Executive Summary: The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that all firefighters wear Nomex uniforms, which provides an additional level of protection for firefighters. Fire Department uniforms are custom fit and embroidered with the employee’s name and fire department patch. To ensure quality and uniformity of appearance while displaying a professional image among our firefighters and with the public, it is useful to contract with a vendor who is able to provide a combination of customer service, price and consistency. This ensures that our firefighter’s uniforms are consistent from year to year and that we are not forced to constantly renegotiate the terms of service. A competitive bid process was conducted and T & T Uniforms Inc. was selected as the lowest bidder. . Funding and Fiscal Impact: The purchase of uniforms is a regular and necessary maintenance and operating line item for this expense and is included in the FY 2014 budget for the Fire Department. This contract would not obligate any further expense for the City of Milton, but instead ensures that the Department gets the best service, price and quality for the funding already earmarked for this purpose. The contract in question allows for a 2.5% inflation increase after the first year. This agreement will automatically renew on January 1, 2015 and on January 1 of each year thereafter. This agreement will terminate on December 31, 2018. Alternatives: The department may continue to purchase uniforms on an ad hoc basis from various suppliers. However, this is not an optimal arrangement because it would greatly increase the time administrative staff spends in the procurement process and may hinder achieving consistency of uniforms within the Fire Department.

Executive Summary: The City has had a practice of allowing employees to carry a small negative balance of sick leave immediately following an illness, injury or surgery. Adding bullet 4 below will clarify the policy and discontinue this practice. From page 13 of the Compensation and Benefits Chapter. Section 4: Sick Leave (a) Eligibility It is the policy of the City to provide sick leave with pay for eligible employees. Sick leave is a privilege and may be used only when an employee or member of an employee’s family is incapacitated due to personal illness or injury or has a medical/dental appointment. 1. Regular full-time, police and fire shift employees, and regular part-time employees are deemed eligible employees for sick leave purposes; 2.

Georgia Crime Information Center (GCIC) Crimin al Justice Information System Service Agreement This Agreement between the Milton Police Department and the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety formally establishes the requirements for requesting criminal history record information (CHRI) and other information available via Georgia's Criminal Justice Information System network (CJIS), the National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (NLETS), or the National Crime Information System (NCIC). It establishes how record entries, modifications, supplemental record entries, record locates, clearances and cancellations will be accomplished. It also establishes individual agency responsibilities for confirming all requests for "HIT" confir mations and validating record entries. Requesting Criminal History Record Information In accordance with federal regulations, NCIC policy and the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety User's Agreement, all requests for CHRI are made using a criminal justice agency Originating Agency Identifier (ORI). When a criminal justice agency requests CHRI for the administration of criminal justice (PUR/ C), that agency shall provide a warrant number, case number, citation number, "EF" number, arrest/booking number, system record number, docket number or other significant number leading to the case file or investigation. Failure to provide such a required number shall result in denial of the request and notification to the GCIC Chief of Staff of a potential violation of O.C.G.A. §16-9-90. When a criminal justice agency requests CHRI for criminal justice employment (PUR/J) or other authorized purposes (PUR/E, M, N, W), that agency shall provide a copy of the fingerprint card or the signed consent form. Failure to provide either document shall result in the denial of the request and notification to the GCIC Chief of Staff of a potential violation of O.C.G.A. §16-9-90. Req uesting Vehicle Registration/Title, Driver History and Other Information via the CJIS Network, NLETS or NCIC All requests for information received over the law enforcement radio network(s) monitored by Alpha retta Department of Public Safety shall be honored and the requested information shall be provided as soon as possible. If the requesting officer, prior to the end of the shift on which it was requested, does not claim hard copies of the terminal printouts, the printouts shall be shredded. Telephonic requests shall be honored if the operator can identify the person making the request. If the operator is unsure of the requester, the operator shall ask the requester to provide their agency's ORI then telephone that agency to ensure the requester is authorized to receive said information. If the person is authorized to receive the information, the operator shall make the request using the ORI of the Milton Police Department. If the person is not authorized to receive the information, the operator will not request the information and will notify his or her supervisor. The supervisor shall be responsible for notifying the GCIC Chief of Staff of a potential security violation. Making Record Entries, Modifications and Supplemental Record Entries The ORI of the Milton Police Department shall be used to make all requested record entries when it receives a warrant or a complete incident report from the Milton Police Department. The only exception to this requirement is when the Milton Police Department requests the entry of a missing juvenile, a fleeing felon, fe lony vehicle or a missing Page 2 of 3 ALZHEIMER'S afflicted adult. Requests for these types of entries shall be accepted telephonically. Supporting documentation shall be faxed or delivered as soon as it is available. If the supporting documentation is not received within 48 hours, the record entry(s) shall be canceled. The Alpharetta Department of Public Safety shall use the warrant or complete incident report to code the GCIC/NCIC worksheet prior to entering the record. The Alpharetta Department of Public Safety for wanted and missing person record entries shall inquire against the GCIC and NCIC criminal history files (using the ORI of the Milton Police Department). The Milton Police Department shall indicate the limits of extradition and charge type on the face of the warrant. All additional personal descriptors shal l be added to the GCIC/NCIC worksheet and included in the record entry or added to the record entry using the Supplemental Record Entry format.

The record will only be modified, cleared or canceled when the supplemental report has been received. The original terminal printouts shall be retained in the files of the Alpharetta Departm ent of Public Safety. Requesting H I T Confirmation When the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety receives a "HIT" on a record inquired upon as the result of a request from the Milton Police Department, a request for "HIT" confirmation message (YQ format) shall be sent. The Milton Police Department must inform the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety if the request is PRIORITY (10 minute response] or ROUTINE (one hour response). As soon as this information is received, the request for "HIT" confirmation shall be transmitted using the ORI of the Milton Police Department. As soon as the response to the request for "HIT" confirmation is received, it shall be transmitted to the officer. Responding to Requests for "HIT" Confirmation When the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety receives a request for "HIT" confirmation, the on-duty operator shall locate the active file and compare all data elements against the data in the YQ message. If all data elements match, the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety shall respond to the YQ message using a YR message entered using the ORI of the Milton Police Department and confirm that the record inquired on is a valid record entry based upon the records maintained by the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety. The Milton Police Department shall be notified that the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety has confirmed a "HIT" on one of its record entries.

Executive Summary: The City of Milton has no maintenance facilities for the fleet of police, fire, and general administrative vehicles. After a thorough Request for Proposal and vetting process (13-CM02), North Fulton Express, LLC (hereinafter “Express Oil Change”) were settled on as one of Milton’s providers, specifically for oil changes, routine maintenance, and other minor services. This contract establishes a contractual relationship with Express Oil Change that aligns with the calendar year and carries a three year renewal with the contracted terms. This contract will not involve fire apparatus which are serviced by a specialty vendor. Funding and Fiscal Impact: The funding for this project is anticipated in the City of Milton’s annual budget as the already established vehicle maintenance line item(s) in each departments’ portion of the budget. As such, this contract in and of itself represents no additional financial expense beyond what has already been budgeted. Alternatives: There are no reasonable alternatives for a city Milton’s size.

Initial Classification of Proposals as Responsive or Nonresponsive. Proposals may be found nonresponsive at any time during the evaluation process or contract negotiation, if any of the required information is not provided; the submitted price is found to be excessive or inadequate as measured by criteria stated in the RFP; or the proposal is not within the specifications described and required in the RFP. If a proposal is found to be nonresponsive, it will not be considered further. 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 Proposals. The evaluation committee will evaluate the remaining proposals and recommend whether to award the contract to the highest scoring offeror or, if necessary, to seek discussion/negotiation or a best and final offer in order to determine the highest scoring offeror. All responsive proposals 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 RFP responses in terms of differing price, quality, and contractual factors. These scores will be used to determine the most advantageous offering to the City. D. Completeness of Proposals. Selection and award will be based on the offeror's proposal and other items outlined in this RFP. 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 discuss ion/negotiation or "best and final offer," if requested, 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. 12 1 RFP 13-CM02a After receipt of all proposals and prior to the determination of the award, the City may initiate discussions with one or more offerors should clarification or negotiation be necessary.

In either case, offerors should be prepared to send qualified personnel to Milton, Georgia to discuss technical and contractual aspects of the proposal. Oral presentations and product demonstrations, if requested, shall be at the offeror's expense. F. Best and Final Offer. The "Best and Final Offer" is an option available to the City under the RFP process which permits the City to request a "best and final offer" from one or more offerors if additional information is required to make a final decision. Offerors may be contacted asking that they submit their "best and final offer," which must include any and all discussed and/or negotiated changes. The City reserves the right to request a "best and final offer" for this RFP, if any, based on price/cost alone. G. Evaluation Committee Recommendation for Contract Award.

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. I. Contract Negotiation. The procurement officer and/or city department representatives may begin contract negotiation with the responsive and responsible offeror whose proposal 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. J. Contract Award. Contract award, if any, will be made to the highest scoring offeror(s) 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 RFP, issuance of the RFP in no way constitutes a commitment by the City of Milton to award and execute a contract.

Review of undeveloped land values in City if Milton, particularly in the Deerfield and Crabapple areas, along with adjoining cities. 2. Review of current list and recent selling prices for townhouses and condos in the City of Milton. 3. Comparison of these values to the ideal ratio of TDR values to them, to wit: a. TDR cost is ideally around 5% of the value of a bonus residential unit (and definitely under 10%). b. TDR cost should be less than cost of similarly zoned land on a per buildable unit basis. 4. Review of commercial land values to verify the formula for bonus sf of commercial space (FAR). Ideally bonus buildable FAR (in sf) should require TDRs that cost roughly half of the additional land cost that would be incurred without a TDR. 5. All results presented with supporting tables and guidance on the range of values under which the stated values for selling TDRs will remain valid. In particular, past successful TDR programs will be referenced to support the guidance on ranges and percentages mentioned in the above tasks (3) and (4). 14 CERTIFICATE OF LIABILITY INSURANCE DATE(NMlDDM/YY) THIS CERTIFICATE IS ISSUED AS A MATTER OF INFORMATION ONLY AND CONFERS NO RIGHTS UPON THE CERTIFICATE HOLDER.

Executive Summary: The attached ordinance amends our current plan on three key points: 1) Closes the plan to employees hired on or after July 1, 2014; 2) Clarifies the retirement age and service requirements for the City Manager; 3) Changes the actuarial table for retirement before the age of 65 from 5% per year to 3% per year. Funding and Fiscal Impact: Funding requirements for employees in the defined benefit plan will remain unchanged. Changing the actuarial tables is an additional expense of .86% of covered payroll or approximately $57,000 per year. Alternatives: Other council directed action.

No more than one (1) exit/entrance on the west side of Birmingham Highway. Curb cut location and alignment are subject to the approval of the Fulton County Traffic Engineer. History and Background The subject site was rezoned from C-1 (Community Business) and M-1 (Manufacturing) to MIX (Mixed Use) on November 3, 2004 by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners. This site is one corner of three corners of the Birmingham Crossroads that was zoned pursuant to RZ04-116 (subject site) and RZ04-43 (northeast and southeast corners zoned C-1 Conditional). The final conditions approved for all three quadrants were derived from numerous meetings between the original developer, AG Armstrong and the community using the Birmingham Crossroads Plan (Amending the 2015 North Fulton Comprehensive Plan) which was approved by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners on March 3, 2004. In addition, the Birmingham Crossroads of the Northwest Fulton Overlay District was approved on March 3, 2004. This newly created overlay also guided the ultimate outcome of what was approved for the three quadrants of Birmingham Crossroads. The central premise of both the Plan and the Overlay was that the Birmingham Crossroads should be a neighborhood node consisting of 27.1 acres which at that time recommended up to 100,000 square feet of commercial uses, up to 100,000 square feet of office uses, and up to five (5) residential units per acre. Page 8 of 15 ZM14-03 - Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on June 16, 2014 (First Presentation June 2, 2014) Since the time of the rezoning in 2004, the northeast and southwest quadrants have been developed as approved. The southeast quadrant has remained undeveloped other than the existing structures on the 22.3 acres. The applicant has submitted a site plan that proposes to reduce the approved density for the office, commercial retail, and eliminate the day care facility along Birmingham Road. They are proposing to replace some of the townhouse units previously developed with single family detached homes. In addition, the applicant has indicated that they will develop the property, but will seek a homebuilder to build the residential portion and market the non-residential portion for future development. Staff has included the original approved zoning conditions pursuant to RZ04-116 at the end of the report for reference and background. CZIM Meeting – May 27, 2014 The applicants were present at the meeting as well as nine members of the community. They voiced the following concerns and issues regarding the proposed development: 1. What will be the design of the homes on the site? There should be specific types of designs and elevations for the development and these should be included in the conditions of zoning. 2. Wanted to ensure that the higher-density residential and non-residential be conditioned to the approximate 6.6 acres and not “spill” into the AG-1 property to the south or east. 3. Suggested a more “rural” feel to the street pattern with granite curbing, gas lights, and an organic pattern to the landscaping. 4. Asked that an internal pedestrian path system be provided that connects with Birmingham Highway and Birmingham Road for subsequent connection to Birmingham Park to the northwest. Analysis and Recommendation Staff will review and make recommendations for each request individually. 1. To the owners agreement to restrict the use of the subject property as follows: c. No more than 33 townhouse and/or single family dwelling units on 6.63 acres within the Southeast Quadrant of the Birmingham Neighborhood Node at a maximum density of 4.98 units per acre, whichever is less. Above described acreage shall be zoned MIX (Mixed Use) Conditional. Staff is in support of the above request to include single family dwelling units in the development within the 6.63 acres. The MIX (Mixed Use) zoning district allows the applicant to dictate the development s tandards for the site. The proposed site plan indicates the single family detached lots are at a minimum of 40 feet wide. The applicant is also indicating that the side setbacks will be 5 feet for a total separation of 10 feet between homes. It is Staff’s opinion that a 30 foot wide home will not provide sufficient Page 9 of 15 ZM14-03 - Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on June 16, 2014 (First Presentation June 2, 2014) width to build a house that is in character with the area. The site plan does indicate that all the residential units will be a rear loaded product with driveways accessed from the proposed alley ways and will be included in the Recommended Conditions. The applicant has not provided specific elevations associated with the lots to ensure that the overall character for Birmingham Crossroads will be achieved. Staff will include a condition that require that prior to the issuance of a building permit, the City Architect will review the elevations for 360 degree architecture and consistency with the Characteristics of Northwest Fulton Crossroads communities (soon to be called the Characteristics of Rural Milton Overlay). The existing condition, 1.f. requires a minimum heated floor area of 1,500 square feet per dwelling unit. Staff recommends the following development standards for the single family detached lots be included in the Recommended Conditions: Front Yard Setback: 10 feet Side Yard Setback: 5 feet Rear Yard Setback: 10 feet Minimum Lot Width for detached dwellings: 50 feet Minimum Lot Frontage: 35 feet Height: There shall be a maximum height limit of two stories with the maximum height of 28 feet from average finished grade to the bottom of the roof eave. Units shall be rear entry access via alley ways Staff recommends the following development standards for the proposed townhouses be included in the Recommended Conditions: Front Yard Setback: 10 feet Rear Yard Setback: 10 feet Height: There shall be a maximum height limit of two stories with the maximum height of 28 feet from average finished grade to the bottom of the roof eave. A minimum of 80% of common wall shall be contiguous with each adjoining unit. Units shall be rear entry access via alley ways Based on the above analysis, Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL to modify Condition 1.c. with the above stated conditions. 1. To the owners agreement to restrict the use of the subjec t property as follows: d. A 10,000 square foot day care facility on 6.63 acres within the Southeast Quadrant of the Birmingham Neighborhood Node at a maximum density of 1,508.3 gross feet per acre zoned. Above described acreage shall be zoned MIX (Mixed Use Conditional. Page 10 of 15 ZM14-03 - Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on June 16, 2014 (First Presentation June 2, 2014) The applicant is requesting to delete the required 10,000 square foot day care facility as described above. The revised site plan indicates a 5,300 square foot commercial building which appears to be one story in height. In addition, Staff notes that although all the non- residential buildings indicate commercial, there is a note on the site plan received on May 7, 2014 stating “Commercial to be a mix of office, restaurant and retail, total square footage not to exceed the amount noted in zoning condition 1.a.” Staff is in support of this request based on the fact that the proposed day care facility did not appear to be developed with the required development standards including a lack of parking within the development. Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL to delete Condition 1.d. 2. To the owner’s agreement to abide by the following: a. To the revised site plan dated May 7, 2014 October 28, 2004 (Petitions 2004Z-0116 NFC and 2004Z-0043 combined) submitted to the Department of Environment and Community Development. Said site plan is conceptual only and must meet or exceed the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance Resolution and these conditions prior to the approval of a Land Disturbance Permit. Unless otherwise noted herein, compliance with all conditions shall be in place prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy. The applicant is proposing to replace the 2004 site plan with the revised site plan submitted on May 7, 2014. After analyzing the approved site plan from 2004, it appears that there was not enough space to provide the required parking for the proposed density and mix of uses and it was unrealistic to see it developed as depicted. The intent of the rezoning in 2004 was to create a mixed use village that was consistent with the Birmingham Crossroads Plan and the Birmingham Crossroads Overlay District. Since that time, the northeast and southwest corners have been developed with non - residential uses. The subject site is zoned MIX (Mixed Use) with approximately 6.63 acres and the remainder is AG-1 (Agricultural). Within the 6.63 acres the applicant is proposing to allow single family detached homes in addition to the townhomes as well as decreasing the amount of non-residential. It is Staff’s opinion to insure that the overall intent of a village is realized, that the residential portion of the site be developed concurrently with the non-residential. Therefore, Staff is recommending that a condition be included stating the following: At the time of the eleventh (11) residential building permit located on the MIX (Mixed Use) portion of the development, building permits shall be issued for the four non-residential buildings depicted on the site plan submitted on May 7, 2014. At the time the 21st residential building permit is issued, Certificates of Occupancy shall be issued for the shells of the four non-residential buildings depicted on the site plan submitted on May 7, 2014. Page 11 of 15 ZM14-03 - Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on June 16, 2014 (First Presentation June 2, 2014) The site plan submitted on May 7, 2014 identified as “open space area, future commercial” along Birmingham Road, is inconsistent with the original site plan and Plan Policy of the Birmingham Crossroads Plan that requires a village green in the southeast and northeast quadrants. The village green is recommended to be at least 50 feet wide and 13,000 square feet in area. Therefore, Staff will include a condition that this area remains a village green as described above. The Birmingham Crossroads Plan also stated that Birmingham Crossroads will be pedestrian oriented and encouraged for pedestrian and bicycle connections to the Birmingham Park. The site plan does not indicate internal paths that would ultimately provide accessibility to Birmingham Park via the frontage on the west side of Birmingham Hwy north of Hickory Flat Road. Therefore, Staff will include a condition to include an internal path within the entire development including the AG-1 portion. 3. To the owner’s agreement to the following site development considerations for townhouse units: c. To require conformance with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) requirements. No more than one (1) exit/entrance on the west side of Birmingham Highway. Curb cut location and alignment are subject to the approval of the Fulton County Traffic Engineer. The Public Works Department is in support of this request. Additional conditions are also included in the Recommended Conditions as they pertain to traffic improvements for the site. Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL to revise Condition 3.c.

