WHEREAS, Consultant has familiarized itself with the Contract Documents, as defined below, the Work,
and with all local conditions and applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations.
NOW THEREFORE, the City and Consultant, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein
and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, agree as
follows:
Section 1. Contract Documents: This Agreement and the following named Exhibits, attached hereto
and incorporated herein by reference, constitute the "Contract Documents":
EXHIBIT A WORK DESCRIPTION
EXHIBIT B INSURANCE CERTIFICATE
EXHIBIT C CONSULTANT AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT
EXHIBIT D SUBCONTRACTOR AFFIDAVIT
To the extent that there may be any conflict among the Contract Documents, the provision operating most
to the benefit of the City shall govern.
Section 2. The Work: Consultant shall provide all Work described in the Contract Documents.
Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, the Work shall include Consultant's provision of
materials, labor, expenses, and any other cost or item necessary to complete the Work, which is generally
described as the master planning and preliminary design of the fire station #43 fire training facility and
public works storage yard.
Section 3. Contract Time: Consultant understands that time is of the essence of this Agreement and
warrants that it will perform the Work in a prompt manner, which shall not impose delays on the progress
of the Work. It shall commence Work pursuant to this Agreement on or before a date to be specified on a
written "Notice to Proceed" from the City and shall fully complete the Work within 30 days of the
"Notice to Proceed". The City may grant extensions to this time frame at their discretion.
Section 4. Work Changes: Any changes to the Work requiring an increase in the Contract Price, as
defined below, shall require a written change order executed by the City in accordance with its purchasing
regulations.
Section 5. Compensation and Method of Payment: City agrees to pay Consultant for the services
performed and costs incurred by Consultant upon the City's certification that the services were actually
performed and costs actually incurred in accordance with this Agreement. Compensation for services
Page 1 of 6
performed and, if applicable, reimbursement for costs incurred shall be paid to Consultant upon the City's
receipt and approval of an invoice, submitted upon completion of the Work, setting forth in detail the
services performed and costs incurred. Invoices shall reflect charges incurred versus charges budgeted.
The total amount paid under this Agreement for the Work shall not, in any case, exceed $8,500 (the

accordance with the Schedule of Hourly Rates provided in Exhibit A. Reimbursable expenses shall be

Section 6. Covenants of Consultant
A. Assignment of Agreement: Consultant covenants and agrees not to assign or transfer any interest
in, nor delegate any duties of this Agreement, without the prior express written consent of the
City.
B. Responsibility of Consultant and Indemnification of City: Consultant covenants and agrees to
take and assume all responsibility for the services rendered in connection with the Work.
Consultant shall bear all losses and damages directly resulting to it on account of the negligent
performance or character of the services rendered pursuant to this Agreement. Consultant shall
indemnify and hold harmless the City, its officers, boards, commissions, elected and appointed
officials, employees from and against any and all liability, judgments, damages, losses, and
expenses, including but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees, which are the result of willful
or negligent acts, or tortious conduct to the extent arising out of the negligent performance of
contracted services, or operations by Consultant, any sub -consultant, anyone directly employed
by Consultant or sub -consultant or anyone for whose negligent acts Consultant or sub -consultant
may be liable, regardless of whether or not the negligent act is caused in part by a party
indemnified hereunder. Consultant shall not be required to indemnify the City or its officers,
boards, commissions, elected or appointed officials, employees or agents against liability or
claims for damages, losses, or expenses, including attorney fees, arising out of bodily injury to
persons, death, or damage to property caused by or resulting from the sole negligence of the City
or its officers, boards, commissions, elected or appointed officials, employees or agents.
C. Independent Consultant: Consultant hereby covenants and declares that it is engaged in an
independent business and agrees to perform the Work as an independent Consultant, not as agent
or employee of City. Inasmuch as City and Consultant are parties independent of one another,
neither has the authority to bind the other to any third person or otherwise to act in any way as
the representative of the other, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by both parties.
Consultant agrees not to represent itself as City's agent for any purpose to any party or to allow
any employee to do so, unless specifically authorized, in advance and in writing, and then only
for the limited purpose stated in such authorization. Consultant shall assume full liability for any
contracts or agreements Consultant enters into on behalf of City without the express knowledge
and prior written consent of City.

