PURPOSE Social media websites provide an opportunity for individuals to interact with people throughout the world. Given the multitude of concerns (legal, political, and ethical) raised by social networking (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) this policy establishes prudent and acceptable practices regarding usage of social networking by City of Milton officials and employees. While the City of Milton encourages its personnel to enjoy and make good use of their off-duty time, certain activities on the part of its personnel may become a problem if they have the effect of: impairing the work of any official or employee; harassing, demeaning, or creating a hostile working environment; disrupting the smooth and orderly flow of work; or harming the goodwill and reputation of the City among its citizens or in the community. For these reasons, the City reminds its personnel (officials, appointed board members and employees) that the following guidelines apply in their use of social media, both on and off duty. Under this policy, the City disavows, and is not responsible for, any sites, posts, opinions, or content not coordinated through and approved by the City Manager or his/her designee. If City personnel post data purporting or implying to be on behalf of the City while using a social media site without the approval of the City Manager or his/her designee, the City is not responsible for that content, such content is not to be construed as reflecting the views or opinions of the Mayor, City Council or other City management, and the City is not responsible for archiving such content in accordance with applicable records retention schedules, or providing copies in accordance with the Georgia Open Records Act. Furthermore, the absence of explicit reference to a particular site does not limit the extent of the application of this policy. If you are uncertain as to the propriety of a post, opinion or other content, consult your department head before proceeding. B. GENERAL GUIDELINES 1. While on duty, the use of City equipment or internet service by personnel must be limited to work-related tasks. Social media activities should never interfere with work commitments. 2. No personnel may post online content as a representative of the City, or on the City’s behalf, without the City Manager or his/her designee’s approval. 3. If discussing City-related issues, but not posting online content as an approved representative of the City or on the City’s behalf, all personnel must make it clear that they are speaking for themselves, and not on behalf of the City by displaying a disclaimer that states: “This is my own opinion and not necessarily an opinion or position held by the City of Milton, t he Mayor or the City Council.” 4. Employees who choose to maintain or participate in social media or social networking platforms while off-duty shall conduct themselves with professionalism and in such a manner Social Networking Policy Page 2 of 5 that will not reflect negatively upon the City. Be aware of your City of Milton association in online social networks. If you identify yourself as a City of Milton employee or have a public facing position for which your City of Milton association is known to the general public, ensure your online profile and related content (even if it is of a personal and not an official nature) is consistent with how you wish to present yourself as a City of Milton professional, appropriate with the public trust associated with your position. C. GUIDELINES FOR OFFICIAL CITY SOCIAL MEDIA SITES AND CONTENT 1. All City-sanctioned social media sites shall be maintained by the City Manager or his/her designee. Any content to be posted on City-sanctioned social media sites must meet the approval of the City Manager or his/her designee before it is posted. 2. All personnel that engage in social media activities on the City’s behalf and all City- sanctioned social media sites shall adhere to applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and policies, including the Georgia Open Records Act and the records retention schedules issued by the Georgia Archives. All content must be managed, stored and retrieved to comply with these laws. 3. All online content posted as representative of the City, or on the City’s behalf, shall clearly indicate that it is subject to the records retention schedules issued by the Georgia Archives and public disclosure pursuant to the Georgia Open Records Act. All City-sanctioned social media sites shall clearly indicate that any articles and any other content posted or submitted for posting are subject to the aforementioned records retention schedules and public disclosure. Note, for purposes of this Policy each individual posting does not need the aforementioned disclaimer when such disclaimer is clearly posted on a social network sit e that contains the disclaimer in a readily accessible area of the site. 4. Any content posted as representative of the City, or content posted to a City-sanctioned social media site containing any of the following, shall not be allowed: a.

