portion within State Route 9
Overlay the development meets these standards. Speaking to the same point again on page 23, once
again confinnation with your comprehensive plan, as we have gone through this, we know of no
opposition that has come forward . We have a recommendation of approval out of your staff on both the
rezoning request as well as a concurrent variance request. Jesse Marinko who is the person who is the
principal applicant, is the person that would undertake the ownership, development, and management of
this property if you see fit to approve it. So, I am going to let Jesse step up and explain who he is and
what his background is and with that we would respectively request your approval of both applications
pursuant to the recommendation from staff.
Jesse Marinko, 114 Townpark Drive, Suite 400, Kennesaw, Georgia 30144
I am the owner and operator of Phoenix Senior Living. We are a locally held, privately held
organization operating out of Kennesaw, Georgia. I grew up in Georgia. I played college ball at the
University of West Georgia so you could say that I am a locally, home grown guy. I have worked in
Senior Housing for the last 15 years. I worked for companies like Sunrise Senior Living, Brookdale
Senior Living, and Benchmark Senior Living. Some of those were publicly held institutions and some
of those are privately held institutions. I have worked in all capacities from simple site management to
the VP of Operations over the east coast to overseeing acquisitions in development for the privately held
firm, Benchmark Senior Living. The goal of Phoenix Senior Living is to be a quality organization that
is focused on care, compassion for the resident, compliant with state guidelines and quality care and also
to create jobs within the local market. This assisted living and memory care community will roughly
create between 50-65 jobs in the City of Milton overall. The community as we have talked about is an
86 unit community that will serve assisted living and memory care residents. So, adding additional
services to the market as well. I just appreciate the opportunity to present. We also have my architect,
Keith Allen, who is from RKS Green Consultants who has developed the property. I will allow him to
talk a little bit about the site and how he has designed it.
Keith Allen, 4025 Little Falls Drive, Cumming, Georgia 30041
I am with RKS Green Consulting Group. We are based in Cumming, Georgia. We are an architect and
civil engineering firm and we are doing the architecture and the civil engineering on this project. My
civil engineer is out of town so I am trying to step in on his behalf. What we tried to do first and
foremost with this site is to align with some of the proposed realignment of the Bethany Bend area. The
realignment on the west side of Bethany Bend is proposed to go in at roughly the center of our site and
so we tried to establish the entrance at that point where a signal could be centralized at that intersection
if necessary. The GDOT is going to accept this and it also allows us to place the building on the portion
of the site where we can slope down from this area and slope down again. There is about 20 feet of fall
from the back. It is a little deceiving when you look at the site. There is a good bit of fall but we are
proposing that the building might be about 6 to 7 feet below the grade at this point, below the road, I'm
sorry. And, so the circulation of traffic would be to come in and go through this way . We tried to
minimize the number of parking spaces at the front of the site to just eleven spaces. This allows us to
put the building closer to the road which was requested by the Planning Commission. We have worked
with the city architect to come up with a building that is pleasing with a bungalow craftsman style stone
and brick which will comprise 75% of the building to meet the fonn based code intent. So, we are
asking for your approval of this item.

Pete Hendricks
Just a closing comment. I think with this type of use we have a benefit that runs of being a very quiet,
non-invasive, non-intrusive use. You have no a.m. and p.m. peaks. You have a modest amount of
traffic coming and going and obviously you don't have an infusion of school children. So, with that I
think it really fits within the fabric of the mix of uses that is envisioned for this part of the city. Thank
you.
Councilmember Kunz
With regards to staff, I am just making sure; we have 86 units, 30 some odd parking spaces, is that
normal for a commercial property , a property like this? I just wanted to verify that.
Robyn MacDonald
It does. There is an actual ratio that is required in the code for this type of use and they actually have a
few more parking spots than required by the code.
Councilmember Kunz
We have a specific code just for senior living places?
Robyn MacDonald
Yes.
Motion and Vote: Councilmember Longoria moved to approve Agenda Item No. 14-187.
Councilmember Mohrig seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously (4-0). Mayor Lockwood
and Councilmember Lusk recused themselves from the vote. Council member Hewitt was absent from

2. Consideration of ZM14-06 -Southeast Comer of Birmingham Road Containing 22.30 Acres
Currently Zoned MIX (Mixed Use) and AG-l (Agricultural). By Capkey Birmingham Partners,
LLC to Modify Condition l.d. to Delete the Community Park and Community Septic System.
To Modify Condition 2.a. to Revise the Site Plan. (RZI4-0116).