bodies to perform the Work. Consultant shall comply with applicable legal requirements and
meet the standard of quality ordinarily expected of its industry.
F. Ownership of Work: The Client acknowledges the Consultant's construction documents,
including electronic files, as the work papers of the Consultant and the Consultant's instruments
of professional service. Nevertheless, upon completion of the services and payment in full of all
monies due to the Consultant, the Client shall receive ownership of the final construction
documents prepared under this Agreement. The Client shall not reuse or make any modification
to the construction documents without the prior written authorization of the Consultant. The
Client agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
Consultant, its officers, directors, employees and subconsultants (collectively, Consultant)
against any damages, liabilities or costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and defense costs,
arising from or allegedly arising from or in any way related to or connected with the
unauthorized reuse or modification of the construction documents by the Client or any person or
entity that acquires or obtains the construction documents from or through the Client without the
written authorization of the Consultant.
Under no circumstances shall the transfer of ownership of the Consultant's drawings,
specifications, electronic files or other instruments of service be deemed a sale by the
Consultant, and the Consultant makes no warranties, either express or implied, of
merchantability and fitness for any particular purpose, nor shall such transfer be construed or
regarded as any waiver or other relinquishment of the Consultant's copyrights in any of the
foregoing, full ownership of which shall remain with the Consultant, absent the Consultant's
express prior written consent.
G. Consultant's Representative: Liz Hudson shall be authorized to act on Consultant's behalf with

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Carter Lucas, PE – Director of Public Works
Date: Submitted on June 29, 2015 for the July 6, 2015 Regular Council Meeting
Agenda Item: Approval of a Professional Services Contract with Barge, Waggoner, Sumner &
Cannon, Inc. to Provide Bridge Inspection Services for Three Bridges
______________________________________________________________________________
Department Recommendation:
Approval.
Executive Summary:
The project is to provide an overall comprehensive evaluation of three sample bridges in the city.
Bethany Road over Cooper Sandy Creek
Providence Road over Cooper Sandy Creek
Freemanville Road over Cooper Sandy Creek
These bridges were selected because they represent the most common bridge conditions that we
have through-out the city and due to their relative ease of access. This evaluation will be used as
the basis to develop a more comprehensive bridge capital maintenance and
improvement/replacement program. This evaluation will review the state inspection report and
make recommendations for compliance with those requirements. It will also look at the overall
state of each bridge including alignment, guardrail, shoulders, approach slabs as well as other
components that may require further testing or evaluation. The results will be a recommendation
of rehabilitation vs replacement recommendation, an annual inspection list, standard details and
specifications for use on future bridge maintenance projects.
This pilot project will also be the basis for a future RFQ to perform similar inspections on other
bridges within the city.
Staff is recommending approval of the Professional Services contract with Barge, Waggoner,
Sumner & Cannon, Inc. in the amount of the $29,977.

Funding and Fiscal Impact:
Funding for this project is available in the Bridge Replacement Program account in the Capital
Improvement Budget.

terms for performing the changed work within a reasonable time to avoid delay or other unfavorable impacts as
determined by the City in its sole discretion, the City shall have the right to determine reasonable terms and the
Consultant shall proceed with the changed work.
1.5 Any work added to the scope of this Agreement by a change order shall be executed under all the
applicable conditions of this Agreement. No claim for additional compensation or extension of time shall be
recognized, unless contained in a written change order duly executed on behalf of the City and the Consultant.

any sub -consultant, anyone directly or indirectly employed by the Consultant or sub -consultant or anyone for