Use common sense when using personal social media sites. Remember that what you write is public, may be public for a long time, and has the propensity to spread to large audiences. Employees should refrain from posting information that they would not want their supervisor or other employees to read or that they would be embarrassed to see in the newspaper or on television. The City expects its employees to be truthful, courteous, an d respectful toward supervisors, co-workers, citizens, customers, and other persons associated with the City. Employees shall not engage in name-calling or personal attacks or other such demeaning behavior. Social Networking Policy Page 4 of 5 2. Employees may use social media on their own time and using their own equipment, and may use social media to express their thoughts or ideas as long as they do not negatively impact the City of Milton’s policies or business. To ensure the City of Milton’s safety, operational fluidity, and public trust, the list below provides guidelines on prohibited conduct on an employee’s personal social media site. The list is not meant to be an exhaustive list of all prohibited conduct for personal social media use, but rather a guideline on forms of speech that are not protected under the First Amendment or allowed by the City of Milton: o Hate speech or libelous speech as such is defined by local, state or federal law; o Sexually harassing speech as such is defined by local, state or federal law; o Statements, photographs, video or audio that reasonably could be viewed as malicious, obscene, threatening or intimidating, or that might constitute harassment or bullying. Examples of such conduct include, but are not limited to, offensive posts meant to intentionally harm someone's reputation or posts that could contribute to a hostile work environment on the basis of race, sex, disability, religion or any other status protected by law; o Obscenity prohibited by local, state or federal law; o Fighting words, extortion, and other threats prohibited by local, state or federal law; o Disclosure of private health or financial information protected by local, state or federal law; o Disclosure of other confidential information protected by local, state or federal law; o Disclosure of confidential information gained during the course and scope of employment that compromises the safety of others; o Disclosure of information obtained from emergency dispatches—such as, personal health information, financial information, or private family information received in a dispatch; o On-duty or off-duty speech that compromises City investigations and the applicable department’s mission; and o All other speech prohibited by local, state or federal law not mentioned in this list. 3. Officials and employees agree to avoid persistent and unwelcome posts, pictures, audio, video or any other communication that harasses another co-worker, vendor or other third party. There is zero tolerance for any harassing communications to a co -worker, vendor or other third party based on race, sex, religion, creed, ancestry, national origin, age, disability, marital status, or other protected classification by state or federal law. Users also agree not to violate local, state or federal harassment laws. All employees are hereby notified they may be personally liable for social media harassment. To report violations of this provision, please refer to the City’s harassment policy which shall govern all harassing communications. 4. Officials and employees are not allowed to use their personal social media sites to display any video, audio, pictures, confidential work data, writings, logos or any other communications that identify their employment with the City of Milton. Where applicable, officials and employees are allowed to identify themselves as an employee of the City of Milton, however, if commenting on issues, but not posting online content as an approved representative of the City or on the City’s behalf, all personnel must make it clear that they are speaking for themselves, and not on behalf of the City by displaying a disclaimer that Social Networking Policy Page 5 of 5 states: “This is my own opinion and not necessarily an opinion or position held by the City of Milton, the Mayor or the City Council.” In no situation shall officials or employees insinuate that the City of Milton endorses or authorizes the employee’s personal website, blog or private social network account. Additionally, no one is to directly or indirectly suggest that the City of Milton endorses a commercial service or product. 5. Personal or business venture social media account names shall not be tied to the City. For example, CityofMiltonEmployee would not be an appropriate personal account name or “handle” for a social media account. 6. Employees, City contract employees, and City volunteers shall not use their City email account or password in conjunction with a personal social networking site. 7. To others online, there is no clear distinction between your work life and your personal life. Always be honest and respectful in both capacities. Any violation of this policy is subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.

The site is heavily vegetated with Chicken Creek as the north property line. In addition, there are steep slopes going from the south toward the creek. SITE PLAN ANALYSIS Based on the applicant’s site plan submitted to the Community Development Department on October 1, 2014, Staff offers the following considerations: In the applicant’s letter of intent received by the Community Development Department on October 1, 2014, it indicates that the applicant seeks a Use Permit for an artist studio within the existing 3,296 square foot metal building. The applicant is also requesting a concurrent variance to allow outside storage. In addition, the letter states that the proposed hours of operation would not exceed 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The applicant also states that there are no additional structures or additional impervious areas for the permit. The intent is to preserve the agricultural customs of the area, as the artist uses