Prior to submitting the application for an LDP, the developer/engineer shall contact the Public Works Department, Water Services Division, and arrange to meet on-site with an engineer from the Surface Water Management Program (SWMP), who is responsible for review of Storm Water Concept Plan submittals. Prior to submitting the application for an LDP, the developer and/or engineer shall submit to the SWMP, through the Development Review Division, a project Storm Water Concept Plan. This concept plan shall indicate the preliminary location of the storm water management facilities intended to manage the quality and quantity of storm water. The concept plan shall specifically address the existing downstream oft -site drainage conveyance system(s) that the proposed development surface runoff will impact, and the discharge path(s) from the outlet of the storm water management facilities to the off-site drainage system(s) and/or appropriate receiving waters. As part of the Storm Water Concept Plan submittal, a preliminary capacity analysis shall be performed by the engineer on the off-site drainage system(s) points of constraint. The capacity analysis shall determine the capacity of all existing constraint points, such as pipes, culverts, etc. from the point of storm water discharge at the proposed development site boundary downstream to the confluence of the receiving drainage course at a point where the drainage area is at least ten times the proposed development site area and the next downstream drainage area having a drainage area of fifty acres or more. The critical capacity points shall be selected based upon the engineer's field observation, professional judgment and limited field survey data. The analysis shall identify the downstream properties pre and post -development 100 -year water surface elevations, and for any post -development water surface elevation increase exceeding 0.05 feet, the developer shall acquire the applicable offsite drainage easement to accommodate the 100 -year storm flow through impacted properties where Fulton County has completed a model of the basin, it shall be used by the developer in the analyses. Where storm water currently drains by sheet flow and it is proposed to be collected to and/or discharged at a point, such that the discharge from the storm water management facility outlet crosses a property line, such discharge shall mimic pre -development sheet flow conditions. A description of the method proposed to achieve post -development sheet flow conditions shall be provided as part of the Storm Water Concept Plan. Should the method to achieve sheet flow across an external property line be unsuccessful, the developer shall acquire an easement(s) from the point of discharge to a point down gradient at a live dry weather stream sufficient to contain the 25 year storm flow or other location as approved by the Director of Public Works. This condition will not apply when the storm water management facility is designed and approved to discharge directly to a stream or watercourse. REGULAR MEETING, NOVEMBER 3, 2004 90 A draft of the Inspection and Maintenance Agreement required by Fulton County Code Section 26-278 shall be submitted to the Department of Public Works with the Storm Water Concept Plan. g. The Inspection and Maintenance Agreement shall provide that all storm water management/detention facility outlet control structures shall be inspected, photographed and cleaned, if necessary, on a monthly basis, by the owner. The Inspection and Maintenance Agreement shall require that the design engineer shall prepare an operation and maintenance guidance document, for use by the owner and/or any professionals retained by the owner, to plainly describe the basic operational function of the facility(ies), including a description of a permanent marker post(s) which shall indicate that the level of sediment which, if exceeded, requires sediment removal. The Inspection and Maintenance Agreement shall require an annual operation and maintenance report for all storm water management/detention facilities be prepared by a licensed design professional and submitted to the SWMP. The annual report shall include monthly inspections, photographs, and documentation of the cleaning of storm water management/detention facilities outlet control structure(s) as well as an operational assessment of the facilities indicating that they do, or do not, function as described in the design guidance document (described above), and if they do not, a description of the specific actions to be taken to allow the facilities to function as intended. h. The required Inspection and Maintenance Agreement shall be recorded with the Clerk of Superior Court prior to issuance of an LDP, Grading Permit or Building Permit associated with the development. The engineer/developer is required to submit, along with the application for an LDP, signed documentation verifying approval of the Storm Water Concept Plan. Where paved parking areas (including access aisles) are proposed to exceed 5,000 square feet, the storm water management facilities shall be designed to reduce pollutants such as oil, grease and other automobile fluids that may leak from vehicles. A general description, or concept, of the storm water management facilities proposed to achieve the removal of such pollutants shall be submitted with the Storm Water Concept Plan. A detailed design of such facilities shall be included in applicable documents for a land disturbance permit. k. With the application for an LDP, provide documentation (such as channel cross- sections, centerline profile, etc.) describing the geometry of those existing natural streams, creeks, or draws within the proposed development boundary which in the design engineer's judgment are at risk of erosion due to increased flow, provide a description of the basis utilized in judging areas to be at risk, and provide details on the Storm Water Management Plan of the post -development channel bank protection measures. REGULAR MEETING, NOVEMBER 3, 2004 91 The developer/engineer shall demonstrate to the County by engineering analysis submitted with the LDP application, that the discharge rate and velocity of the storm water runoff resulting from the development is restricted to seventy-five percent (75%) of the pre -development conditions for the 1 -year frequency storm event, up to and including the ten (10) -year frequency storm event. M. Drainage from all disturbed areas shall be collected and conveyed to a storm water management facility provided as part of the development. The Storm Water Concept Plan shall identify any proposed areas with incidental and minor release of water not conveyed to such facilities, subject to the approval of the Director of Public Works. Plans for any land disturbance permit shall show all proposed drainage patterns for the proposed development after its completion. Any incidental release of unmanaged or untreated storm flows from any disturbed portion of the developed property shall be allowed only with the approval of the Director of Public Works. Other minimal incidental flows specifically approved by the Director of Public Works, bypass flows will not be permitted except from undisturbed areas within a buffer or other protected easement_ Final plans shall provide for collection, conveyance and treatment of all but approved incidental flows from developed lots or parcels, individual residences or building structures. n. Storm water management facility(ies) volumes shall be designed to achieve water quality treatment, channel protection, over bank flood protection and extreme flood protection in accordance with the Georgia State Storm water Manual, except that the duration of release for water quality treatment should be 48 hours. 04-1191 PETITION #2004U 0011 FCN, KING CIRCLE — APPLICATION OF GEORGIA MEDITATION CENTER, INC., BY SHU CHIH FAN, SEEKS A USE PERMIT FOR A MEDITATION CENTER IN AN AG -1 (AGRICULTURAL) ZONING CLASSIFICATION; ALSO SEEKS A TWO- PART CONCURRENT VARIANCE (PERMITTED WITHDRAWAL) 04-1192 PETITION #2004VC 0145 FCN, KING CIRCLE - APPLICATION OF GEORGIA MEDITATION CENTER, INC., BY SHU CHIH FAN, SEEKS A USE PERMIT FOR A MEDITATION CENTER IN AN AG -1 (AGRICULTURAL) ZONING CLASSIFICATION; ALSO SEEKS A TWO- PART CONCURRENT VARIANCE (PERMITTED WITHDRAWAL) Mark Massey, Clerk to the Commission - "Page 15.

To the owners agreement to restrict the use of the subject property as follows: e. Provide at least a 100 foot building setback from the property line of the CUP (Community Unit Plan). Analysis and Recommendation The subject site is located within the Estates at Atlanta National which is zoned CUP (Community Unit Plan) pursuant to RZ85-181 and is developed with a single family residence. Within the conditions of zoning, a 100 foot setback from the property line of the CUP is required. Since the incorporation of the City, there have been five approved modification requests to reduce the 100 foot setback. The applicant is requesting to reduce the 100 foot setback to a 50 foot setback along the south property line. The purpose of the proposed reduction is to construct a hearth, gazebo, and arbor. Based on the topography, a pair of retaining walls parallel to each other for a length of approximately 130 feet creates a planter is proposed to be constructed as well. Staff notes that the adjacent property to the south is a portion of the Capital City Club and is undeveloped. There was no one in attendance at the Community Zoning Information Meeting on May 27, 2014. The proposed additions to the existing lot will not impact the entire width of the south property line, but approximately 130 feet and should only have a minimal impact to the property to the south. Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL to modify Condition 1.e. as requested.

To the owners agreement to the following site development considerations: a. The minimum design standards are: Minimum Front Yard Setback: 30 feet Analysis and Recommendation The subject site is located in Kingsley Estates which is zoned CUP (Community Unit Plan) pursuant to RZ06-70 and is developed with a single family residence. After an as built survey was completed, it was discovered that a small portion of the existing house encroached into the minimum front yard setback at 28 feet, 4 inches. Therefore, the applicant is requesting that Condition 3.a. be modified from 30 feet to 28 feet, 3 inches. There was no one in attendance at the Community Zoning Information Meeting on May 27, 2014.

Executive Summary: The Northwest Fulton Overlay District was adopted by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners in 1999 and amended in 2003. Since the incorporation of the City of Milton, there have been minor amendments but there has not been a major change to the overlay. After several petitions for Use Permits and practically applying the requirements, it was Staff’s opinion that it is time to make some major changes to the Overlay. Below are some highlights of those changes proposed by the Planning Staff: 1. Changed name to Rural Milton Overlay 2. Re-arranged the organization of the overlay: divided by type of use (Use Chart), not categories like landscaping, lighting, architecture made it easier to determine the requirements. 3. Suggested that demolition permits no longer go before the DRB as suggested by the DRB. However, the Planning Commission has requested that demolition permits remain for review by the DRB. 4. Added single-family residential under the purview of the Overlay with the following: Requires a 60 foot view shed (40 feet undisturbed and 20 feet to allow grading but no structures). Maximum percentage of lot coverage – 20% Amended height requirement to a maximum height limit of two stories with the maximum height of 28 feet from average finished grade to the bottom of the roof eave. Page 2 of 2 Staff recommended that verbiage be included to encourage barrier free design (no step entrance, one bathroom door wide enough for wheel chair, etc.) Planning Commission recommended that this request be deleted to allow the market to provide the barrier free housing when demanded. 5. Provided more flexibility in design of accessory buildings within the institutional uses, i.e. not requiring windows for gymnasiums or storage buildings for schools. Planning Commission recommended that accessory buildings remain under the same development standards as primary structures. 6. Deleted section on towers and antennas. This is already controlled by Chapter 54 Telecommunications. 7. Amended the map to reflect the area, minus Crabapple Crossroads, now under the Form Based Code. 8. Worked with the City Arborist for verbiage to better clarify what is clear cutting and timber harvesting. In addition, the Planning Commission had discussions regarding the prohibition of clear cutting. 9. Improved and added requirements for stormwater management. Funding and Fiscal Impact: None anticipated. Alternatives: The Mayor and City Council may approve the amendment as proposed and/or recommend further amendments to the Northwest Fulton Overlay District.

Characteristics of Northwest Fulton Rural Crossroads communitiesMilton Overlay. (a) The Northwest FultonRural Milton Overlay is based on the overall setting and characteristics of the rural crossroads communities in the city. In order to determine their qualities, a visual survey was conducted of Crabapple and Birmingham as well as commercial buildings in Hopewell and A rnold Mill, the main crossroads communities in the city. Commercial development in the city has been historically located in the crossroads communities that developed at the intersection of two or more roads. In these communities, commercial uses are close to the intersection, with institutional uses, such as churches and schools, next to them and residential uses extending along the roads. Large tracts of agricultural land, with rural vistas and views, border the residential areas. These crossroads communities maintain their historic integrity as well as their informal character, rural atmosphere and charm. Generally, the commercial buildings at the crossroads are oriented to the street, are close to the street and have varying setbacks (from zero to 20 feet). Buildings are grouped informally and asymmetrically to each other to form a village atmosphere. Parking is located to the side or to the rear. Landscapes and the space between the buildings are informal, asymmetrical, rural and picturesque. They avoid modern day styles that emphasize ordered plantings, over planting and often geometric placement. Informality of place provides for human scale, comfort and a welcoming atmosphere. The setting, the buildings' design and architectural details are elements that maintain the value of the communities and contribute to the sense of place in the city. More than being a place for commerce, they provide the sense of identity, RZ13-22 – Text Amendment to the NW Fulton Overlay District prepared for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on June 16, 2014 (June 2, 2014 First Presentation) Page 41 of 44 Items highlighted in gray are from the City Attorney. 5/29/20145/28/20145/27/2014 ownership, community and evolution. Many of the commercial buildings were built from the la te 1800's to the late 1930's in various types and style and have a rural and agrarian character. The buildings are generally small, one story with a square or rectangular footprint. Buildings are in scale and in proportion to each other. The principal building materials are brick and clapboard siding, however, stone is also used. The roofs are gable or hip and are made out of standing seam metal or asphalt shingles. Many of these also have a small recessed porch. Several window types are present including, double-hung sash, casement, fixed and fixed with an arch. In the double-hung sash windows, the sashes are divided into six lights over six, 4/4 and 2/2. The windows are in proportion to the building and most have a vertical orientation. The doors are usually wood paneled doors with glass in the upper half. The entryways and main façades are more articulated that the rest of the buildings. This is achieved by recessing the entrance or flanking the door with sidelights and transom lights. The buildings have limited stylistic elements. Some of the features that are present include: round and square columns, frieze board, exposed rafter ends, and triangle gable braces. (b) Crossroads communities blend with their surroundings and thus avoid abrupt beginnings and endings. Commercial buildings transition into smaller residential buildings. Uses also transition down from commercial to office and then to residential. Many residential buildings that extend along the roads are now being used for retail and office. These residential areas also share similar characteristics: they are one-story, oriented to the street, often a walkway leads from the street to the front door or from the driveway to the front door, and the driveway is perpendicular to the street. Parking is to the side or the rear. The buildings are setback ten to 40 feet from the sidewalk. In addition, wood fences, retaining walls and hedges often define the boundaries of the property. (c) The houses themselves also have similar characteristics. The principal building material is wood clapboard siding and some are made out of stone. The common roof forms are gable, cross gable and hip and are made out of standing seam metal or asphalt shingles. The houses are raised on a foundation. Most of these also have a front or wrap around porch. The majority of the windows are double -hung sash with the sashes divided into six lights over six, 3/1 9/9, 1/1 and 2/2. Some have sidelights and transom lights around the front door and fixed arched windows. (d) Several house types are present, including: hall parlor, double pen, central hallway, gable ell cottage, new south cottage, Georgian cottage, bungalow and side gable cottage. House type refers to the height of the house as well as the general layout of the interior rooms. A description and layout of each is included in this section. (e) Many of these houses do not have a high style but rather have a vernacular interpretation of a style. Style refers to the external ornamentation and the overall form of the house. In ma ny cases, style elements are associated with a certain house type. For instance, craftsman elements are present in bungalow type houses. The architectural features present in these houses, by style, are listed below and are discussed in this section.