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: James Seeba, Stormwater Engineer, Public Works Department
Date: Submitted on July 1, 2015 for the July 6, 2015 Regular Council Meeting
Agenda Item: Approval of a Construction Services Agreement between the City of Milton and
Blount Construction, Inc. for the “13590 Weycroft Circle Stormwater System
Improvements”.
____________________________________________________________________________
Department Recommendation: Approval.
Executive Summary: This project generally consists of repairs to a failing section of a
54 inch stormwater drainage pipe.
The existing pipe section has partially failed creating a sink hole on the edge of the road right-of-
way. Failure to perform these repairs at this time would result in continued deterioration, a
safety concern, and could possibly result in a failure of the roadway fill.
In accordance with the city procurement procedures we submitted invitations to provide
written bids to four qualified firms in our area. Only one firm, Blount Construction, Inc.,
responded to our request. Reportedly, the reasons cited for the no bid responses were “too
busy” and “too small a project”. Blount Construction, Inc. was determined to be the lowest
reliable bidder. Staff is recommending approval of a Construction Services Agreement with
Blount Construction, Inc. in the amount of $9,430.00.

Section 5 Contractor's Com ensation• Time and Method of Payment
A. The total amount paid under this Agreement shall not, in any case, exceed
$9,430.00 except as outlined in Section 6 below. City agrees to pay the
Contractor for the work upon certification by the City that the Work was actually
performed and costs actually incurred in accordance with the Agreement. This
amount shall include all use, lease, or other taxes, and all expenses for personnel
and equipment (including fuel) that Contractor will incur to provide the Work.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing signed by both Parties, the compensation
payable by the City to Contractor is limited to the price amount set forth in the
Proposal Submittal Form, and City will not pay any other sum attributable to
taxes, costs or expenses that Contractor may incur in providing the Work.
B. Compensation for Work performed shall be paid to the Contractor upon receipt
and approval by the City of invoices setting forth in detail the Work performed.
Invoices shall be submitted on a monthly basis, and such invoices shall reflect
charges incurred versus charges budgeted. Each invoice shall be accompanied by
an Interim Waiver and Release upon Payment (or a Waiver and Release upon
Final Payment in the case of the invoice for final payment) procured by the
Contractor from all subcontractors in accordance with O.C.G.A. § 44-14-366.
C. City and Contractor shall comply with the provisions of O.C.G.A. § I3-10-80.
The Contractor through each invoice may request payment of no more than ninety
percent (90%) of that portion of the Work completed during the term covered by
such invoice until fifty percent (50%) of the Contract Price, as may be adjusted, is
due and the manner of completion of the Work and its progress are reasonably
satisfactory to the City. Payment for the remaining ten percent (10%) of Work
completed and covered by such invoices shall be retained by the City until Final
Completion. Once fifty percent (50%) of the Contract Price, as may be adjusted,
is due and the manner of completion of the Work and its progress are reasonably
satisfactory to the City, no additional retainage shall be withheld, except as
provided below. At the discretion of the City and with the written approval of the
Contractor, the retainage of each subcontractor may be released separately as the
subcontractor completes his or her work.
D. If, after discontinuing the retention, the City determines that the Work is
unsatisfactory or has fallen behind schedule, retention may be resumed at the
previous level. If retention is resumed by the City, the Contractor and
subcontractors shall be entitled to resume withholding retainage accordingly. At
Final Completion of the Work and as the City determines the Work to be
reasonably satisfactory, the City shall, within 30 days after the invoice and other
appropriate documentation as may be required by the Contract Documents are
provided to the City, pay the retainage to the Contractor. If at that time there are
any remaining incomplete minor items, an amount equal to 200 percent of the
value of each item as determined by the City shall be withheld until such item or
items are completed. The reduced retainage shall be shared by the Contractor and
subcontractors as their interests may appear.
3
4
The Contractor shall, within ten (10) days from its receipt of retainage from the
City, pass through payments to subcontractors and shall reduce each
subcontractor’s retainage in the same manner as the Contractor’s retainage is
reduced by the City; provided, however, that the value of each subcontractor’s
work complete and in place equals fifty percent (50%) of his or her subcontract
value, including approved change orders and other additions to the subcontract