(First Presentation at July 7,2014 Regular City Council Meeting)
(Kathleen Field, Community Development Director)
Kathleen Field, Community Development Director
Thank you Mr. Mayor and members of the council. On the slide you can see the area parcel outlined in
red. This is the same parcel that came before you last month. The current zoning shows for the northern
part of the parcel to be mixed use and then the lower part to be AG-l. This is the revised site plan that
was submitted on June 17, 2014. Also , here is the original site plan from 2004 for the approved zoning
at that time. In terms of history and background, at the June 16, 2014 Mayor and City Council , the
applicant's request pursuant to ZM14-03 to amend Conditions I.c., I.d., 2.a., and 3.b were approved.
These amended conditions deleted the requirement for the day care facility, allowed single family

homes, curb cut(s) along Birmingham Hwy to be determined by the Georgia Department of
Transportation and lastly modified the site plan.
After further evaluation of the site plan with original conditions approved pursuant to 2004Z-ll6 by
Fulton County, Staff detennined that Condition 2.d. had not been met (Staff also notes that there are two
conditions numbered 2.d. and this is a typo from the Fulton County conditions) and therefore the need to
modify it to eliminate the community park and community septic system. In addition, Staff requested
that Condition 2.a. be included to remove the reference to the "community waste water facility"
indicated on the site plan within the AG-l portion of the development. And, to essentially summarize
what is going on here in terms of the request is that the applicant would like to use the community septic
system that is on the northeast quadrant as opposed to using the one that was included on their site plan
as part of the original rezoning. There was a separate community septic system on the southeast
quadrant. So, they would like that to go away and would like instead to use and share the existing one
that is behind Publix, therefore, there is a request to modify the condition as well as to change the site
plan which actually has a delineation on the site plan of this request as well, of this requirement, I should
say. So, therefore the proposed modification to the conditions are to delete from (l)d the requirement
for community park and community septic system and essentially just make reference to the residential
development on the one acre minimum lot on the 13 acres. These are the 13 acres that are zoned AG-1
on the southern end of this proposed development. Also, to change the site plan to the one dated June
17, 2014 and that will delete on the site plan that requirement for the community septic system on the
southeast comer. So, it is a change of condition and change of the site plan. At the CZIM Meeting on
June 24, 2014 there were no members of the community present. The applicant is requesting to delete
the required community park and septic system as described above. It was the applicant's intent to serve
the southeast quadrant with the existing community septic system located on the northeast quadrant.
Staff notes that the one acre AG-1 lots will be required to provide individual septic systems for each of
their lots as required. In addition, the community park was to be developed in conjunction with the
required community waste facility which is how the community waste facility was developed on the
northeast quadrant. If the community septic is deleted, so should the community park. Below is the
letter from the engineer indicating that there is future capacity for the southeast quadrant using the
northeast quadrant's community septic system. And, this is the letter that we have from Ken Wood
stating that there is capacity in the community septic system on the northeast quadrant to serve the
southeast quadrant. As mentioned before, there is reference on the 2004 site plan of "community waste
water facility". The revised site plan indicates that general area as "open space". This is an acceptable
substitute and at such time the site is developed, this area will remain undeveloped. Based on staff's
analysis, staff recommends approvaVconditional of condition 2a and 2d as referenced above. Are there
any questions?
Councilmember Lusk
Kathy, I wasn't here at the previous meeting, that area that was previously designated as a community
park, what is that area going to be?
Kathy Field
It will not be developed. It will be open space. And, that is what will show on the revised site plan.
Councilmember Thurman
Staff recommended approval of condition 2a and 2d. What about 1d which was the modified; are you
recommending approval of all of that too?

Kathy Field
Robyn, can you clarify that? Is that a typo because as I was reading it; should it be 2a and 1 d as
referenced above?
Robyn MacDonald
It is 2a and 1 d and that is in the report.
Councilmember Thurman
So, it is not 2a and 2d it is 2a and 1 d.
Robyn MacDonald
Correct.
Kathy Field
Thank you.
Loren Wimpfeimer, 5 Concourse Parkway, Suite 2950, Atlanta, Georgia 30328
I defer. I reserve my time for Ken Wood.
Ken Wood, 350 Research Court, Norcross, Georgia 30092
We can before you last month to talk about the project so I will keep it brief. Essentially, this is the
previous site plan and this is the location that was specified for the community septic tank and when we
got to looking at it, we realized that it was just one of the site planning things that we can across
previously where sometimes things just kind of get put on the plan where there is space left over. We
realized the slopes in this area are too steep for a community septic field so it would not have worked
anyway. So, then we had a lot of discussions with AG Armstrong, the owner of the treatment plant, and
realized that there was sufficient capacity for the development. So, we worked with his engineer and
myself and came to a conclusion that there was capacity for the 33 single family homes or townhomes to
be proposed up here as well as additional capacity for the commercial. For some reason, if everything
wanted to be a restaurant and we slightly exceeded that additional capacity, we also have areas down
just below the commercial where we can do an additional couple of septic lines if we needed to but we
don't anticipate that. So, for right now the area that we have on our site plan, the question that came up
just a second ago, our open space area is actually even larger, that is kind of the area that has a lot of the
existing trees and it is not really suitable for that area. And, so if there was going to be an additional
septic field it would be down there just below the roundabout. For now, we have checked the capacity,
we have worked with Armstrong, but we feel like we have a superior plan to what it was before. With
that, I will reserve any time for questions.