Input regarding proposed char es to Chapter 64 Article VII Northwest Fulton Overlay (i.e. Rural Milton Overlay, Chapter 64, Article I, Section 64 1 Definitions, and Chapter 64, Artilce IX Administrative Permits and Use Permits. Dear Planning Commission members, Thank you for your individual and collective input and consideration regarding these important documents and policies. They matter to the whole of the Milton community, and are critical to the long term preservation of our unique agricultural areas that help to distinguish Milton from the whole of the Atlanta region. Your time and commitment are very appreciated. Below are comments for your review and consideration as you evaluate these three documents: 1. Chapter 64, Article VII, Northwest Fulton Overlay (RZ13.22 Earlier comments provided to you are noted below. The majority of these were discussed and addressed, but should there be more discussion on these points, here is a recap of those points made into the record: ■ Page 1. Purpose and Intent. Add value statement/language about no clear cutting. • Page 3, Design Review Board, continue to have review of demolition permits for purposes of public awareness. Increase the fines, or "teeth" available to the DRB, and engage the historic Preservation Committee in helping to ensure this is strengthened. City architect should be a part of this process. ■ Page 3. Rural view sheds to be added to the language and the DRB review process. A standard should be in place. And, a rural view shed at the road frontage, does not compromise buffers elsewhere. • Page 4. Allowed Use chart. Serious concerns with allowing otherwise non permitted uses into the rural, AG l areas of Milton. Specifically, there is concern with: a Mausoleum (size/scale are factors) a Equine garment fabrication; this could be an industrial facility under the guise of "equestrian". Textile manufacturing is not appropriate in AG 1 areas of Milton. a Quarries/Surface Miniing. Not appropriate. This is an industrial zoning. o Rural or Agricultural Event Facility; under separate section how this is defined and administered requires additional stiplulations to ensure unintended consequences are not put in motion. • Page f. No clear cutting should be allowed. • Page 8. Retaining walls. They should be of natural material. And, they should have a 360 degree view. In other words, concrete should not be viewable regardless of the angle. • Page 9. Specimen trees. Ensure more specimen trees are preserved, and that this is captured as a value statement of the city. Specimen trees should be protected and preserved other than just in the minimum front yard. This should be stated in each section of this overlay. • Page 12. Pedestrian safety section. Ensure the trail plan is incorporated and referenced herein. Specifically, not all sidewalks should be of concrete. Instead, pervious surfaces should be referenced as options. (reference in all sections). ■ Page 13.

Staff has also included the newly proposed Use Permits for Rural or Agricultural Event Facility and Artist Studio even though they are separate text amendments. Listed below are the major changes proposed in the amendment: 1. Deletion of the expiration of Use Permits 2. Included Rural Residential (RR) as it will replace the R-2 (Residential) district. 3. Amended buffer requirements for various use permits as needed. 4. Where appropriate, included the Crabapple or Deerfield/Hwy 9 Form Based Codes as required districts. 5. Within the Festivals or Events, outdoor/indoor use permit, corrected the required access for curb cuts. 6. Where applicable, included the requirement and citation of the Night Sky Illumination ordinance. Funding and Fiscal Impact: None anticipated.

Intent and findings. (a) Generally. The city council intends and finds the following: (1) It is the intent of this subdivision to regulate the place of operation of adult bookstores as defined in section 64-1. The city council finds, based upon an October, 1980, study by the Minnesota Crime Prevention Center, Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota, entitled "An Analysis of the Relationship Between Adult Entertainment Establishments, Crime, and Housing Values," that adult bookstores are significantly related to diminishing market values of n eighboring residential areas, that adult bookstores should not be located in residential areas, and that adult bookstores should be permitted only in locations that are at least one -tenth mile, or approximately 500 feet, from residential areas. (2) The city council further finds, based upon a June 1978 study by the Division of Planning of the St. Paul, Minnesota, Department of Planning and Economic Development and the Community Crime Prevention Project of the Minnesota Crime Control Planning Board entitled "Effects on Surrounding Area of Adult Entertainment Businesses in Saint Paul," that the presence of adult bookstores correlates with a decreasing market value of neighboring residential areas, that adult bookstores tend to locate in areas of poorer reside ntial condition, tend to be followed by a relative worsening of the residential condition, and that more than two adult entertainment businesses in an immediate area is associated with a statistically significant decrease in residential property market value, and that such a concentration of adult entertainment businesses in a given area should be discouraged. The board also finds that such worsening of residential conditions will adversely affect uses found in residential areas or in the proximity of residential areas, such as public recreational facilities, public or private institutional uses, churches, schools, universities, colleges, trade -schools, libraries, and day care centers. (3) The city council further finds, based upon a May 19, 1986, land use study conducted in Austin, Texas, that an adult bookstore within one block of a residential area decreases the market value of homes, that adult bookstores are considered a sign of decline by lenders, making underwriters hesitant to approve the 90 to 95 pe rcent financing many homebuyers require, and that patrons of adult bookstores tend to be from outside the immediate neighborhood in which the adult bookstore is located. (4) The city council further finds, based upon a March 3, 1986, study conducted by th e Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Community Development Department entitled "Adult Entertainment Businesses in Oklahoma City—A Survey of Real Estate Appraisers," that an adult bookstore will have a negative effect on residential property market values if it is lo cated closer than one block to residential uses. (5) The city council further finds that this section of this zoning ordinance regarding regulation of adult bookstores has been carefully considered by a workgroup of city staff drawn from the - THE CODE OF THE Chapter 64 - ZONING ARTICLE IX. - ADMINISTRATIVE PERMITS AND USE PERMITS DIVISION 4. - ADULT ENTERTAINMENT USE PERMIT STANDARDS Subdivision II. Adult Bookstore Milton, Georgia, Code of Ordinances Page 30 areas of law enforcement, land use, land planning, and law; by the planning commission at public meetings where public comment was available; and by a committee of citizens with expertise in law, real estate, land use, and other disciplines, who have reviewed this section, particularly with respect to its provisions relating to the effects of adult bookstores on market values of residential and other property, and that the information gathered and results of this informal study support the need for these development standards. (6) This subdivision is intended to be a carefully tailored regulation to minimize the adverse land use impacts caused by the undesirable secondary effects of adult bookstores, and the city council finds that restricting adult bookstores to industrially zoned areas and imposing development standards can legitimately regulate adult bookstores by establishing zones where adult bookstores are most compatible with other uses or the surrounding neighborhood, and by requiring minimum distances to be maintained between adult bookstore uses and other uses so as to afford the most protection to residential uses. (7) It is not the intent of the city council, in enacting this section, to deny to any person rights to speech protected by the United States or state constitutions, nor is it the intent to impose any additional limitations or restrictions on the contents of any communicative materials, including sexually oriented films, videotapes, books, or other materials; further, in the adoption of this subdivision, the city council does not intend to deny or restr ict the rights of any adult to obtain or view any sexually oriented materials protected by the United States or state constitutions, nor does it intend to restrict or deny any constitutionally protected rights that distributors or exhibitors of such sexually oriented materials may have to sell, distribute, or exhibit such constitutionally protected materials; finally, in the enactment of this zoning ordinance, the city council intends to adopt a content neutral measure to address the secondary effects of ad ult bookstores. (b) Required districts. M-1, M-2 (Industrial), C-1 and C-2 (Commercial) districts. (c) Standards. (1) All boundary lines of the property included within the use permit as filed must be located at least 500 feet from the properties listed in subsections (c)(1)a. and b. of this section: a.

Department Recommendation: The Community Development Department recommends approval of the proposed text amendment as discussed below. Executive Summary: The Mayor and City Council has asked Staff to create a new Use Permit for this use to encourage event facilities within the AG-1 zoning district. The current Use Permits that require a public hearing before the Planning Commission and City Council do not truly fit this type of proposed use. The current two use permits are; 1) Festival or events, outdoor/indoor (Sec 64-1812) which is for carnivals, arts and crafts shows, music festivals, etc. and it is Staff’s understanding that it was created in Fulton County for the “Renaissance Festival” which was located in south Fulton and; 2) Agricultural-related Activities (Sec 64-1797) which is for petting zoos, educational tours, dude ranches, etc. and is not conducive for operating an event facility. Staff notes that there is also an administrative use permit: Event: special indoor/outdoor (Sec 64- 1596). This permit is allowed in the AG-1 district for the benefit of charity such as tours of homes, show houses, and the like. Also, no more than two administrative permits shall be granted to the same property per year. Therefore, this administrative use permit is not appropriate for a permanent event facility. Staff’s proposed use permit is intended to take advantage of special rural characteristics such as natural features, historic structures and landscapes, open vistas and/or secluded pastoral locations. The standards are crafted in such a way to be flexible depending on the location and size of the subject site. Instead of a one size fits all, if needed, buffers are determined by the Mayor and City Council. Staff has also recommended that this use permit be categorized under “Agricultural Type Uses” in the chart located in the Rural Milton Zoning Overlay District. Page 2 of 2 Staff has met with interested parties who intend to operate an event facility on large parcels of land with the intention of helping to preserve the rural character of Milton. This use permit would be required prior to the opening of such facility. Funding and Fiscal Impact: None anticipated. Alternatives: The Mayor and City Council may approve the amendment as proposed and/or recommend further amendments to the proposed use permit.

Executive Summary: It has come to the attention of the Community Development Staff that there are businesses located within the City that operate artistic businesses that do not meet the standards as set forth in “Home occupation permitted as accessory use” (Sec 64-213). The biggest obstacle to the artists is that they conduct their business in an accessory structure. These types of artists include photographers, painters, and sculptors that require larger work spaces. The intent of the development standards is to allow these types of uses to operate within AG-1, R-1, R-2, R2-A, commercial, office, and form based codes. If within an AG-1 or other residentially zoned district, a minimum of three acres would be required with no other buffer or setback requirements other than the district standards for accessory structures. Since this use permit would be a public hearing before the Planning Commission and City Council, additional conditions may be proposed if needed. Funding and Fiscal Impact: None anticipated.

Executive Summary: In an effort to fulfill the vision defined in the Milton 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the planning process to document the vision for State Route 9 North was launched in January 2013. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the entire State Route 9 area as a future development area in need of a master plan. The recent LCI study produced a master plan for the State Route 9 area south of Bethany Bend, leaving the north section without a master plan. After 10 months of community meetings and discussions, a plan was produced that documented the vision for the north section of State Route 9. The Planning Commission recommended approval at its April 23, 2014 meeting.

Meeting Reports 1 SRSRSRSR 9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN Proposed LIVABLE CENTERS INITIATIVE STUDY Introduction and Background Introduction The State Route 9 North Vision Plan reports on the collective conclusions of the community visioning process. The process involved interviews with property owners, and a series of community presentations and interactive workshops as a forum to build consensus among the community. Through these meetings, the planning team was able to work with the community to capture a vision framework for the area. The visioning process revealed an overall vision with two distinct special treatment sub-areas. The goals of the State Route 9 North Vision Plan are to: • Create a vision for the corridor considering market potential and community input. • Identify the issues and opportunities along the corridor • Build a consensus about a cohesive future land-use plan and form of development for the area. • Offer recommendations to improve local zoning regulations and other land use control tools such as form based codes. This Plan is divided into four main sections: Inventory and Assessment, Visioning Process; Proposed Concept Plan; and Action Plan. The Inventory and Assessment section focuses on the existing land use, transportation, and market conditions within the study area. The second section, the Visioning Process, describes the process and steps used to gather the public vision. The third section, the Concept Plan, focuses on the land use framework plan, priority transportation projects, design standards, and other elements which help detail the vision for the area. This section discusses the three key areas: the general overall area and the two special treatment areas. The final section, the Action Plan, outlines implementation strategies to guide the community through successful implementation of the plan’s key projects and elements. 2 SRSRSRSR 9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN Proposed LIVABLE CENTERS INITIATIVE STUDY Introduction and Background Background The Hwy 9 area1 of Milton has experienced development resulting from three main factors: its proximity and easy access to the GA 400 state highway, its bordering position with higher density and commercially zoned properties in Forsyth County and the City of Alpharetta, and the availability of Fulton County sewer. Since the 1980’s and 1990’s, and especially between 2000 and 2005, development advanced into north Fulton and south Forsyth counties as part of the growth of Metropolitan Atlanta. Rapid growth in the early 2000’s created a dramatic change to the character of the Hwy 9 area. Milton was incorporated in 2006, and adopted its first Comprehensive Land Use Plan in 2011. As a community, the residents expressed that the Hwy 9 area needed a master plan to guide development and maintain some character. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan identified the Hwy 9 area as a “future development area” and recommended the development of a master plan. In 2011-2012 Milton used a Livable Centers Initiative (LCI)2 grant to study and create a master plan for the Hwy 9 and Deerfield areas. The LCI grant however, did not cover the entire Hwy 9 area as recommended in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. After the adoption of the Hwy9/GA 400 Master Plan LCI in 2012, the city launched a visioning study to gather the community’s vision for the remaining corridor: specifically that the area north of the LCI boundaries to the city limits. The results of the visioning study will provide a master plan for this remaining area. The report documents the results of the SR 9 North Visioning Study. 1 The Hwy 9 area refers to the area along the State Route 9 in Milton and includes areas east of Cogburn Road and the area west of the highway Ga 400. 2 It should be noted that the LCI program is conducted by the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and offers planning grants to local government to improve their town centers activity centers and corridors. The primary purpose of the LCI program is to plan and implement strategies that link transportation improvement with land- use development decisions. Areas designated as LCI communities become eligible for additional funding assistance through the program for capital improvement projects to help advance the vision and goals described in the plan. 3 SRSRSRSR 9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN Proposed LIVABLE CENTERS INITIATIVE STUDY Chapter 1.

Inventory and Assessment 1.3 Existing Transportation Conditions The road network within the study area includes State Route 9 (Hwy 9 or Cumming Hwy) and Bethany Bend on the west side of State Route 9 to Cogburn Road. Currently State Route 9 has two travel lanes, one left turn lane and a right turn lane, wherever required, for access management. Bethany Bend has two travel lanes; also a left turning lane at the entrance to the Cambridge High School, at Cogburn Road and at State Route 9. There are right turning lanes at State Road 9 and at the entrance to Cambridge High School. No right turn lane exists at Cogburn Road. Road quality is good. There are sidewalks along most of Bethany Bend and State Route 9 on at least one side of the road. The missing sections of sidewalk will be installed as the parcel is developed. Bethany Bend has sections of the Milton Trail Plan that have been installed in front of Cambridge High School. This is a 10 foot wide multi-use trail that serves pedestrians and bike traffic. There are sections of State Route 9 that have marked bike lanes on the road, but there are missing sections. Traffic signals are located at Cogburn and Bethany Bend and at Bethany Bend and State Route 9. There is no public transit. These two images show sections of sidewalk that stop at vacant parcels. (These will become continuous as the vacant parcels are developed). 12 SRSRSRSR 9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN Proposed LIVABLE CENTERS INITIATIVE STUDY Chapter 1.