traditional blacksmithing techniques to create his artwork. Artist Studio (Section 64-1843) Required Standard Meets the Standard 1. No outside storage allowed. No, see Concurrent Variance Request VC14-03 2. Shall not generate traffic, sound, smell, vibration, light, or dust that is offensive so as to constitute a nuisance. Yes 3.a. The artist shall reside on the property. Yes The 3.b. The number of employees who can work on the premises shall be determined by the mayor and city council. When evaluating the proposed number of employees, the size of the property and buildings shall be considered in proportion to the number of proposed employees and/or adjacent uses. 2 employees 3.c. Only articles or goods produced, assembled, processed or manufactured on the site shall be sold or exhibited in the studio or on the property. Yes 3.d. The minimum lot size for a studio to be located within an accessory structure shall be determined by the mayor and city council. When evaluating if a studio can be located within an accessory structure, the size of the property in proportion to the size of the accessory structure shall be considered. The property is 7.9 acres and the workshop is 3,296 square feet. The size of the property is more than large enough to accommodate the accessory structure. 7. T 3.e. An accessory structure may contain bathroom facilities and running water. There is no bathroom or running water in the workshop. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the City of Milton Mayor and Council Meeting on February 2, 2015 (First Presentation). 2/12/2015 U14-03/VC14-03 Page 9 of 16 3.f. No person may reside within the accessory structure used as a studio. There will be no one residing in the accessory structure. A s 3.g. A studio located within the primary residence, shall not exceed the smaller of 25 percent of the gross floor area of the dwelling unit or 750 square feet. Does not apply. 3.h. If applicable, hours for customers to visit the studio and deliveries shall be limited to 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. No, See discussion below. Hours of operation: Mon-Fri – 8 a.m. to 6 p.m; Sat . and Sun – 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Deliveries: Mon-Fri – 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Discussion of Use Permit Standards The applicant does have outside storage and therefore does not meet the standard. The following concurrent variance is being requested. VC14-03 – To allow outside storage (Sec. 64-1843(b)(1)) The proposed site plan indicates outside storage on the north side of the workshop building which would keep the materials out of sight, as it does not have exposure to any other buildings adjoining the property. There is heavy vegetation on the site and the property is higher in elevation and therefore cannot be seen. In addition, the sizes of the sculptures that are created require large pieces of metal that are too large to be placed within the workshop. It is Staff’s opinion that this request meets the following considerations for the concurrent variance. (1) Relief, if granted, would not offend the spirit or intent of this zoning ordinance; (2) There are such extraordinary and exceptional situations or conditions pertaining to the particular piece of property that the literal or strict application of this zoning ordinance would create an unnecessary hardship due to size, shape or topography or other extraordinary and exceptional situations or conditions not caused by the variance applicant; (3) Relief, if granted would not cause a substantial detriment to the public good and surrounding properties; and (4) That the public safety, health and welfare are secured, and that substantial justice is done. Therefore, Staff recommends that VC14-03 be APPROVED. Staff notes that during the CZIM meeting and the DRB meeting, the adjacent property owner to the south was in attendance stating that they experienced vibrations within their home while the applicant’s hammer was in operation. Based on this input, the DRB recommended that the applicant install additional insulation to the building and to allow Staff to conduct sound readings. The Prepared by the Community Development Department for the City of Milton Mayor and Council Meeting on February 2, 2015 (First Presentation). 1/29/2015 U14-03/VC14-03 Page 10 of 16 applicant also indicated that he would install pads under the hammer to decrease the vibration that runs through the subterranean granite. Since the time of the DRB meeting in November, based on the DRB’s recommendation to defer the item to allow Staff to cond uct sound readings, the applicant installed additional insulation on the south wall of the workshop and pads to decrease the vibration. The City of Milton Code Enforcement Officer, Deidre Jones and Robyn MacDonald were on site with the applicant and their representative to test the noise levels and vibration. Sound tests were conducted at two locations on the property line, one being the closest to the home to the south and the other further to the west where Highgrove Subdivision is currently under construction. In both instances, the DBA did not exceed the allowable 65 DBA at the property line. In addition, Staff did not feel any vibrations at those same locations while the hammer was in operation. Therefore, it is Staff’s opinion that the operation of the equipment used by the applicant does not generate traffic, sound, smell, vibration, light, or dust that is offensive so as to constitute a nuisance. The applicant has submitted the following regarding hours of operation, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and deliveries as noted in the chart above. The proposed hours during the weekdays and weekend are longer than the Use Permit Standards permit and are not conducive to the surrounding area. Therefore, Staff recommends that the hours of operation be limited to 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and 12 noon to 5:00 pm. on Sunday. These hours will be reflected in the Recommended Conditions. Rural Milton Overlay District The proposed site plan meets the requirements of the Rural Milton Overlay District as required pursuant to Sec. 64-1144. City Arborist The proposed Use Permit will not impact any specimen trees based on the fact that there will be no improvements to the site. Fire Marshal The Fire Marshal and Building Official have made an on-site visit and have determined that the existing workshop can meet fire code and building code requirements. