I have been a resident of Milton for five years, and I
have always felt proud to say, "I live in Milton". I
always tell people Milton is one of the few remaining
suburbs of Atlanta where you can still find houses on
large lots. I mention the beautiful horse farms, and
the open spaces with houses far enough apart to
have some distance between you and your
neighbors.
If you allow the conservation subdivision ordinance to
pass, the look and feel of Milton will change forever.
The look and feel of Milton will no longer be rural.
You will see houses on ,~acre lots, and the structures
will be very close to one another. I understand the
ordinance will allow interior lines as tight as 1Oft, and
rear setbacks as close as 20ft. You are proposing to
allow a cluster of homes to be put in a small space,
and this is unacceptable for existing landowners who
will have to see the cluster of homes every day. There
is not enough of a buffer protecting adjacent
landowners, and you are proposing trails can be in
the buffer. Nothing should be allowed in the buffer.
Otherwise, you have NO buffer. I don't want high
density housing only 50ft from my property line, or a
trail lining the boundaries of my property.
The reason we moved to Milton, is for the wide open
spaces and we didn't expect to ever see a cluster of
homes anywhere in Milton. The Planning Commission
has denied the CSO idea three times, and I applaud
them for looking out for the citizens of Milton.
The proposed changes to the AG-1 are also
disturbing. One example of a concern -the
proposed standards would require AG-1 landowners
to donate land via a permanent conservation
easement to the City, including having to pay for the
initial legal fees, as well as the annual fees to keep an
easement in perpetuity via a formal land trust. It is
unreasonable and unacceptable to force this on
landowners. This alone will force many people to
move out of Milton, and will discourage anyone from
moving into Milton.
I am very disappointed the city of Milton is proposing
the CSO and changes to AG-1 standards, and it will
be a very sad day for Milton residents if these
changes are allowed to happen. Thank you for
taking the time to read my comments.

Ms. May has asked to have her letter
read into the record this evening:
I strongly oppose the CSO! As currently
proposed, I think it would be a loophole
for developers to destroy our rural farm
community. I love driving down our
roads on my way home from work,
passing horses grazing in open fields,
surrounded by forest and spotting just a
single home in the distance. That is the
image of Milton we all love and should
strive to preserve. We do not want to
see apartments or condos springing up
along our roads, and we do not want
more traffic! I think we should go even
further and require no more than 1
single family home per 5 or even 10
acres! And (jokingly), if we could require
them to own a horse, that would be just
perfect! There are some areas that are
already densely developed, and those
are sufficient to allow diversity in
housing types. Leave the AG 1 land
alone!