Inventory and Assessment 1.4 Market Analysis An in depth market analysis was done in 2012 for the Hwy 9 area as part of the Hwy 9/GA 400 Master Plan LCI. This analysis is incorporated and by reference is made part of this State Route 9 North Vision Plan (see appendix). In summary, since the national economic downturn in 2008, Milton started to show signs of recovery by 2011 particularly in the residential markets. Milton represents a family market, more so than neighboring cities. The demographic data from the 2010 census delineates a population of 32,664, consisting of 11,659 households with an average of 2.8 people per household. Milton’s households are slightly older than Alpharetta’s and it is anticipated that the households aged 65-74 will have the greatest growth. Incomes are also greater in Milton. A look at the employment data shows that 95% of Milton residents work outside the city. This study suggested that in the LCI study area, Milton can support some mixed-use development and attract industries such as finance, insurance and real estate. This can create an economic engine for the city while continuing to support the residential and equestrian character of other parts of Milton. It is anticipated that the Plan study area can capitalize on the findings of this market analysis, but within a lower scale of intensity. 16 SRSRSRSR 9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN Proposed LIVABLE CENTERS INITIATIVE STUDY Chapter 2.

Visioning Process 2.1 Visioning Process Overview The State Route 9 North Vision Plan was developed through a community based public participation process over a ten month period. The objective of the public meetings was to collect community input with respect to intensity and types of land use that they would like to see developed in the study area. The property owners along State Route 9 were contacted and invited to meet with the City planning staff to discuss their impressions of the study area as well as any redevelopment options they thought to be appropriate. This information was compiled to use as the first step towards identifying a vision for the area. Community Meetings: The first meeting consisted of a group of key stakeholders which included Hwy 9 property owners and other interested people and served as a preview presentation of the initial findings; and to discuss the goals and purpose of the visioning study before the official kick-off presentation to the general public. The second meeting was the official Public kick-off held on February 13, 2013. Taking into consideration the feedback from previous meetings, particular activities were incorporated to better understand the character of the neighborhood that people would want to maintain. One of the foremost concerns of the community was the desire to retain consistency of neighborhood. Accordingly, a visual preference survey was used to determine the desired appearance of developments along the State Route 9 North. Residential, offices, retail, and mixed use buildings of various designs were presented and people rated each image from 1 to 5, 1 being the least preferred. Subsequently, a mapping exercise was conducted, to allow the community to place their preferred images at specific locations along the study area. This helped the planning team understand and visualize a future layout as suggested by the community. A third, follow-up meeting, presented the results of the preference survey. The images rated best and worst showed the overall notion about future vision for this community. Land use types and building styles approved by the community were reaffirmed followed by a discussion about two specific neighborhoods not being able to achieve consensus with the overall vision plan. These two areas were identified for separate meetings to build a consensus about desired future development. Lastly, a plan for gateway design at the entrance to Milton on State Route 9 was showcased. The meeting concluded with a review of a list of land use types and forms of development that the community had exhibited agreement. The exercise showed preferences for office, mixed 18 SRSRSRSR 9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN Proposed LIVABLE CENTERS INITIATIVE STUDY Chapter 2. Visioning Process use, residential or retail development. The general consensus was established for a limited amount of mixed uses with buildings up to two stories in height and of traditional architectural style. The public was informed about the possibility of adopting the form-based zoning codes to control the form of development occurring in the study area. A final meeting was held on November 6, 2013 at City Hall. All groups were invited to hear the findings from the special treatment areas as well as confirm the general vision for the study area. The public was given another chance to voice their concerns about the proposed plan and overall visions. Some of the concerns heard at the meeting were related to building mass (people disliked big-box buildings), flat rooflines (people strongly preferred sloping roofs), and the prospect of high-density residential on Bethany Bend. At this meeting, next steps for the proposed plan were announced. Residents were notified that they would have the opportunity to make comments during each step of the review and approval process. People were also made aware of the upcoming public hearings for the rezoning of the Bethany Bend/Cogburn Rd project. Staff also addressed questions about the Form Based Code development process. 2.2 Issues and Opportunities Initial Community Feedback from Stakeholder Interviews Assets: • Rural / residential character • Convenience to shopping, major transportation routes • Walkable to shops and between neighborhoods • Police presence Challenges: • Traffic volume and queuing for the school and from McFarland Road • Difficulty turning left on SR 9 • Bethany Bend Intersection • Current zoning is not realistic • Single parcels of land – owners or neighbors may not want the infill/change to office or commercial Improvements: • Sidewalks would be helpful, Some in favor of bike lanes • Bethany Bend Intersection • Reduce miles per hour speed limit on SR 9 Housing: • No need for additional residential other than in mixed use • Some still feel there is a place for single family residential • High density residential will burden the infrastructure 19 SRSRSRSR 9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN Proposed LIVABLE CENTERS INITIATIVE STUDY Chapter 2.

Proposed Concept Plan 3.1 Land Use Framework and Vision Plan The land use framework shows that within the study area, there are two sub-areas that have a slightly different character and vision from the rest of the State Route 9 North study area. The two sub-areas (as shown on the map above) are referred to as: Special Treatment Area 1: Bethany Bend/Cogburn, and Special Treatment Area 2: Five Acres. Their distinction in vision will be discussed later in the chapter. The community’s overall vision for the State Route 9 North study area is one of a mix of low to medium scale residential development, with low scale neighborhood-serving office and retail, with particular attention to architectural character and walkability. It was found that the foremost demand of the community was to preserve the less intense neighborhood characteristic that exists north of Bethany Bend. The desired neighborhood signature can be achieved by defining the acceptable land-uses and building forms for new development, as well as setting the landscaping, streetscape, buffers, 22 SRSRSRSR 9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN Proposed LIVABLE CENTERS INITIATIVE STUDY Chapter 3. Proposed Concept Plan and setbacks that contribute to the functional relationship between the buildings and the street and the various uses. One of the objectives of the public participation process was to establish the acceptable and unacceptable land-uses for future development. 23 SRSRSRSR 9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN Proposed LIVABLE CENTERS INITIATIVE STUDY Chapter 3. Proposed Concept Plan Specifically, it was determined that the future overlay should address: Proposed Acceptable Land-Uses Proposed Unacceptable Land-Uses Single Family homes (detached) Gas Stations with / without Convenience stores Single Family homes (attached) Landscaping and supply yards Office Car lots, car sales, car washes Retail Free standing fast food Restaurant Drive- throughs Mixed Use Second hand retail/consignment/pawn shops Liquor stores Amusement parks Check cashing stores Coin operated launder-mats Tattoo, body art and piercing parlors Fortune telling parlors Massage parlors Pool halls Escort and dating services Scale • One to two story buildings • No Transfer of Development Rights sending or receiving areas Setbacks, buffers, privacy fences • Proposed Buffer and setback requirements o 50 – 75 feet visual buffer from single family residential o Current requirements for residential buffers will be maintained o 20 feet wide landscape strip along Highway 9 o 6 feet wide walkways • Buffers should seem natural Form and Architecture • Refer to the Deerfield standards as the basis (section 4.16 of the Deerfield Form Based Code) 24 SRSRSRSR 9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN Proposed LIVABLE CENTERS INITIATIVE STUDY Chapter 3. Proposed Concept Plan 3.2 Special Treatment Area I: Bethany Bend/Cogburn Special Treatment Area 1: Bethany/Cogburn is a group nine parcels located along Bethany Bend and Cogburn Road just north of Cambridge High School and the north boundary of the LCI area. Early in the visioning process, the property owners for the nine parcels brought an application for rezoning to the City for a proposed development of residential, office and an assisted living facility. This proposal was not supported by the community’s vision for the area. A special group was formed to discuss and reach an acceptable compromise for the development of this site. (Complete notes from the meetings can be found in the appendix). The meetings concluded with a concept design for 28 single family homes with open space along Cogburn Road. The property owners took the concept through the rezoning process and the City Council subsequently approved the application conditional to the site plan with a reduction to 27 homes and other conditions on December 16, 2013. (Zoning Case # RZ13-16/VC13-06). 25 SRSRSRSR 9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN Proposed LIVABLE CENTERS INITIATIVE STUDY Chapter 3. Proposed Concept Plan I I 26 SRSRSRSR 9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN Proposed LIVABLE CENTERS INITIATIVE STUDY Chapter 3. Proposed Concept Plan 3.3 Special Treatment Area II: Five Acres Road Special Treatment Area 2: Five Acres Road, consists of four parcels along Hwy 9. They are approximately each 2 acres in size, with two parcels being vacant and wooded, and the other two parcels each containing an occupied, single-family residential unit. Unlike Special Treatment Area I, all four parcels are individually owned and are not represented by a developer. These parcels required special treatment because the group exercise for determining their development vision, resulted in a lack of consensus. Accordingly, a group of owners and neighboring residents met over several meetings to discuss the future development potential and options for the area. It was agreed that given that the parcels fronting State Route 9 are exposed to increasingly heavy traffic volume and noise, residential uses directly on the highway would be less desirable. However, some light-commercial, office and retail buildings would be appropriate if they were designed to fit into the residential character of the community in terms of scale, building materials, design aesthetic, buffers and landscaping. The design of the entrance to Five Acres Estates was determined to be especially important since it creates the look and feel for the entire subdivision, including all the residents 27 SRSRSRSR 9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN Proposed LIVABLE CENTERS INITIATIVE STUDY Chapter 3. Proposed Concept Plan who live within. Also, it was felt that the entrance, especially because it is on State Route 9, had to transition appropriately to a quiet residential use. Based on the meeting discussions it was concluded that some limited non-residential uses would be acceptable if the scale and architectural appearance complemented the Five Acres subdivision. The following concept drawings depict the desired architecture and scale that would be acceptable for future development. A full report of the meetings can be found in the appendix. In addition, it was agreed that a landscaped buffer will be maintained to block views of the redeveloped properties from Five Acres Road. A 20 foot landscape strip will be planted with dense plantings, including evergreens, so that non-residential properties are not visible from Five Acres Road. The overlay should stipulate landscaping buffer standards so as to block views in all four seasons and that deciduous trees would be included for aesthetics. The existing trees 28 SRSRSRSR 9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN9 N VISION PLAN Proposed LIVABLE CENTERS INITIATIVE STUDY Chapter 3. Proposed Concept Plan within the buffer will need to be removed in order to enable this more densely planted landscape to be created and the entire buffer will be fronted by horse fencing as described in the Hwy 9 Design Guidelines. Natural landscaped buffers will also be preserved between lots located on State Route 9 and their residential neighbors to the rear and side. Entrances and egress to the lots will be from Hwy 9. There will be no access to Five Acres Road from these parcels. Further, each pair of properties on either side of Five Acres Road, will share a single entrance and egress to State Route 9, where the access to the parcels will be shared between the adjoining property owners. Five Acres Road will be designed for its role as the entrance to Five Acres Subdivision where no use other than single family housing will have an entrance onto Five Acres Road. A landscape buffer will be maintained to block views of the redeveloped properties from Five Acres Road, An entrance to the subdivision at the start of Five Acres Road will be designed and constructed.

Proposed Concept Plan Example of a subdivision entrance monument All four properties within this special treatment area will maintain a 50 foot buffer along their property lines with residentially zoned neighbors. In the rear, the buffer will be primarily undisturbed forest, with more dense vegetation and/or fencing along the interior edge of the buffer if the natural vegetation is insufficient to block sightlines to the potential development from existing residential properties. • Development will be capped at 10,000 square feet per acre of land • Buildings will be one or two stories tall • Buildings will be designed to fit well with the residential character of the area. • Design elements such as peaked roofs, massing, windows, doors, and building materials will be used to enhance building styles appropriate to the area. • Building Accessories: Detention ponds (if used) and dumpsters will be hidden from view • Landscaping elements will be included around parking lots and buildings.

The City of Milton is coordinating with GDOT to design the Milton segment in a way that complements the neighborhood character along the route. Access control along State Route 9 would also be evaluated during the project. Meetings are planned for early 2014 to present and discuss the concept with the community. As part of the community input from this visioning process, it was suggested that a traffic signal be placed at the entrance to the Crooked Creek subdivision.

The good news is that 2011 showed some positive signs of market recovery with moderate employment growth, increased consumer spending, and modest housing starts growth. Over the next year, 2013, the US economy is expected to continue to grow at a moderate pace. Access to credit for development will continue to improve, and there will be a continued slow recovery of the residential market, led by rental housing, while the for-sale market continues to lag behind. One of the biggest challenges for the US economy in 2012 is the weakness in European markets. This has an unfavorable influence on US companies that export goods and services abroad. The fact that it is a Presidential election year also causes some economic uncertainty. Looking slightly further ahead, the forecasts for 2013 and 2014 suggest a much more stable economic environment, with an increase in both residential and commercial lending, stronger job growth and a more significant housing market recovery. While some of the impacts of the downturn were short lived, others may have a more lasting effect on consumer behaviors. For instance, the rate of home ownership, which spiked during the height of the market, has been on a downward trend, as shown in Figure 1.1. This has the effect of increasing the demand for rental housing, as a growing portion of households turn to renting. URBAN COLLAGE, INC. • KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC. • RCLCO 33 MARKET STUDY Figure 1.2 source: Census This in turn reduces the number of home buyers, leading to a slowed recovery of the for-sale housing market. State and Federal housing policies, and consumer attitudes about investing in real estate will determine if home ownership rates will continue to decline towards historic norms (63% to 65%, as shown in Figure 1.1). It is entirely possible that the rate of home ownership will decline several more percentage points and sustain at those levels for the short and mid-term. The increasing trend towards rental housing has driven a national multifamily resurgence over the past year, as strong occupancies and increasing rent rates have justified new construction. Another factor likely to impact the kinds of housing that gets built in the future is the growth in households without children. This is shown in Figure 1.2. In terms of the market opportunity, and Milton in particular, which has typically served a family market, the implication of more child-less households is likely to prompt an increase in demand for alternatives to conventional large lot, single family homes, such as smaller lot detached homes and townhomes. Given this information, the Study Area may be identified as an area that can provide those alternatives to the traditional single- family housing product.

The following demographic analysis of Milton focuses on the area defined by the 30004 zip code. A map showing the zip code boundaries is shown in Figure 1.3. As of the 2010 census, the most current census projections, there were 11,659 households in Milton and a total of 32,664 people, equating to an average household size of 2.8 people. The median age of households in Milton is 37, with the largest portion falling between 35 and 54. Not surprisingly, the distribution of household ages in Milton is similar to neighboring Alpharetta in terms of a concentration of households 35 to 54. However, Alpharetta has a greater portion of households ages 25 to 34. A summary of household distribution is shown in Figure 1.4. Over the next three to four years, Milton is anticipated to see the greatest growth in households headed by persons aged 65 to 74, URBAN COLLAGE, INC. • KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC. • RCLCO 35 Figure 1.5 Household Heads source: ESRI Figure 1.6 Renter and Owner Occupied household percentages source: Census 2010 MARKET STUDY which is primarily the result of many households a ging in place. Substantial growth among households headed by persons under age 25 is also anticipated because of available job opportunities for young professionals. It is also important to note that the overall rate of growth is higher in Milton, across all age ranges than the City of Alpharetta, the City of Roswell, and Atlanta metro . This is shown in Figure 1.5. Within Milton, the composition of owner and renter households is very different. Over 85% of owner households have 2 or more people, while 65% of renter households are comprised of just one or two persons. Demographic trends suggest that the demand for rental housing to accommodate the expanding base of smaller households in Milton will continue to grow. The distribution of household sizes by renters and owners is shown in Figure 1.6. Incomes in Milton are higher than the surrounding cities and the Atlanta MSA, with a greater distribution of households earning $100,000 or more annually. The distribution of incomes is shown in Figure 1.7 on the following page. While the incomes in Milton indicate a generally high wage community, it’s important to note that over 95% of Milton residents work outside the city. The employment located in Milton is most heavily concentrated in services and retail trade. Relative to the surrounding cities and the MSA, the percent of employment in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate employment is lower in Milton. This type of employment is typically higher-wage, office oriented employment. A distribution of employment by sector is shown in Figure 1.8.