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the City of Milton Mayor and Council Meeting on February 2, 2015 (First Presentation). 1/29/2015 U14-03/VC14-03 Page 11 of 16 Environmental Site Analysis The Environmental Site Analysis (ESA) report was completed as required by the Zoning Ordinance. On the site, there is floodplain, Chicken Creek and its associated buffers and slopes of 25 percent or greater. In addition there are specimen trees but they will not be impacted by the proposed use. There is no endangered vegetation or wildlife on the site. Public Involvement Community Zoning Information Meeting On October 28, 2014 the applicant was present at the Community Zoning Information Meeting held at the Milton City Hall. There were five people in attendance at the meeting. The following issues were brought up at the meeting:  Hours of operation.  Noise level of the work in the shop.  The vibration from the operation of the work in the shop. City of Milton Design Review Board Meeting Courtesy Review – November 4, 2014 The following comments were made at the meeting:  Good example of home business; no reason to not go forward with the business.  Applicant should do some kind of sound proofing on the metal building.  Suggest that we defer until we can get a definite answer as to what the noise levels are. Applicant shall have the noise/vibration levels tested and return to the DRB for the January meeting. City of Milton Design Review Board Meeting Courtesy Review – January 6, 2015 The following comments were made at the meeting:  The applicant added padding under the hammer, and added insulation to the building. Staff observed the sound tests while the equipment was in operation. The noise level generated by the equipment in operation is less than City maximums, as measured at the property lines. Also, they encountered no vibration from the machinery.  Applicant has met the Design Review Board’s requests. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the City of Milton Mayor and Council Meeting on February 2, 2015 (First Presentation). 1/29/2015 U14-03/VC14-03 Page 12 of 16 Public Participation Plan and Report The applicant submitted the Public Participation Report on January 13, 2015. The public participation meeting was held on October 30, 2014 from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the offices of Brumbelow-Reese Surveying on Hwy 9. There were no attendees at the meeting. USE PERMIT CONSIDERATIONS In the interest of the public health, safety and welfare, the Mayor and City Council may exercise limited discretion in evaluating the site proposed for a use that requires a Use Permit. In exercising such discretion pertaining to the subject use, the Mayor and City Council shall consider each of the following as outlined in Sec. 64-1552 of the Zoning Ordinance: Use Permit Considerations. Staff has reviewed said items pertaining to the subject use, and, offers the following comments: 1. Whether the proposed use is consistent with the land use or economic development plans adopted by the Mayor and City Council: The proposed development is located in the Low Density Residential (LDR) land use category on the City of Milton 2030 Comprehensive Plan Map. The proposed use permit is permitted in the AG-1 (Agricultural) district which is an acceptable zoning district for the LDR land use category. In addition, the following Plan Policies are consistent with the proposed use: “We will support programs that retain, expand and create businesses that provide a good fit for our community’s economy in terms of job skills required and links to existing businesses and locate them appropriately within the City.” “We will encourage the preservation of natural resources areas and preserve contiguous green open spaces development of land in appropriate designated areas as development occurs.” Compatibility with land uses and zoning districts in the vicinity of the property for which the use permit is proposed: The subject site is adjacent to Chicken Creek to the north, Stars Soccer Complex pursuant to U98-64 to the east. To the south are scattered single family residences and to the west is Highgrove Subdivision under construction zoned CUP (Community Unit Plan) with minimum one acre lots. It is Staff’s opinion that the proposed Artist Studio is compatible with adjacent and nearby properties if approved with the Recommended Conditions. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the City of Milton Mayor and Council Meeting on February 2, 2015 (First Presentation). 1/29/2015 U14-03/VC14-03 Page 13 of 16 2. Whether the proposed use may violate local, state and/or federal statutes, ordinances or regulations governing land development: The proposed use does not appear to violate any ordinances or regulations governing land development if the concurrent variance is approved. 3. The effect of the proposed use on traffic flow, vehicular and pedestrian, along adjoining streets: The proposed use’s effect on the traffic flow, vehicular and pedestrian, along adjoining streets should be minimal as the proposed use has only two employees, limited customers to the location and limited deliveries. 4. The location and number of off-street parking spaces; The required number of parking spaces is one space per 1,000 square feet. Based on this requirement, a total of 3 parking spaces are required. There is sufficient space on the existing concrete driveway to provide the required parking. In addition, the parking will not be seen from Birmingham Highway. 5. The amount and location of open space: The proposed site provides for a large area of open space which surrounds the workshop. 6. Protective screening: The Use Permit development standards for an artist studio or the Rural Milton Overlay District do not require protective screening. 7.