Preserve Rural Milton has been and continues to
support conservation subdivisions as one of
many tools needed in the city to preserve the
rural character of the city as well as to help
address the environmental problems associated
with increased number of homes in the area.
Many other communities across the country
have used this tool successfully to address loss of
open space in their cities. These communities
decided that loss of open land and land
conservation are priorities for their city.
Our survey in the spring of this year of 500
residents indicated that a strong majority also
want the city to prioritize land conservation.
There are not just a few loud people who want
the city to make changes in development
patterns. We had over 1600 people sign our first
petition in January of 2014 which addressed the
need for change in zoning and development
regulations. At this point, we have over 1500
followers now on Facebook in comparison the
City of Milton which has 3900 followers.
Page 1 of 5
We receive financial donations regularly to
support our efforts. The majority of the
community does not understand the concept
of a conservation subdivision or why
it is part of the conservation tools that the
mayor is supporting through his Legacy Milton
Program. However, I am confident they
recognize there are huge problems with the
lack of action and planning on the city's behalf.
I also would like to point out that in every zoning
question that comes before the council, the
majority of residents who show up are a loud
minority of opponents of the vote. The fact is
the remainder of the community is passively
supportive. It is up to the council to make wise
judgments on the big picture understanding of
what is best for the City.
For too long, the politicians and community
have believed that retaining AG-1 zoning with
no public sewer has protected us from loss of
rural character. Using the AG-1 zoning has
protected Milton somewhat from high density
and even medium density housing, but it has
NOT helped us retain the mission of the charter
which is "to preserve the rural character and
Page 2 of 5
small town lifestyle." It has also not helped us
maintain any sort of balance between
development and retention of rural character
as stated in the City Comprehensive Land use
Plan. The predictable outcome of retaining
AG-1 zoning with little additional development
regulations to land use is one acre lots
throughout the city. We are headed very
quickly toward becoming a large HOA
consisting of one acre lots. Subdivision and infill
development are eating up land at the rate of
hundreds of acres a year. I do not believe that
when the city was formed ANYONE had this
goal in mind, but this is what we are headed
toward at a rapid pace. We are literally living
the unintended consequences of the fallacy
that AG 1 zoning will help us meet the mission of
the preservation of rural character and small
town atmosphere. The problem has been and
continues to be far too much emphasis has
been placed on density of homes instead of
how to preserve our small town lifestyle, pastoral
views, and horse farms. Without open land
conservation, these goals are not possible.
Page 3 of 5
The city losses due to development are
immense: loss of open land, tree canopy,
increased traffic, crowded schools, loss of
wildlife habitat, horses, the equestrian
community, quality of life and the identity of the
city as a beautiful and special place. A city full
of one lot residences is nothing special.
A conservation subdivision option is the only
way to allow development to continue and
have at least the ability to retain open land and
have greater respect for the environment. There
are other land conservation methods to reduce
the number of homes such as purchasing
conservation easements on property and
utilizing a TDR bank program. These reduce the
number of homes and promote open space.
However, over the past two years, the city has
been extremely slow to develop ANY plan or to
effectively utilize these methods. In the
meantime we have 65 new subdivisions, with
hundreds if not thousands of new homes in the
planning stages. Once land is developed, it is
GONE. FOREVER.
Page 4 ofS
Fear has kept our community from· embracing
the tools that are available and have been
used effectively by many other communities.
Conservation subdivisions are one of the tools
that is available to us. As in every action taken,
the passing of a legislation means we have to
take risks and that there may be unintended
consequences. However, that does not mean
we should be paralyzed from proactive
planning or active intervention if it is needed.
Leading business and government leaders know
that every decision requires taking calculated
risks and risk mitigation.
As Franklin Roosevelt stated so wisely, "We have
nothing to fear but fear itself."

We applaud the efforts of the city of Milton to work
towards a conservation subdivision ordinance. A
conservation subdivision is very much in keeping with
the beautiful rural look of the Milton area and
forward thinking in terms of preserving natural
resources.
Milton today looks very different than the Milton of 20
years ago. Change is inevitable. And we must be
realistic and work together towards sustainable and
environmentally sound growth and development.
The intent of the conservation subdivision ordinance
is to protect our natural resources, our creeks,
streams, lakes, trees, soil as well as property values.
We recently received an email from a Milton
constituent who suggests undue alarm over the
proposed CSO. There are many disturbing
assumptions and misleading statements that this
letter promulgates. Here are some thoughts
provoked by the email.
1) Rights of land ownership -Possession, Control,
Enjoyment, Exclusion, and Disposition. The idea
that buildable land should be acquiesced or
"conserved" is contrary to the Bill of Rights. Land
cannot be taken from an owner without
payment. What rights do current owners have to
make to make dictates or requirements on the
property of other land owners with regard to
"viewable greenspace"? If it is suggested that
vacant land be turned over to become deeded
greenspace, consider the suggestion of taking
away 1~ to 1 /3 of every home's property to
become part of it's neighborhood's greenbelt.
Current residents do not have an inherent right to
preserve a setting, where it impacts another land
owner's rights to use their property to it's highest
and best use, as long as it is without detriment to
their neighbor's rights of ownership.
2) Public Input-this concept has been on the table
for almost a year. There have been numerous
public input sessions and work sessions. For every
objection that has been laid out, there are
solutions. The council has heard from renowned
experts in the field of conservation and from
waste water engineers. We cannot keep
delaying the inevitable.
3) Density Neutral -the intent of the ordinance is
not to bring more density. It is to preserve and
protect natural resources -to avoid mass clear
cutting of land, and work more in tandem with
topography, allowing smaller lots, in some
instances, so as to preserve mature trees, streams
and other bodies of water.
4) Percolation --It goes without saying that homes
cannot be built without proper percolation.
There are already safeguards built into the zoning
process to control the adequacy of a site for
water and waste.
5) Waste Water --Sewer and Shared Septic are
better solutions for the environment. Right now,
there is no regulation of individual tanks and
drain fields. Down the road, this could be very
detrimental to water quality in Milton. Shared
septic is already in place in other municipalities.
It operates no differently than an HOA, as money
for maintenance of the system is collected and
allocated as needed for repa1rs and
maintenance. Perhaps the costs of shared septic
are actually less than individual ownership as
shared systems are professionally managed and
maintained.
6) Traffic --If an ordinance such as this is not
created, developers will simply bypass the city of
Milton for areas further out, where it is easier and
more cost effective to build. Rather than
building our own community and tax basin, we
will just sacrifice our community to become a
thoroughfare. We will have more traffic, yet it
won't be because of our own constituents.
7) Cost of housing in Milton--Because of the lack of
sewer in Milton, land prices have become very
costly, which is in direct correlation to housing
prices. Milton is losing its middle class. If the intent
is to build a homogenous, wealthy area, with no
diversity, we are on the road to that end result by
not giving developers options to the current
zon1ng.
There are some that would like to thwart all growth at
any cost. They are the naysayers and will look for the
kinks in every system. They will sit on the sidelines and
criticize and incite rebellion at every step rather than
work in tandem and synchronicity with positive, smart
growth.
In sum, we cannot allow the baby to be thrown out
with the bathwater. For every objection that has
been put forth, there are solutions, as long as we
remain reasonable and keep a mindset towards
sustainability, the environment and the current
homeowner and community needs.