This submarket has the third largest amount of space and the lowest vacancy rates, indicating strength in this sector and a potential opportunity for Milton to attract finance, insurance, and real estate employers with the goal of attaining better housing and jobs balance. Development Opportunities RCLCO performed a preliminary “development o pportunity assessment” of the LCI area, by comparing Milton to national trends, examining local demographics, and conducting conversations with stakeholders and business owners in the LCI. Overall, Milton is an established and desirable location known for strong schools and a family environment, with healthy population growth rates forecasted for the future. While there is some commercial development in place, the area is predominantly residential. It is important to note that relative to surrounding communities, Milton’s ratio of commercial to residential property is lower, which could have an impact on property tax revenues. The demographic analyses conducted for this study indicated continued demand for residential product. In particular, the aging household base suggests an opportunity for additional housing for seniors. In addition, there appears to be more opportunity for office and retail development to support Milton and other area populations. The area lacks a “multi-use” core, which recent independent national market surveys indicate is the most desirable type of suburban community in America today . There is a strong opportunity to create a commercial “town center” scaled environment (as opposed to the municipal- anchor town center concept currently being 37URBAN COLLAGE, INC. • KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC. • RCLCO Figure 1.8: Employment by Sector source: ESRI MARKET STUDY discussed for the Crabapple area), similar to what c ommunities such as Suwanee and Smyrna have created. One of the factors that has driven the growth of office space in other communities is the presence of executive households. These are the decision- makers that decide where to locate their offices. Given the strong base of executive households in Milton, and the strong performance in the overall North Fulton office market, it would appear that there is an opportunity to provide additional office space. In particular, there appears to be an opportunity for greater segmentation of office formats, not simply focusing on large institutional properties but including smaller professional service employment in mixed-use formats, which have been popular in town center locations. Retail is strong along Windward Parkway in anchored shopping centers, however, non-anchored strip retail in mid-block locations are weak as indicated by their vacancies. This may improve as the economy overall improves, but in general non- anchored strip retail may be oversupplied. Although Milton has the ingredients to support mixed-use development, it may be a challenge to find the land to support additional development in the LCI area. Some of the tracts that present the greatest opportunity for re-development are also those that house some of the newest developments (Hwy 9 south of Windward), so their near-term re-use may not be feasible. The Deerfield area however, is ripe for regional office and supportive mixed-use development. The challenge for Deerfield is the competition that it faces from adjacent communities. 1 | Page Rte. 9 Visioning Process Bethany Bend Area Stakeholder Group Meeting June 27, 2013 Introductions Participants introduced themselves. Participants included: Peter and Patti Fredlund, PB Nair, Nikki Haslett, Patrick McAreavey, Laura Bentley, Lacy Kennedy, Roger Kubler, Maryanne and Kenneth Hayes, Dot Blair, Virlyn and Naomi Asherbranner, Kari Payne, Barbara Schippert, Jim and Beth Simpson, Curtis Hicks, Lester and Lynn Lee, Meg Baird, and Niraj Kumar. City officials included: Kathy Field, Michele McIntosh‐Ross, and Robyn MacDonald. Facilitator: Michael Elliott. Review of Visioning Process The history and current status of the visioning process was described as follows. The initial design for the visioning process was to encompass the full length of Rte. 9 and its proximate areas. The area considered in Phase 1, however, was limited to south of Bethany Bend, in large part because the Atlanta Regional Commission provided for a Livable Centers Initiative grant to cover the cost of planning, and LCI grants are generally provided to plan for activity centers rather than for linear corridors (see Figure 1 below, with the south visioning area shown outlined in red and the north visioning area shown in blue). 1 LCI Boundaries for the Southern Section of Route 9 2 | Page The LCI grant was issued in FY 2011 and the resulting plan (prepared by Urban Collage) was completed in April 2012 (Highway 9/GA 400 Area Master Plan). The plan is now being implemented. Following completion of the LCI planning process, the city’s Community Development Department began a process of visioning focusing on the area to the north of Bethany Bend (see figure 2 below). This process was modeled on the approach used in the LCI, with a Stakeholder Group comprising of many of the same individuals who had constituted the LCI Stakeholder group, with city planning staff managing the process. During the initial meetings of the Stakeholder Group and the corresponding public meetings, it became clear that two sections of the Rte. 9 North area were of particular concern to residents of the nearby community. One of these was the section on Bethany Bend. The city therefore invited residents of the area to form a stakeholder group for more detailed discussions about this area. A facilitator was hired to work with members of the group to develop a vision acceptable to the various parties. The facilitator interviewed most of the participants before the first meeting. The June 27th meeting was the first of the group meetings. 2 Planning Area for the North Section of Rte. 9 Envisioning the Future of Rte. 9 on Bethany Bend The meeting focused on issues associated with the future of the section of Bethany Bend west of Rte. 9 included in the visioning process. Based on interviews conducted by the facilitator, a 3 | Page list of concerns, issues and interests was posted for consideration. These concerns were discussed, with additional concerns added. The concerns are as follows: 1) Communitywide Concerns: a) Traffic on Bethany Bend and on Cogburn i) Level of traffic ii) Time needed to get through this section when traffic backs up iii) Difficulty of merging into traffic safely iv) Specific concerns about young (high school) drivers, due to the large number of schools on Cogburn v) The possible impact of future trucks and emergency vehicles in the area, and the noise they could generate b) Safety of drivers and pedestrians, particularly school children, also due to the large number of schools c) Preserving Milton’s character i) Milton is trying to preserve a rural character and to restrict denser development to nodes and corridors such as along Route 9. The properties along Bethany Bend could allow development to penetrate more deeply along Bethany Bend and Cogburn. ii) On the other hand, the high school has already altered the character of this stretch of Bethany Bend significantly. iii) There are mixed views about what this means for this stretch of Bethany Bend, but most participants are clear that they do not want development on this property to open the door for future development down Bethany and Cogburn, or to alter the residential and rural character of these two roads north and west of the intersection of these roads. iv) The type of development, its density, and its aesthetics all impact the character of the area. v) The use of sewer on the site is seen by many residents as opening the door for the future use of sewer in developments to the west and north of these parcels, and that such a precedent is not desirable. d) Property values i) A concern of both owners of property in the Bethany Bend Visioning Study and nearby residents e) Managing change responsibly i) The need for planning in order to manage change in a careful manner, taking into consideration the vision and concerns of all the stakeholders involved 4 | Page ii) The need to install infrastructure at the level needed to ameliorate the impacts of this growth (sidewalks, traffic lights, etc.). Sidewalks were discussed at more length. The city is seen as not having the resources to pay for new infrastructure iii) What does it mean for this section of Bethany Bend to be considered a transition zone? How does this stretch of Bethany Bend protect the concerns of its neighbors while responding to the conditions around it? iv) The desire to get the question of appropriate use of the land along this stretch of Bethany Bend resolved in a way that decreases the uncertainty about its future use f) Crime in the area: is it rising? 2) Additional Concerns of Abutting Neighbors: a) Privacy issues associated with sight lines, noise, and light b) Massing of nearby buildings, especially if they are significantly larger than existing residential structures Options for Consideration Current zoning (AG‐1) allows for single family housing, kennels, vets, and other agricultural uses as of right, and churches, schools, B&Bs, landscaping, and similar institutions and businesses with a special use permit. Options for rezoning the properties along Bethany Bend will need to address the communitywide and additional neighbors’ concerns indicated above. Options for future consideration include: 1) Passage of a bond to buy the property for public purposes. Public use could include a park and community center, or expansion land for the high school 2) One‐story office condos made to look like homes 3) A church 4) Restricting development to the property along Bethany while preserving the character of the land along Cogburn 5) Terrace apartments for seniors, similar to The Orchards 6) Single family housing, either as currently allowed under AG‐1 zoning (9 homes on 1‐acre lots), at twice that density (18 homes on ½‐acre lots), or at some unspecified increase in density over this amount 7) Cluster homes (for active adults) 8) Offices (doctors, dentists, other services); office condos, such as The Grasslands 9) Mixed use development 10) Graduated density, with part higher density nearer Route 9 and density decreasing in the parts of the property furthest from Route 9 5 | Page Next Steps Participants agreed to meet again to focus on possible options for future development that would meet the interests of the various stakeholders in the group. Between now and the next meeting, the various Bethany Bend property owners will develop a few options for consideration. The objective is to develop options that meet the interests of the various stakeholders as outlined above. 1 | Page Rte. 9 Visioning Process Bethany Bend Area Stakeholder Group Meeting 2 July 10, 2013 Introductions Participants introduced themselves. Participants included: Peter and Patti Fredlund, PB Nair, Laura Bentley, Jim, John and Beth Simpson, Dot Blair, Elaine Decker, Niraj Kumar, Naomi Asherbranner, Lynn Lee, Meg and Sam Baird, and Bryan Flint. City officials included: Kathy Field and Robyn MacDonald. Facilitator: Michael Elliott. Interests and Concerns Following review of the agenda and introductions, participants briefly reviewed the interests and concerns raised during the first meeting of the stakeholder group. These are as follows: Minimize traffic impacts Promote pedestrian safety, especially for school children Promote compatibility between land uses and types of development included on the site with the residential neighborhoods to its west and north, as well as with the high school to its south Limit density to a level compatible with its residential neighbors Design to aesthetic standards, both in buildings and landscaping, that enhance Milton’s character Reduce the likelihood that development in this location will increase the prospect of future commercial redevelopment of the residential properties located on Bethany Bend and Cogburn, with a particular concern about the role of sewer extensions in promoting redevelopment Protect the privacy of residential neighbors from noise, sight lines, and light Maintain public safety (concern about crime) In as much as development along Bethany Bend between Route 9 and Cogburn protected these interests, such development would be viewed more favorably. We therefore used this list of interests to help evaluate the options being presented. Options for Consideration As requested, the property owners and the developer working with them presented three options for consideration. In summary, the options consisting of either all residential (32 units) or a mix of residential and office (15 residential units, plus 21,600 sq. ft. of office located on the 2 | Page east end of the property or 35,200 sq. ft. of office located on the west end of the property). Each of these options would require rezoning. These designs are attached. Three additional ideas were presented by a community resident during the meeting. These consisted of three uses that are currently allowed within AG‐1 zoning. They included a landscaping and garden center, a large animal surgery center, and an equestrian center. Discussion of Options Options Consistent with AG-1 Zoning In AG‐1 zones, gardening businesses are allowed, but can only sell wholesale or as part of a landscaping business. In order to sell retail within an AG‐1 zone, the center needs to grow what is being sold on‐site. Garden centers that sell to retail customers are located in commercial zones. Veterinarian services can be located in AG‐1 zoning, as can equestrian centers. Equestrian centers in other neighborhoods have raised concerns about noise and odor. These options were seen as keeping with the rural character of Milton. At the same time, questions about the feasibility of these options were raised, both because of the likelihood that someone would seek to develop these uses along Bethany Bend and because of the financial feasibility of the uses. Options Requiring Rezoning The following concerns were raised about the three options requiring rezoning. The entrance onto Cogburn was undesirable because it would put traffic directly onto this street, even with the right‐in and right‐out restriction. It was unclear, for the designs presented, whether the Fire Department would require a second entrance other than the one on Bethany Bend, or if that entrance would need to be on Cogburn. The options would need either sewer or a waste water treatment package plant because the densities exceed those that allow for septic systems. Of these, the sewer is more reliable, but use of sewer on the north side of Bethany Bend could increase the likelihood that neighbors north on Cogburn or west on Bethany Bend would push for further extension of the sewer. Further discussion suggested that direct connection to sewers on this site could be blocked if the part of the property was restricted from having sewer access. This would need to extend from Bethany Bend near its intersection with Cogburn, along Cogburn, and along the boundary with the residential property to the north. This could be done through covenants attached to the property, and would require land uses that are compatible with unsewered land (either a park or residential on a 1‐acre lot). Either of these solutions would also visually protect Cogburn’s residential character. Density was discussed. As designed, these options include 3.5 units per acre, which is roughly five times the density of the Oakstone Glen subdivision to the north, which is developed at 0.7 units per acre, and 3.5 times the density currently allowed for residential development under AG‐1 zoning. While residents consistently thought the 3 | Page density was too high, a range of opinions existed as to what would be considered reasonable for this site. Options discussed by residents ranged from 9 units (as currently allowed), double this, and as close to 18 as feasible. The sidewalk and streetscape seemed reasonable, as it meets or exceeds city standards. The price points of the proposed residential units was discussed. While the initial estimate for the units is $400,000 for townhouses and $500,000 for homes, there was concern that the market would not support such values and the possible implications for the value of other properties in the area if these units sold for less. After discussion about the relative merits of the mix between residential and office development as presented in the three options, the all‐residential option was generally preferred. Next Steps Based on the previous discussion, the community residents requested a new option which met the following conditions: 1. Legally protected from sewer access property along Bethany Bend near its intersection with Cogburn, Cogburn Road, and the existing residential property along Cogburn to the north (owned by Karen Asherbranner) and design this section to maintain the residential and wooded character found along Cogburn 2. Decrease density on the property below 32 units, with some sense of being as close to 18 as is economically feasible (but without consensus on this). 3. Maintain sidewalks and streetscapes as shown in the 3 options presented (4’ landscape strip, 10’ sidewalk, and 20’ landscaped buffer) 4. Maintain a 75’ buffer along the north edge of the property, landscaped to promote understory and block sight lines 5. Clarify whether a road connecting to Cogburn is needed, and design based on the minimum allowable impact (no road if not required, exit only if needed) 6. Design an all‐residential option. The stakeholder group will meet in two weeks to discuss options further. Page is too large to OCR. Page is too large to OCR.

