Barnett 112 Slide Court Milton, GA 30004 1 would like Judy Burds to read my statement, below, in opposition to the application for a festival event permit and 9 variances for 850 Hickory Flat Road. I am a civil litigation attorney and I will be in a deposition in downtown Atlanta that will continue fate into the evening on Monday, June 18"'. Otherwise, I would be there in person to deliver my statement, as I feel strongly about this issue. Our family lives roughly 1500 feet from the proposed event venue. As with many Milton residents, we have young children and we all love to play and relax outside. We moved to Milton from East Cobb about six years ago simply because of the quiet "out in the country" feel of Milton. Since we have moved, we have unfortunately seen a push to make Milton Like East Cobb or John's Creek. Now, Milton sees neighborhood after neighborhood going up and traffic becoming a problem. I used to look forward to the drive home from work through the horse farms. Now, I wonder how long it will take me to get through the Fines at certain stop signs. These, and other, problems only become magnified when you put a 300 person music venue, with alcohol, high decibel levels allowed, roughly every weekend (I believe it was stated, "up to 48 events per year") in an otherwise quiet city. I understand that a higher decibel level (85) has been requested. That should be the first red flag for any such venue in Milton. Again, this is Milton (quiet horse farm w/ few neighborhoods and a "country feel").. We, like most others, pay a premium to live in Milton. We paid that premium to be far away from such events and such noise. I request the City Council deny this application as it is yet another step towards losing Milton. But it does even more than that; it also creates Public Safety concerns. The narrow, curvy roads with limited to no shoulders in Northwest Milton create a heightened risk when driven at dark by people that are not familiar with the roads and intersections. These roads are not designed for safe, high volume traffic. Add the potential for alcohol consumption, at a high volume event, prior to driving and the risk is even higher. Again, this is not East Cobb or John's Creek. This is Milton; it is unique and special. Please don't ignore and throw away the reasons most of us, certainly our family, moved out here. Steven M.