I am strongly opposed to the CSO ordinance. This
ordinance is government overreach. I can see no
benefit for pushing this through except that the City
hopes it will be passed before most residents
understand what is happening to their land and the
land surrounding them.
According to the local newspaper, this ordinance
was on hold. However, I understand that this is being
fast tracked. It does not appear that this ordinance
has anything to do with preserving green space at
all. Perhaps "Milton Goes Green" is about the Green
bucks the city will collect from this ordinance rather
than the rural community it will preserve. The current
landowners should NOT be required to donate a
portion of their land, have to pay legal fees for it and
annual assessment fees. This is outrageous. The
homeowners have already paid for their land and
pay taxes on it each year. This CSO ordinance will
increase density, rather than saving our beautiful
land. The proper soil tests are not set in place to pass
this ordinance. I am opposed to the CSO as it reads.

As a member of Milton Grows Green, I know this organization has done
more then just pay lip service to conservation.
Our Meetings are public. The CSO has been on the agenda more times then
I can remember. I believe the Planning Commission was aware from early
on, a CSO was something we were very interested in. So to say that we
somehow act outside the standards of transparency is ridiculous. To also
call our request to discuss our findings in a public meeting an "11th hour
end run" doesn't fit and is insulting. Perhaps the only thing that you may
not have known is that we would actually come up with something
tangible.
With regards to the CSO, our process has always been to examine public
comments, objections and multiple CSO drafts and to offer suggestions that
achieve the goals only a CSO has the potential to deliver. This process has
involved workshops, multiple discussions with the City's Consultants,
Community Development Dept. and our own legal council. The purpose in
bringing our efforts before the City Council and Planning Commission
tonight is precisely to make these findings transparent and to offer what
we think could be workable answers. Solutions can only come when those
with an expressed interest, who have spent considerable time studying
examples of what works, have an opportunity to contribute to a rational
dialogue without being shut down. The term "shut down" here refers to
what I see as an orchestrated campaign of disinformation and political
hype from those who opposed the ordinance and whose the sole purpose is
to silence any meaningful dialogue.
With regards to Milton not being a good candidate for a CSO, minimal
land disturbance is what any CSO should strive for. Having sewer at this
point in time would be an advantage but it doesn't mean that CSOs across
the country, where, like Milton, there isn't any sewer, these communities
haven't been successful in implementing one. In 2015, the National
Association of Home Builders awarded a CSO, Willowsford in P A, as 11Best
in American Living." 50 % of its open space has been preserved. I have not
heard one significant reason as to why Milton can't do something
significant going forward with what little open space is left.
This is too important. It should be a reasoned dialogue and not dissolve
into a political takedown.