Attendees also included Curtis Hicks (developer), Kathy Field, Michele McIntosh‐Ross, and Robyn MacDonald (City officials), and Shubhangi Jangam (City intern). Facilitator: Michael Elliott. Interests and Concerns Following discussion of the agenda, the facilitator reviewed the interests and concerns raised during previous meetings of the stakeholder group, rewording them as principles for evaluating the degree to which the new proposal for the Baird/Lee properties1 meets the interests and concerns expressed by members of the Stakeholder Group. These principles are as follows: 1. Minimize traffic Impact 2. Promote pedestrian safety 3. Promote compatibility of land uses with residential neighbors 4. Design to aesthetic standards 5. Reduce likelihood that this development will encourage commercial, office or higher density residential redevelopment north on Cogburn or west on Bethany Bend a. Sewer b. Precedent 6. Protect privacy of neighbors a. Sight b. Noise 7. Maintain public safety 8. Limit density for compatibility with neighbors In as much as development along Bethany Bend between Route 9 and Cogburn meet these principles, such development would be viewed favorably. The principles were discussed and accepted. 1 For clarity, the nine acre property that runs along Bethany Bend and Cogburn Road, which is jointly owned by Sam and Meg Baird and Lester and Lynn Lee and which constitutes the land being considered by the Bethany Bend Stakeholder Group and by the plans discussed during the meeting, will be referred to as the Baird/Lee properties. 2 | Page Presentation of New Proposal Curtis Hicks presented the new proposal for the Baird/Lee properties. The site plan is attached as Appendix 1. The new option includes 28 single family residential homes with a detention pond near the northeast edge of the property and a shared public space / park at the corner of Bethany Bend and Cogburn. The site includes a 75’ natural buffer along the northern edge of the property. The roadside edge of the property along both Bethany Bend and Cogburn includes a 4’ landscape strip and 10’ sidewalk. In addition, Bethany Bend includes a 20’ landscaped buffer and Cogburn Road includes a 50’ greenway buffer between the sidewalk and the proposed homes. Using elevations from a comparable development (Crabapple Crossing, in downtown Crabapple across from the Old Blind Dog Tavern, as shown in Appendix 2), Curtis described the concept plan as follows. Houses are arrayed with their front doors facing towards Bethany Bend. Automobile entry is back‐loaded from the interior street. Houses are 10’ apart from each other, with small individual lots but large commonly held spaces, including parks and landscaped buffers. Houses are high‐end, quality homes with a price range from the low to mid $400s2. Each is designed distinctly, varying the exterior and interior designs and finishes. Houses would be approximately 3,000 to 3,200 square feet and priced around $125 to $150 per square feet. Parks could either be donated to the city or managed by the homeowners’ association. The park on the corner of Bethany Bend and Cogburn would be open to the public. The HOA would manage the buffers. A covenant would limit rentals to 10 percent of properties, which in this case would round up to three properties. Discussion of Proposal The proposal was examined in light of the principles presented above, as follows: 1. Minimize traffic Impact Residents are concerned about the increase in traffic along Bethany Bend and Cogburn. Traffic will increase as Cambridge High School increases its enrollment through the junior and senior class years and as King’s Ridge Christian School completes construction and occupies its high school. Improvements along Bethany Bend are needed to manage this traffic. City officials noted that currently the City has no plans to redesign Bethany Bend or Cogburn. Before major changes were made, the Public Works Department would need to do a detailed study and improvement plan. The proposed development has been designed to minimize traffic impacts. An interior roadway will remove local circulation from Bethany Bend. Entrance to the development will be from one point, located directly across from Cambridge High’s entrance. A secondary entrance onto Cogburn that 2 While some residents are concerned that this price range may not be achieved, the developer is confident that it is realistic. 3 | Page was included in previous designs has been eliminated.3 Details concerning the entrance design from Bethany Bend will also be subject to Department of Public Works review. There was some discussion about the traffic impacts of 28 houses connecting to Bethany Bend through one point of entrance and egress relative to the impact of nine houses egressing through nine driveways along both Bethany Bend and Cogburn (as allowed by the current AG‐1 zoning). The single point of entrance and egress has significant advantages that offset traffic generated by the additional houses and overall this was seen as a reasonable way to manage traffic. 2. Promote pedestrian safety The property includes a 4’ landscape strip and 10’ sidewalk along both Bethany Bend and Cogburn Road. This is consistent with previous designs, and would improve pedestrian safety along Bethany Bend across from Cambridge High School and along a segment of Cogburn. There was some discussion about how to extend sidewalks beyond the project, but this was seen as an issue requiring city or school action, not developer action. 3. Promote compatibility of land uses with residential neighbors The land use proposed is now completely detached residential. It no longer contains institutional (assisted living) or commercial/office uses as envisioned in previous proposals by the developer and owners. The land use was seen as compatible (although questions of density were discussed further, as shown below).4 4. Design to aesthetic standards There was widespread agreement amongst residents, the owners, and the developer that the development should be of high quality, with each house offering a unique identity, designed and built with a variety of materials (brick, granite, wood) to create varied exteriors and interiors. Two sets of elevations were presented as examples of high quality development, the first by the developer as shown in Appendix 2 and the second by one of the residents (Dot Blair) as shown in Appendix 3. As a corollary issue, city officials were asked how aesthetic standards would be incorporated into any rezoning decision. Two options are possible: if the development occurs after adoption of Form‐ Based Codes for this area, then the Codes would include design standards that would apply to all developments in the area, with specific provisions for the Baird/Lee properties. This, however, would take six to eight months to complete. If the owners apply for a rezoning before the Codes are completed, then the City would incorporate such standards into the rezoning, based on the plan and examples being presented today. In either case, the development would be subject to review 3 The specifics of the design will need to be reviewed by Milton’s Departments of Public Works and for conformance to safety and access requirements. Preliminary review has determined that access from Cogurn Road will not be required. In a worst case scenario, if access via Cogburn Road should be needed, it will be a controlled access, for emergency vehicles only. 4 A participant raised concerns that the report for Meeting 2 included comments made by City officials without noting who made the comment. The comments concerned alternative development ideas that were consistent with AG‐1 zoning. Since the report does not indicate who made the comment, it potentially suggests that it comes from a community member and may therefore be misleading. 4 | Page by the Design Review Board and the Department of Community Development with the assistance of the City Architect. 5. Reduce likelihood that this development will encourage commercial, office or higher density residential redevelopment north on Cogburn or west on Bethany Bend It should be noted first that community residents were unanimously opposed to further institutional, commercial/office, or higher density residential redevelopment north on Cogburn or west on Bethany Bend from the proposed project. While there was willingness within the Stakeholder Group to consider the unique characteristics of the proposed project as a transitional area separating AG‐1 and single family residential zones from Route 9 development and Cambridge High School, there was also a great deal of concern that any such consideration would later encourage yet more redevelopment to the north and west, both by providing easier access to sewer hookups and by setting a precedent for more growth. The project seeks to deal with these concerns as follows: First, the project seeks to limit the potential expansion of sewer from the project site to neighboring properties by providing a physical and a legal barrier to such expansion. The sewer will be built as a private (not public) sewer with 6‐inch pipes. This system will be sized for the 28 units but would be too small to provide capacity for future expansion. In addition, a covenant will be created by the property owners to prevent sewer from crossing the buffers along the northern and western edges of the property.5 Second, the project was redesigned to minimize the development impact on Cogburn and on the corner between Cogburn and Bethany Bend, such that the residential areas to the north along Cogburn and west along Bethany Bend would not be visually impacted by the new development. This is accomplished by creating a 50’ greenway buffer along Cogburn, plus a substantial park at the corner of Bethany Bend and Cogburn. While these changes reduce the potential for the Baird/Lee project to encourage further redevelopment, they do not preclude it. Resident members of the stakeholder group remained concerned that the City would in the future allow other property owners to the north and west to rezone to higher density developments. Moreover, even if sewer could not be physically extended from the site, the city could allow sewer extension along the street from existing sewers along Route 9, Bethany Bend, and Cogburn. Dot Blair presented a Fulton County map showing sewer extension to the east of Route 9 to Bethany Bend as an example of this concern (see Appendix 4). City officials responded that Milton has been engaged since it became a city in a systematic effort to preserve significant sections of Milton as AG‐1 and similar land uses while at the same time concentrating higher density development to areas within growth areas. Per the Comprehensive Plan, areas to the north and west of the properties under discussion will remain low density, as currently zoned and without access to sewer, while the Baird/Lee properties have been envisioned as transitional, consisting of land uses that will protect the adjacent residential properties while also being compatible with the more dense commercial and institutional development found along 5 As noted, such covenants can be broken by the use of eminent domain, but this could only be done by a governmental entity such as the city. Also noted, sewer could be extended from Bethany Bend or Cogburn from one of the existing sewer lines, and that this would not need to cross the project’s property. 5 | Page Route 9 and across Bethany Bend (Cambridge High). While City Council has the legal authority to change zoning and to request sewer extensions from Fulton County in the future, it would need to alter the Comprehensive Plan to do so, and as indicated in the plan, it is Milton’s intention to limit future land use of properties to the north and west of the Baird/Lee properties to low density residential and agricultural uses. 6. Protect privacy of neighbors The proposed site plan includes a 75’ undisturbed natural buffer to protect the privacy of residential neighbors to the north. The stakeholder group discussed whether fencing should be added to this area and if so, what kind. The group concluded that the 75’ buffer should be left largely undisturbed, but that a privacy fence should be incorporated into the design, approximately 25’ away from the north property line (to screen the fence from view)6. The fence should be built so that it is opaque and at least 6’ tall. It should also be built through the woods in a way that protects the woodland as best as possible and in particular protects taller specimen tress. Landscaping can be added to the buffer located south of the fence, but taller trees should be preserved. Two other issues were raised at this time. First, electric power to properties north along Cogburn (in particular, the home of Dot Blair) pass through an easement located on the Baird/Lee properties. The existing power line will need to be relocated, and both the developer and city officials suggested that this could easily be done by rewiring the power line through an underground system. The development will be putting its power lines underground. Second, the details of stormwater runoff and the design and management of the master stormwater management detention area need to be worked out. Currently, stormwater from the northwest section of the site travels north onto neighboring properties, while the remainder of the site slopes to the east and south. Stormwater regulations are such that stormwater from any development will be captured and held onsite, to be slowly released into sewers. Thus, any offsite flow of stormwater will be reduced by the development. Lacy Kennedy raised specific concerns about the design and management of the detention area. The developer noted that the detention area will be designed to be vegetated under dry conditions, and to provide for shallow storage during wet conditions. City officials noted that the City has been promoting the use of shallow, vegetated detention ponds that mimic natural systems more effectively rather than deeper detention ponds that are unvegetated and require screening and fencing for safety. Details of the detention area will be worked out with the City, but more details about this should also be provided to immediate neighbors. 7. Maintain public safety The proposed development did not raise concerns about public safety. 6 Following the meeting, the City Arborist clarified that fences are not permitted within an undisturbed or planted buffer. One possible solution is to build an attractive privacy fence at the property line (or as near as needed to avoid specimen trees). The applicant might also provide funding to adjacent property owners who could see the fence to install additional plantings on their property to help screen the fence. Another possible solution is to turn the 75’ buffer into a 50’ undisturbed buffer and a 25’ evergreen landscaped buffer designed to block sight lines, and thereby eliminate the need for the fence. The details of this will need to be worked out amongst the parties. 6 | Page 8. Limit density for compatibility with neighbors While most of the concerns about the original development have been ameliorated with the new design, residents remain concerned about the density of the development. There was considerable discussion about this issue. The discussion is partially summarized in Section 5 above about whether this development will encourage continued redevelopment north along Cogburn Road or west along Bethany Bend. This is clearly of significant concern to all community residents on the stakeholder group. As discussed above, the development was seen as being responsive to this concern but that ultimately the City will need to ensure that Cogburn and Bethany Bend remain low‐density residential and agricultural/equestrian. City officials again reiterated that the City has sought and created policy to maintain 85% of land in AG‐1 zoning and to have responsible development within clearly demarked areas, including the zone alongside and adjacent to Highway 9. Within the development itself, community residents would like less density and more space between houses. At the same time, discussion indicated that many of the more positive features of the development (extensive buffers, interior road system, protection of Cogburn through buffers and parks) were made possible by the density of the development, and that while a decrease in the density by a few units would not substantially improve the community, it could make a significant difference as to whether the project as a whole was economically viable. Discussion then turned to whether the project as a whole was acceptable as presented and discussed in today’s meeting. Acceptability of Proposal After further discussion, all but two of the members of the stakeholder group who were present agreed that this proposal was a significant improvement over initial proposals, that aside from the density, it largely met community concerns, and that the proposed site plan and concept design were therefore acceptable, subject to working out details around issues of utility easements and the stormwater management system, as well as fleshing out the site plan and concept design in a way consistent with the vision presented and discussed in the meeting. One person continued to object because the density exceeded 18 units, while another indicated that she wanted to discuss this with other residents who had not been members of the Stakeholder Group before indicating approval. It should be noted that the acceptance of the site and concept plan was not a vote of approval for the final design, but rather an indication that the proposal is a reasonable basis for moving forward. Details still need to be worked out. 7 The developer agreed to further detail out the home designs, landscaping, roadway, stormwater management, and other aspects of the site plan in ways that are consistent with the site plan and 7 A draft of this report was sent to all meeting participants for review. Four participants requested clarification that the acceptance was conditional on the developer and city following through with solutions to problems raised and detailing out a high‐quality design consistent with what was presented in concept. One participant indicated that the community agreed only to continue negotiations with the developer with the aim of reaching an acceptable compromise in the future. The “Acceptability of Proposal” section was edited to note these concerns, with more details presented in the Comments section below. 7 | Page concept design. The developer will, in particular, further detail the stormwater management detention area to ensure that this design protects neighboring properties. These details will be provided at the time of or before application to rezone. Next Steps There are two possible paths forward. It will take another 6 to 8 months to adopt Form‐Based Codes for this area. The vision as developed by the Bethany Bend Subarea Stakeholder Group will now be incorporated by the full Route 9 North Stakeholder Group into overall plans and form‐based codes for the area adjacent to Route 9 north of Bethany Bend. This will then be presented to the community for their input. If the owners wait until the codes are finalized, the Form‐Based Codes will create a specific zone for the Baird/Lee property and incorporate the features included in the site plan and concept design, as discussed above. In addition, the Codes would preclude the use of Transferable Development Rights to increase the density on the site. The second option is for the owners to seek rezoning based on the existing zoning codes. If this option is taken,8 the property would probably be rezoned to Townhouse Residential, with specific conditions that require development to meet conditions set by the site plan and concept design as presented today and attached, including design standards for the homes and landscaping. The overall development design will be subject to review by the Design Review Board, Community Development Department and the City Architect. Other city departments will make sure all the impacts are taken care of before approving the plan. The rezoning proposal would be presented to the community for their input. Any attempt to substantially change the plan and site design once approved by City Council would require re‐approved by City Council and the same departments, open once again to community input. Technical and design issues of utility easements (to Dot Blair’s house) and stormwater drainage were raised during the meeting, the resolution of which requires additional detailing by the developer and owners. An additional meeting of those stakeholders interested in these issues will be sponsored by the Department of Community Development staff before rezoning is finalized. 8 Following the meeting summarized in this report, the owners have indicated that they will seek rezoning rather than wait until adoption of the Form Based Codes. The developer will need to detail out the site plan and rezoning would be conditioned on implementing the vision as articulated in today’s meeting, with additional details as discussed above. The more fully developed plan will be subject to community input and city review. 8 | Page Comments on Draft Report The draft of this report was sent to all participants in the meeting for their review and comment. Eleven of the participants responded with comments as follows: Three community residents and the developer indicated that they were fine with it as written (E.g.: “We have read your meeting report and it appears you have captured correctly everything we discussed, so we are fine with it as is.” by a local resident.), two city officials provided minor corrections to descriptions of city processes (e.g., which city officials would be involve in the site plan review process), four community residents requested clarification of the way the report indicated the degree of acceptance of the proposed site and concept plan, with two of these also indicating that while they agreed with the plan, it was based on many uncertainties and in any case they could only speak for themselves and not for the residents who were not part of the stakeholder process, and one community resident had concerns about not only the section on the “Acceptability of the Proposal” but also additional parts of the report. Clarifications and corrections from these comments were integrated into the body of the report where applicable. For additional clarity, the comments of the five residents who submitted substantive remarks are presented below, excluding comments that were integrated into the text above or that were not related to what was discussed during the meeting. Comments about the Acceptability of the Proposed Site and Concept Plan 1. I have read your report and do not have any material objections to the report as written. However, I left the last meeting thinking that the developer was going to add more detail to the plan, answer the open questions about the utility lines to Dot's house, investigate the possibilities and potential topography issues regarding sewer prior to seeking rezoning. However, Footnote [8] reads as if they are moving forward with rezoning potentially without answering the open requests. I am not clear on the next steps. Will there be another meeting where we will get resolution on the open items? Then after said meeting, we will give our final approval or vote to disapprove? I also think the information in Footnote [6] is something that needs to be discussed with the group. I am not an adjacent landowner, but I think the those that are need to know how this changes the site plan and what had been discussed/promised. I remain skeptical that the plan is far too vague as it stands, and that once rezoning is approved the plan will change and we will once again be in a "you get what you get" position. I feel like "I have seen this movie before"; we agree to a plan and then the developer makes changes and anything and everything that we agreed to becomes irrelevant. In summary, I am fine with your report but I think it needs to more clearly state that the approval was contingent upon the open items. I am afraid the way it is currently written it could be construed that we accepted it without contingencies. 2. In looking back at the 8/21 meeting, I would say that [the facilitator] offered a round-table opportunity for opinions to be expressed. There was not an empirical yeah/nay vote. I think your [refering to an email from another resident] recollection of silence is correct also, certainly in the case of [my husband] and me, because of the implications of the proposed development. There were positive reactions to the new proposal and I would guess that these are the reason for [the facilitator’s] conclusion of acceptance. I think it is incorrect to say, however, that the stakeholders gave a rousing vote of approval. 9 | Page Having reviewed the proposal, [my husband] and I both think that this is probably the most advantageous solution to the question of developing the nine acre parcel. In his discussion of the details, we felt that Curtis Hicks came across as a skilled and experienced developer and if he delivers the proposed design at the level of quality he promises, the results would be appropriate. There remain some pretty big "ifs" and, again, I think these are the reason for the thoughtful silence you observed: If the correct solution for getting your property linked into the power supply is achieved If a good plan for the drainage issues can be derived If, and this is the most uncertain of all, the city can be trusted to live up to its good faith agreement regarding future zoning and development If these uncertainties can be resolved, we might actually see success. 3. I have to disagree with your characterization that "all but two of the members of the stakeholder group who were present agreed". While there were a handful of people who were in agreement, there were also quite a few people who were not committing one way or the other. Since there was no formal vote or even a show of hands, I'm not sure how you were able to arrive at that number. 4. I agreed with my husband that the plan was nice, but based on a lot of WHAT IFs. So coming to any final conclusions on my part at this time was based still on incomplete and less than factual information. 5. Since it is evident that there is not accurate documentation of each community members vote on this issue, I feel the statement [about the acceptability of the proposal] should not be included in the summation. It would be fair to state that the community members agreed to continue negotiations with the developer to reach and acceptable compromise. Comments about the Involvement of Other Stakeholders 1. I continued to express for the RECORD that it be made clear that MANY were missing that night and also many were not included in what has appeared to be a slanted proceedings. That I as well as the rest could only speak for ourselves and not the community (stakeholders-VOTERS) that were not there. So City Officials do not have a clear understanding on what the Community wants based on this report. 2. As my wife stated, there were a lot of homeowners in our neighborhood who were not offered the option of being a stakeholder and that's where this process becomes potentially a large mis-representation of opinion. I realize that this is an issue we have with the city and their stakeholder selection process, however it might be worthy of one of your footnotes. Comments about Other Aspects of the Report One participant raised additional concerns, some of which were incorporated into the text or are presented in the comments above. Other comments are presented as follows: 1. With reference to electric power easements (second paragraph of Subsection 6, p. 5 above): This is an accurate statement but it fails to identify the true complications that are presented by this utility easement in regards to provision of a buffer that meets required standards. During the meeting, we discussed the fact that an underground line could be utilized. The problem, however, arises in the fact that my house is serviced by an above ground power line on my property. The utility company would still have to have an easement, free of obstruction to service my power source with a utility truck. The fact that the line could be placed underground on the adjacent property would not eliminate the obstacle of the required buffer standards. A buffer is required in this area to obstruct a view from my property onto the highest density of the proposed site plan. The developer has committed to finding a solution to this problem and has been provided the name of the utility company in order to obtain approval of any designed solutions. Although this summation includes statements that reflect that this is an unresolved issue, it does not 10 | Page describe the true complications of the provision of a utility and required buffer for my property. This fact needs to be included in the summation for an accurate picture of the complication. 2. With reference to stormwater management (third paragraph in Subsection 6, p. 5 above): This section indicates that the developer will provide additional information regarding the detention pond. It was my understanding that a hydrology study would be done by the developer and this would not only provide details of the detention pond but also answer more clearly concerns related to runoff on the western portion of the proposed site plan. Approximately one third of the property at the western boarder slopes away from the proposed detention area located on the eastern portion of the site. This is shown on the topography map included in the summation. The community not only requested information regarding the detention pond but also desired clear solutions to the western stormwater runoff. Again this is noted as an unresolved issue, but the summation does not provide an accurate picture of the information the developer has committed to providing the community members. There is also a comment in the summation that suggests the developer is not committed to providing this information to the community prior to application (“These details will be provided at the time of or before application to rezone.”). The “details” being submitted at application and not being share with the community members prior to application was not discussed with the community members. The community was lead to believe that developer was trying to resolve these issues prior to application. Providing this information at application negates the process of negotiation that the community members and taxpayers have invested in regarding an amicable solution to the concerns related to this Special Interest Area. 3. With reference to the City Arborist’s information that fences cannot be located within landscape buffers (Footnote 6, p. 5 above): It is evident from our correspondence over the weekend that many details were worked out after the meeting with the community members. The fact that the promised fence is not an option and the fact that the developer has individually selected option 2 for zoning without the community's input or clarification is disturbing. Inclusion of these facts in the summation seems to suggest that the community members have agreed to these conditions. It is apparent that there are many unresolved concerns of the community members that still need to be addressed before application is made by this developer. This need for clarification has also been stated by other community members in the copies of reviews I have received. I, like [another resident], would like to know what the next step in this process will be. 4. With reference to concerns about density (Subsection 8, p.6 above): [The facilitator’s] summation does accurately reflect that there were many concerns related to density by the community members. However, what he has failed to establish is the fact that the community members were lead to believe that there was room for negotiation after the second mediation meeting held on 7/10 reflected below. He also negated to express many of the concerns the community members had related to density. The community members were not allowed to discuss density until the very end of the meeting. Several attempts were made to address this element earlier in the meeting but all attempts were skillfully deferred by [the facilitator]. The community members clearly indicated that the proposed density was incompatible with the neighborhood that currently consist of homes on lots averaging greater than one acre per home. There were also concerns related to the spacing of homes which would be only 10 feet apart. One community member even expressed a concern related to the risk of fire with units being so close together. When attempts were made to negotiate density, the developer admitted that they never had any intentions of negotiating density beyond what they presented. (Note: the density stated on the site plan distributed was 30 units, a community member identified the miscount error which resulted in an actual count of 28 units). Mr. Hicks even noted that the community members were somehow misled by the associate that stood in for him during the second meeting about negotiating density. The community members were not only misled to believe that the developer was willing to negotiate density by this associate but also by the summation report given by [the facilitator] and the Stakeholders present as landowners of the lot who did not speak out during the second meeting to establish a density limit had been reached. All attempts to negotiate density were met with a resounding NO. Attempts were made to decrease the density by just a few homes, not the 18 units or nothing as [the facilitator] suggested. And the answer was still NO. 11 | Page It should be noted, in addition to [the facilitator’s] comments, that the community attempted to negotiate density, and expressed specific concerns relating to an item that has consistently been noted as a priority concern for the community members though out this process. It should also be noted that all attempt to discuss this element earlier in the meeting were postponed until the very end of the meeting that adjourned at 10 pm. In conclusion, I would like to state that I am willing to continue to work with the developer on this project as a community member. The developer seemed to be willing to provide the information requested to the community at the last meeting and was willing to continue to work toward a common goal that would satisfy the developer and the community. This summation implies that the developer may not provide the requested information prior to application and that the community has agreed to this fact. This is not correct. The community members clearly expressed concerns that need further clarification prior to supporting this application and left the last meeting expecting these concerns to be addressed by the developer. 12 | Page Appendix 1.