Page 7 of 10 ZM15-01 - Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on February 18, 2015 (First Presentation February 2, 2014) Background and History The Mayor and City Council approved a Use Permit for an event facility in January 2014. The proposed event facility allowed only the existing structures and no other structures to be built or enlarged. In addition, the maximum number of guests permitted was 150. Since the time of the approved use permit, Mr. Runner has been working with the City Staff to design the necessary sprinkler system within the large house that is to be utilized as the primary area for the events. CZIM Meeting on January 27, 2015 The applicant was present at the meeting but there were no community members or neighbors in attendance. Requested Modifications Proposed Modification Request – To modify condition 2.a. to include a 40x60 pavilion on the site plan (Approved pursuant to U13-04 on January 22, 2014)) The applicant has requested in the letter of intent dated January 19, 2015 to replace the original site plan approved pursuant to U13-04 with a revised site plan submitted to the Community Development Department on January 6, 2015. This site plan proposes to include a 40’x60’ pavilion. The applicant has stated the following reasons for the change in the letter of intent: “Although our plans are to have most of the events inside the house, we do plan to allow a few outside events. We would rather build a nice looking pavilion in which to hold the outside events, rather than erect tents. Additionally, we have discovered that if we serve food in the house then we have to install a full commercial sprinkler system, which is very expensive and requires extensive modifications to the house. If we don’t serve food, then a residential system in the assembly areas are all that is required. This system is far less expensive, utilizes the existing water system, and is not any way near as intrusive to the facility. For those events in the house that will be serving food, the food will be served in the pavilion and then the rest of the event will be held inside the house.” The following are the existing and proposed conditions: EXISTING Condition 2.a – To the revised site plan received by the Community Development Department on September 26, 2013. Said site plan is conceptual only and must meet or exceed the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, all other applicable City ordinances and these conditions prior to the approval of a Land Disturbance Permit. In the event the Recommended Conditions of Zoning cause the approved site plan to be substantially different, the applicant shall be required to complete the concept review procedure prior to application for a Land Disturbance Permit. Unless otherwise noted Page 8 of 10 ZM15-01 - Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on February 18, 2015 (First Presentation February 2, 2014) herein, compliance with all conditions shall be in place prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy. PROPOSED Condition 2.a- To the revised site plan received by the Community Development Department on January 6, 2015. Said site plan is conceptual only and must meet or exceed the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, all other applicable City ordinances and these conditions prior to the approval of a Land Disturbance Permit. In the event the Recommended Conditions of Zoning cause the approved site plan to be substantially different, the applicant shall be required to complete the concept review procedure prior to application for 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 proposed pavilion (with no walls) located between the house and Hopewell Road with the additional pasture between the pavilion and Hopewell Road also owned by Mr. Runner should not have a negative impact on the Bethany Oaks Subdivision located further to the east. In addition, by building a permanent structure and not utilizing tents, the overall appearance of the site will be maintained. Therefore, Staff recommends that Condition 2. a. be APPROVED to include a pavilion as depicted on the revised site plan submitted on January 6, 2015. Proposed Modification Request - 1.c. To increase the number of guests from 150 to 250. The applicant has requested in the letter of intent dated January 19, 2015 to increase the number of guests from 150 to 250 which was approved pursuant to U13-04. The applicant has stated the following reasons for the change in the letter of intent: “During the hearing for the original application we stated that an event with 150 to 160 people was the maximum size we would like to host on our property. However, when speaking with prospective clients we have discovered that many of them have an invitation list of around 200 people. Even though we are well aware that not everyone invited actually attends, we are not comfortable hosting the event that could lead to a violation of the use permit. Therefore, even though our target attendance is not to exceed 150 to 160 people, we would like to have the use permit increased to legally allow 250.” The following are the existing and proposed conditions: EXISTING Condition 1.c. - The number of guests shall not exceed 150 people for a single event. PROPOSED Condition 1.c. - The number of guests shall not exceed 250 people for a single event. Page 9 of 10 ZM15-01 - Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on February 18, 2015 (First Presentation February 2, 2014) Staff has evaluated the applicant’s request to increase the number of guests from 150 to 250 people for a single event. Based on the applicant’s parking plan submitted with the original Use Permit, the site can accommodate between 88 and 106 parking spaces . This meets the required number spaces of 74 based on the largest assembly place without fixed seating. The ballroom within the house is approximately 2,600 square feet and the proposed pavilion is 2,400 square feet in size. It is Staff’s opinion that granting the requested 250 guest limit would pose a potential parking problem on the site based on the fact there are a maximum of 106 parking spaces. Practically, one assumes that there are a minimum of two guests per car and sometimes attendees will attend without a plus one. In addition, the applicant will be required to adhere to the existing conditions pursuant to U13-04 that requires “Artificial sound emitting from the facility shall cease at 10:00 p.m.” and “Artificial sound shall be allowed only on the west side of the property”. Based on the parking issue, Staff recommends that the number of guests be increased from the existing 150 to 200. Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of Condition 1.c. to indicate 200 guests.