Thursday Sept. 19, 2013 Bethany Bend/Cogburn Technical Meeting. Kathy introduced the staff and the agenda Staff present: Kathy Field (Community Development Director), Robert Buscemi (City Architect), Robyn Macdonald (Principal Planner) and Michele McIntosh-Ross (Principal Planner). Carter Lucas (Public Works Director) would not be present until 8:00pm. Attendees: Sam Baird (Property Owner), Barbara Schippert, Peter and Patti Fredlund, Niraj Kumar, Lacy Kennedy, Patrick McAreaver, Dot Blair, Karen R. , Laura Bentley, Curtis Hicks (Developer), Lynn Lee (Property Owner) Agenda of issues to resolve: Utility service to Dot’s house Storm water management plan (reserved for when Carter Lucas arrives) Architectural styles and controls Buffer/Fence issues Enforcement option under the zoning code Questions/Comments There were immediate questions about the agenda: The sewer line issue was added to the agenda. Niraj wanted to note that he was not present at the previous meeting where the latest site plan was conceded. He is not settled with the notion that the parcels are in a transitional zone, and he also has reservations with the densities. He referenced the blog that he set up. Utility service to Dot’s house Curtis started with addressing the power line issue by explaining that rerouting power lines is dealt with all the time. The new development will be serviced via underground utilities. He will work with Sawnee Electric to put up a temporary pole to provide uninterrupted service to Dot Blair. Dot’s concern was about maintaining a buffer and utility easement for the trucks to service the power line and pole. Curtis committed to locate the power pole with an easement for service trucks to access the pole from his property, and it will be screened. Stormwater management plan Curtis informed that the requirement for stormwater management is that water run-off from the site post development must be 20% less than what is the current run-off. Curtis explained that the new design for detention ponds is a larger earthen natural looking shallow (3 feet deep) pond specifically designed to contain and clean the water before it goes to the streams. The old detention pond design i.e. the kind that exists in the Oakstone Glen subdivision is not acceptable for new construction per the new regulations. Carter added that the new rules promote pond designs that hold higher volumes of water over a longer period of time to prevent downstream erosion. It also detains all storm water in order to filter and improve the water quality of all water passing through its system unlike the old detention pond designs that only detained runoff from larger storms while letting smaller storm amount through unfiltered. The new design can be incorporated into the development as an aesthetic piece and the landscaping becomes part of the water quality. Trees can grow throughout the pond except for at the outlet control structure. Niraj requested that the pond be shifted to the right (east) so that it is not directly behind his house (as shown on the site plan), but directly behind the existing pond that is on his property east of his house. Curtis agreed to consider shifting the pond and will provide pictures of other water quality ponds to give the group an idea of what it would look like. Niraj expressed concern about water saturation on his property. Carter responded that any low points will encourage water towards it via gravity, if there are low point water may collect and be delayed as the natural percolation continues. This may also be due to a spring. The new development would not exacerbate that issue. Dot was concerned about the storm run-off that currently drains from the development site towards her property. Curtis assured that the development will be engineered to redirect that flow to the stormwater pond on the north east end of the development site. A full hydrology study will be done after zoning is awarded during the Land Disturbance Permit (LDP) process. Sewer Lines Curtis explained the idea of having a 6 inch sewer line internal to his development to try to prevent any other neighboring development from being able to tie into sewer via his 6 inch sewer line extension. The assumption is that Fulton County Water and Sewer would allow the use of a 6 inch pipe within the development; and that a 6 inch pipe would be a sufficient deterrent for other sewer taps through that line. Dot was concerned that the topography of the land was not properly considered in the plan for the sewer gravity flow, sighting that 1/3 of the property slopes away from the sewer connection point. Curtis explained that the engineering designs will allow the sewer to flow to the connection point regardless of its topography. Carter added that the pipes can be buried deep enough to make the flow happen. The other deterrent to additional sewer extensions through this development is the placement of a 130 foot wide Passive Greenway Park that will have deed restrictions preventing future sewer easements through the property. Buffer/Fence issues There will be no grading in the park area except for the construction of the sidewalk The 75 foot ‘undisturbed’ buffer will be disturbed to allow for the planting of understory trees and evergreen shrubs to increase the screening. A four board equestrian fence (8 feet max.) wrapped in hog wire will be placed on the property line not inside as previously discussed. Efforts will be made to keep the partial stone wall that exists along the property line, and work the fence around it. No significant trees will be removed in order to build the fence. Since the pond is situated within the 75 foot buffer the adjacent property owner is concerned that he will not have a buffer to the development. Carter explained that this section of the buffer will not be an undisturbed buffer, but that the pond will be screened with trees albeit different trees from the rest of the buffer. Transportation and traffic Carter explained that typically 12 foot deceleration lanes will be required at the entrance of the development. Acceleration lanes are not done anymore and will not be recommended. A traffic light is not planned. Laura wanted to learn how the Bethany Bend intersection improvement project may affect or be affected by the new development. Carter explained that a concept solution has not been determined yet and among the concept ideas, there are none that will impact or be impacted by this development. Architectural styles and controls and Enforcement options under the zoning code Kathy explained that the quality of the homes (assuring the higher price point) will be in the agreement of zoning. The city has architectural guidelines and a review process to make sure the guidelines are being followed. The architectural guidelines that are being followed in Crabapple have increased the price points for the homes. Bob explained that often the original developer set price is adjusted upward based on the positive market response to the show homes. The city requires minimum square footage for the homes and this development will have to adhere to each home being 2,800 – 3,400 square feet each. There are several review points to make sure that all of the conditions of zoning are followed through. Robyn explained the application for rezoning process. Questions/Comments Q: Will the homes be pre-sold or built on speculation? A: Some would be pre-sold and others will be built on speculation. Q: Where will the notation about the 6 inch sewer pipe be? A: This is Fulton County’s jurisdiction. This will not be in the conditions of zoning. But the idea is captured in the meeting notes. Q: How will the conservation area on Cogburn be recorded? A: The city can record a permanent conservation easement Q: Why is the zoning Townhome Residential (TR) being considered and the home will not be attached? TR sounds bad, it has a negative connotation with the neighbors A: This is the zoning category that allows for this product configuration. The city does not have as many zoning categories as some other jurisdictions. The City will look into the zoning category Neighborhood Unit Plan (NUP) to see if the proposed product could fit the category’s specifications without resulting in too many variances. Q: Will these 9 acres be officially removed from the Hwy 9 Visioning Study after this rezoning? A: No Q: Will these 9 acres be rezoned to Form Based Code along with the rest of the Hwy 9 area and be eligible for TDR? A: These 9 acres will not be eligible for TDR. This area as well and the other special area at 5 Acres will get its own T zone with a special set of conditions that will specifically disallow any TDR receiving. Q: Will there be restrictions of rentals? A: Yes, no more than 10% of homes can be rented at any one time will be in the HOA agreements as well as multiple family dwelling restrictions.

Participants included: Dan Giglia, Judy and Brent Sanderson, Julianne Hornsby, Elizabeth Yancey, Annette Donavan, Derek Bachan, Sharon and Marissa Segler, Tony and Debbie Stewart, Ginger Smith, Billy Carman, Lynn, Mary Swanson, Hamid Sadri, Alex Mehmandoost, Mark Blackwell. Facilitator: Michael Elliott. Review of Visioning Process The history and current status of the visioning process was described as follows. The initial design for the visioning process was to encompass the full length of Rte. 9 and its proximate areas. The area considered in Phase 1, however, was limited to south of Bethany Bend, in large part because the Atlanta Regional Commission provided for a Livable Centers Initiative grant to cover the cost of planning, and LCI grants are generally provided to plan for activity centers rather than for linear corridors (see Figure 1 below). The grant was issued in FY 2011 and the resulting plan (prepared by Urban Collage) was completed in April 2012 (Highway 9/GA 400 Area Master Plan). The plan is now being implemented. 1 LCI Boundaries for the Southern Section of Route 9 2 | Page Following completion of the LCI planning process, the city’s Community Development Department began a process of visioning focusing on the area to the north of Bethany Bend (see figure 2 below). This process was modeled on the approach used in the LCI, with a Stakeholder Group comprising of many of the same individuals who had constituted the LCI Stakeholder group, with city planning staff managing the process. During the initial meetings of the Stakeholder Group and the corresponding public meetings, it became clear that two sections of the Rte. 9 North area were of particular concern to residents of the nearby community. One of these was the section near Five Acres. The city therefore invited residents of the area to form a stakeholder group for more detailed discussions about this area. A facilitator was hired to work with members of the group to develop a vision acceptable to the various parties. The facilitator interviewed the participants before meeting. Tonight’s meeting was the first one of the group meetings. 2 Planning Area for the North Section of Rte. 9 Envisioning the Future of Rte. 9 Near Five Acres The remainder of the meeting focused on issues associated with the future of Rte. 9 near Five Acres. Based on interviews conducted by the facilitator, a list of concerns, issues and interests was posted for consideration. These included 1) Interests: a) Traffic and safety along Rte. 9 (street is busy, and egress onto the highway is difficult and dangerous) 3 | Page b) Character of the area (existing residents seek to maintain the forested/residential character of the land around them, in order to maintain privacy, to keep noise and lights from intruding onto their land, and for aesthetic reasons related to the look and feel of the community; this also includes the look and feel of Five Acres Road as an entrance into a residential subdivision) c) Property values (of interest to both the residents of the area concerning home values and the owners of property adjacent to Rte. 9.) d) School bus access and safety e) Ensuring that any agreement that is reached is binding f) Maintaining the character of Milton 2) Other Concerns and Issues: a) The potential for redevelopment, both under existing zoning and with potential changes b) Best ways to manage change/growth responsibly c) The extent of legal rights held by the various property owners and their implications d) How the history of this area over the past 20 years affects concerns of current residents and owners. Several of these issues were discussed in more detail. In particular: 1) What types of development are appropriate on Rte. 9? Current residents generally preferred that Rte. 9 remain agricultural or residential, in keeping with the the subdivisions located in this section of the highway. There was also a recognition that Rte. 9 has already changed in ways that makes residential uses right on the highway less desirable, given that it is an increasingly heavily trafficked highway. 2) There was general agreement that neither the intensive development found in Crabapple nor strip shopping centers are appropriate for this section of Rte. 9, because of the aesthetics, density and scale of such developments and because of their impact on traffic. 3) Commercial and office buildings, if they were appropriately designed to fit into the residential character of the community in terms of scale, building materials, design, buffers, and landscaping, might be an appropriate use, but this requires further consideration. 4) Entrances to existing subdivisions are especially important. In particular, the entrance to Five Acres Subdivision is along Five Acres Road. The character of the road at its entrance sets the look and feel for the entire subdivision, and needs to be appropriately designed for residential use. 5) Traffic is of significant concern, especially since this section of Rte. 9 is on a curve. Entering traffic is already problematic and a safety concern. The impact and timing of changes being considered by the Georgia Department of Transportation was seen as important, but unpredictable. It was unclear how, or if, the city could act to make the situation better on their own. 4 | Page 6) Issues of trust and the predicatability of future change were discussed in various ways. Historically, these issues were discussed in light of whether or not the Five Acres subdivision had covenants and how that might affect use of the four 2‐acre parcels located on Rte. 9, the aborted effort by Fulton County to locate a landfill on what is now the Crooked Creek subdivision, the manner in which the Outrageous Bargains store was approved, and the permanency of the existing zoning and whether it should change as conditions in the community change. In general, many of the residents had lived in their homes for 10 to 30 years, and the overall growth in the area has significantly altered the character of the community. It is no longer rural. More immediately, issues of trust and predicatability was discussed in light of current disagreements about how the land fronting Rte. 9 should be used, and differences in perception as to whether any of the property owners on Rte. 9 had verbally committed to using the property for residential purposes. These issues were clearly strongly felt by the participants, in various ways. While perceptions of these events varied, participants came to the conclusion that the process of visioning and planning for the area could best be done by focusing on the practical problems of future development and change in a respectful and pragmatic manner, and that if the participants can jointly agree to a mutually acceptable pattern of land use, design and development, that any agreements reached will need to have assurances as to how they will be implemented, such that implementation leads to predictable results. Questions of Fact Several questions of fact came up during the discussion. These should be clarified before the next meeting. These include: 1) Legal Framework a) What is the zoning of the 4 2‐acre Five Acre Subdivision parcels (R2 or AG1) and of the adjacent parcels? b) Does the Five Acres Subdivision have covenants and, if so, are they currently enforcable? c) Does the city currently have codes that govern the character of commercial properties and, if so, what are they? 2) Rte. 9 a) Has a traffic safety study been conducted for this section of Rte. 9 and, if so, is it available? b) What is the current status of the GA Department of Transportation’s review of Rte. 9? 3) B & B Tool Company is a manufacturing use first established in the 1970s. It seems as though the zoning has changed since B & B was established. What is the zoning? If it has been changed, what rights to conduct business are grandfathered in? In particular, if Rte. 9 is widened and the building needs to be changed, is that possible? 5 | Page Next Steps Participants agreed to meet again to focus on possible options for future development that would meet the interests of the various stakeholders in the group. Between now and the next meeting, the facilitator will work with Derek Bachan and Tony Stewart (residents) and the various Rte. 9 property owners to develop a few options for consideration. The objective is to develop options that meet the interests of the various stakeholders as outlined above. 1 | Page Rte. 9 Visioning Process Five Acres Area Stakeholder Group Meeting 2 June 25, 2013 Introductions Participants introduced themselves.

Facilitator: Michael Elliott. Interests and Concerns of Stakeholders Concerning Rte. 9 Near Five Acres Concerns, issues and interests discussed in the first meeting were reviewed as a basis for developing and discussing alternatives.These included 1) Traffic and safety along Rte. 9 (street is busy, and egress onto the highway is difficult and dangerous) 2) Character of the area (existing residents seek to maintain the forested/residential character of the land around them, in order to maintain privacy, to keep noise and lights from intruding onto their land, and for aesthetic reasons related to the look and feel of the community; this also includes the look and feel of Five Acres Road as an entrance into a residential subdivision) 3) Property values (of interest to both the residents of the area concerning home values and the owners of property adjacent to Rte. 9.) 4) School bus access and safety 5) Ensuring that any agreement that is reached is binding 6) Maintaining the character of Milton 7) The potential for redevelopment, both under existing zoning and with potential changes 8) Best ways to manage change/growth responsibly Options The meeting participants discussed a series of options associated with redevelopment along Route 9. These included: 1) Entrance to properties located on Route 9 a) Entrance and egress to lots will be from Rte. 9 2 | Page b) Entrances to Rte 9 will be shared between adjoining property owners whenever feasible. In the case of the two pairs of properties on either side of Five Acres Road, each pair will share a single entrance/egress. 2) The character of Five Acres Road a) Five Acres Road will be designed for its role as the entrance to Five Acres Subdivision. b) No property other than single family housing will have an entrance onto Five Acres Road c) A landscaped buffer will be maintained to block views of the redeveloped properties from Five Acres Road. d) We discussed whether the 18‐feet right‐of‐way along Five Acres Road could be planted (after the meeting, a check with city officials indicated that the ROW cannot be planted). e) The width of the buffer and its landscaping was discussed, without agreement as to what is appropriate. Options ranged from 12 feet (which assumed that at least part of the ROW could be planted) to 50 feet (which assumed that the forest cover would be left as is). The city arborist will be contacted for further ideas. f) An entrance to the subdivision at the start of Five Acres Road will be designed and constructed. A simple design was discussed, using horse fencing similar to the one in front of the Sanderson’s home and a wooden entrance sign (a picture was passed around). The sign will be located near the entrance to the road from Rte 9. Alex volunteered to build this. 3) Buffers between lots located on Route 9 and their residential neighbors a) Redeveloped properties will maintain a 50’ buffer along their property lines with residentially zoned neighbors. b) The buffer will be primarily undisturbed forest, with more dense vegetation and/or fencing along the interior edge of the buffer if the natural vegetation is insufficient to block sightlines to the redevelopment from existing residential properties. 4) Density and scale of buildings a) Development will be capped at 10,000 square feet per acre of land b) Buildings will be one or two stories tall. 5) Appearance of buildings a) Buildings will be designed to fit well with the residential character of the area. b) Design elements such as peaked roofs, massing, windows, doors, and building materials will be used to enhance building styles appropriate to the area. c) These elements will be incorporated into form‐based codes. 6) Management of building accessories a) Detention ponds (if used) and dumpsters will be hidden from view. b) Landscaping elements will be included around parking lots and buildings 3 | Page 7) Permitted uses: a) Residential i) Single family ii) Duplex iii) Cluster housing iv) Townhomes b) Office c) Live/work d) Retail; bank e) Gyms f) Assisted living 8) Disallowed uses: a) Automobile services, including gas stations b) Hotels c) Kennels d) Convenience stores e) Traditional shopping centers f) Drive through restaurants g) Nursing homes and hospitals 9) Two classes of uses continue to be of concern largely because of their potential to create noise that will affect neighbors a) Restaurants, especially ones that allow for outdoor seating b) Day care and schools because they require outdoor recreation and playgrounds Next Steps The facilitator will work with city officials, including the City Arborist, Public Works, etc., to resolve some of the remaining issues. The next meeting will focus on resolving these final issues and clarifying implementation. 1 | Page Rte. 9 Visioning Process Five Acres Area Stakeholder Group Meeting 3 July 17, 2013 Introductions Participants introduced themselves. Participants included: Hamid Sadri, Judy and Brent Sanderson, Billy Carman, Elizabeth Yancey, Janet Bryant, Ginger Smith, Tony and Debbie Stewart, Mary Swanson, Derek Bachan, Kari Hines, Marilyn Phillips, Scott Hornsby, Julianne Hornsby, and Alex Mehmandoost. City officials included: Michele McIntosh‐Ross and Kathy Field. Facilitator: Michael Elliott. Options and Their Implementation The meeting participants discussed a series of options associated with redevelopment along Route 9, as generated from the second meeting. Approaches to implementing these options were also discussed. The results of these discussions are as follows: First, as illustrated in Figure 1 below, buffers and entrance/egress requirements will be used to protect residential properties from sightlines and noise associated with new, nonresidential development. 2 | Page Figure 1. Site plan of properties located within Five Acres Subdivision and along Rte. 9, showing buffers, landscaping, entrances, fencing, and entrance sign/monument location. 3 | Page Figure 1 shows the following: 1) Entrance/egress to properties located on Route 9 will be from Rte. 9 for any use other than residential. 2) Entrances to Rte 9 will be shared between adjoining property owners whenever feasible. In particular, given their relatively small acreage, each of the two pairs of properties on either side of Five Acres Road will share a single entrance/egress. 3) Five Acres Road will be designed for its role as the entrance to Five Acres Subdivision. a) No property other than single family housing will have an entrance onto Five Acres Road b) A landscaped buffer will be maintained to block views of the redeveloped properties from Five Acres Road. A 20’ landscape strip will be planted with dense plantings, including evergreens, so that commercial properties are not visible from Five Acres Road. Landscaping buffer standards will be included as part of the zone, w/evergreens spaced to block views in all four seasons and deciduous trees included for aesthetics. Existing trees within the buffer will need to be removed in order to enable this more densely planted landscape. These are illustrated in Figures 2, 3 and 4 below. Figure 2. Example of dense landscaping. 4 | Page Figure 3. Second example of dense landscaping. Figure 4. Picture of dense landscaping, screening a residential street (shown) from commercial properties. c) The landscaped buffer along Five Acres Road will be fronted by horse fencing similar to the one in front of the Sanderson’s home and used throughout Milton. 4) Natural landscaped buffers will be preserved between lots located on Route 9 and their residential neighbors 5 | Page a) The buffer will be primarily undisturbed forest, with more dense vegetation and/or fencing along the interior edge of the buffer if the natural vegetation is insufficient to block sightlines to the redevelopment from existing residential properties. Any disturbance will be to landscape standards set by the city. b) Redeveloped properties of less than 4 acres will maintain a 50’ buffer along their property lines with residentially zoned neighbors. Properties of 4 or more acres will maintain a 75’ buffer. c) A 10’ improvement setback from the buffer will be maintained to protect the root system of trees. All of the elements presented in 1 through 4 above will be implemented through form‐ based code, with agreement from Department of Public Works for design of entrances to roads. 5) An entrance to the subdivision at the start of Five Acres Road will be designed and constructed. An entrance sign/monument will be located near the south corner of Five Acres Road and Rte 9 (as shown on Figure 1). The entrance will be built by mutual agreement between the residents of Five Acres Subdivision and Alex Mehmandoost (owner of the parcel on the south corner of Five Acres Road and Route 9). Residents will raise funds to build the entrance sign/monument, as illustrated in figure 5 below. Simpler designs had previously been discussed and pictures of potential designs were passed around at the meeting (see Figure 6).1 The subdivision will pay for the construction of the sign/monument. Alex will donate an easement for building the sign/monument within the 20’ landscape buffer (again, as shown in Figure 1). Construction of the sign/monument will occur at the time of installation of the landscape buffer or earlier if mutually agreed upon. The details of the sign/monument and the easement will be worked out between Alex and the subdivision residents 1 Note, the Department of Community Development looked further into Milton ordinances concerning signs and monuments following the meeting. Per Milton sign ordinances, the Five Acre Subdivision entrance sign/monument cannot exceed 32 square feet with a maximum height of 6 feet, with the base of the sign being the same width as the rest of the sign. Also, it will need to be installed prior to the Form Based Code being adopted so that it will be a grandfathered non‐conforming use. The simpler signs conform to form based codes and therefore could be constructed at any time. 6 | Page Figure 5. Examples of subdivision entrance monument. Figure 6. Examples of subdivision entrance signs. . 7 | Page 6) Development will be capped at 10,000 square feet per gross acre of land. 7) Buildings will be designed to fit well with the residential character of the area. a) Buildings will be one or two stories tall. b) Design elements such as peaked roofs, massing, windows, doors, and building materials will be used to enhance building styles appropriate to the area. c) Underground detention of stormwater is stongly preferred to surface detention pond. Ponds (if used) will be screened from view. d) Dumpsters and other accessory features will be hidden from view. e) Landscaping elements will be included around parking lots and buildings. Elements presented in 6 and 7 above will be incorporated into form‐based codes. In addition, site and building designs for commercial or multifamily redevelopments will be reviewed by the Design Review Board for consistency with code standards. The design review process is open to public comment. The standards that will be applied to this area will be consistent with the Deerfield codes previously developed by the city (see attached for a summary of the codes). 8) For the four parcels located in the Five Acres Subdivision, permitted uses will include: a) Residential i) Single family ii) Duplex iii) Cluster housing iv) Townhomes b) Office c) Live/work d) Retail, including banking e) Gyms f) Assisted living g) Restaurants without outdoor seating 9) All other uses are excluded. These exclusions include: a) Automobile services, including gas stations b) Hotels c) Kennels d) Convenience stores e) Traditional shopping centers (disallowed because traditional shopping centers do not conform to form based design standards) f) Drive through restaurants g) Nursing homes and hospitals 8 | Page h) Day care and schools (since they require outdoor play areas that are noisy) for parcels 10) The treatment of restaurants with outdoor seating remains unclear. Several options were discussed, including a) Limiting outdoor seating to a small (10% of building square feet) area, b) Limiting outdoor seating to the front (facing Route 9) of the building only, c) Setting a minimum distance from the nearest residential building, d) Requiring that the seating be on the opposite side of the building from the nearest residence if within the minmum distance, and/or e) Preventing live music from being played outdoors (possibly through liquor licence provisions)2. The city will look into this further and try to develop a way to simultaneously manage noise while allowing for some outdoor seating3. Next Steps No more meetings are planned for the Five Acres Subarea Visioning Process. Once a similar process being held for the Bethany Bend Subarea is completed, the results of both subarea processes will be integrated into the Route 9 Corridor Visioning Process, which includes the entire planning area north of Bethany Bend (see Figure 7). Figure 7. Route 9 Visioning Process Boundaries 2 The City has determined that the liquor license cannot be used to limit live music. 3 The recommended solution (developed by the Department of Community Development) is to limit outdoor seating to 10% of the building’s area, to be located to the front (facing Route 9) or side of the building only and being a minimum distance of 200 feet from any single family residential structure. 9 | Page The final vision developed by the Route 9 Corridor Visioning Process will incorporate the two subarea visions and be made part of the final draft plan for the corridor. This plan will then be presented to the community for their input. The resultant report will be published, and then reviewed by Milton’s Planning Commission and City Council. Following approval of the vision and plan by the Commission and Council, the Department of Community Development will develop the form based zoning code needed to implement the vision and plan. The ordinance will include special chapters for special use areas. The form based code will then go through the same review and approval process as the Vision and Plan. The current timetable is for the plan to be completed this fall, with the zoning ordinance being completed by spring.