value, provided, further, that the work of the subcontractor is proceeding
satisfactorily and the subcontractor has provided or provides such satisfactory
reasonable assurances of continued performance and financial responsibility to
complete his or her work including any warranty work as the Contractor in his or
her reasonable discretion may require, including, but not limited to, a payment
and performance bond. The subcontractor shall, within ten (10) days from the
subcontractor’s receipt of retainage from the Contractor, pass through paym ents
to lower tier subcontractors and shall reduce each lower tier subcontractor’s
retainage in the same manner as the subcontractor’s retainage is reduced by the
Contractor; provided, however, that the value of each lower tier subcontractor’s
work complete and in place equals fifty percent (50%) of his or her subcontract
value, including approved change orders and other additions to the subcontract
value; provided, further, that the work of the lower tier subcontractor is
proceeding satisfactorily and the lower tier subcontractor has provided or provides
such satisfactory reasonable assurances of continued performance and financial
responsibility to complete his or her work including any warranty work as the
subcontractor in his or her reasonable discretion may require, including, but not
limited to, a payment and performance bond.
Neither final payment nor any retained percentage shall become due until the
Contractor submits to the City: (1) an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials
and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which the
City or City property might be responsible or encumbered (less amounts withheld
by City) have been paid or otherwise satisfied; (2) a certificate evidencing that
insurance, required by the Contract Documents to remain in force after final
payment, is currently in effect and will not be canceled or allowed to expire until
at least 30 calendar days prior written notice has been given to the City; (3) a
written statement that the Contractor knows of no substantial reason that the
insurance will not be renewable to cover the period required by the Contract
Documents; (4) consent of surety, if any, to final payment; (5) a release or waiver
of liens, claims, security interests, and encumbrances by all subcontractors and
material suppliers; and (6), if required by the City, other data establishing
payment or satisfaction of obligations, such as receipts, to the extent and in such
form as may be designated by the City. If a subcontractor or material supplier
refuses to furnish a release or waiver as required by the City, the Contractor may
furnish a bond satisfactory to the City to indemnify the City against such lien. If
such lien remains unsatisfied after payments are made, the Contractor shall refund
to the City all money that the City may be compelled to pay in discharging such
lien, including all costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
5
Acceptance of final payment by the Contractor, a subcontractor or material
supplier shall constitute a waiver of claims by that payee, except those claims
previously made in writing and identified by that payee as unsettled at the time of
final application for payment.
E. Any material deviations in tests or inspections performed, times or locations
required to complete such tests or inspections and like deviations from the Work
described in this Agreement shall be clearly communicated to the City before
charges are incurred and shall be handled through change orders or construction
change directives as described in Section 6 below. All invoices should be
submitted to Honor Motes, the City’s Budget and Procurement Coordinator, for
approval. The City shall pay the Contractor within thirty (30) days after approval
of the invoice by the City. No payments will be made for unauthorized work.
Payment will be sent to the designated address by U.S. Mail only; payment will
not be hand-delivered.
F. The City may withhold payment or final payment for reasons including, but not
limited to, the following: unsatisfactory job performance or progress, defective
work, disputed work, failure to comply with material provisions of the
Agreement, third party claims filed or reasonable evidence that a claim will be
filed or other reasonable cause.
Section 6 Work Changes
A. The City reserves the right to order changes in the Work to be performed under
this Agreement by altering, adding to, or deducting from the Work. All such
changes shall be incorporated in written change orders executed by the Contractor
and the City. Such change orders shall specify the changes ordered and any
necessary adjustment of compensation and completion time. If the Parties cannot
reach an agreement on the terms for performing the changed work within a
reasonable time to avoid delay or other unfavorable impacts as determined by the
City in its sole discretion, the City shall have the right to determine reasonable
terms and the Contractor shall proceed with the changed work.
B. Any work added to the scope of this Agreement by a change order shall be
executed under all the applicable conditions of this Agreement. No claim for
additional compensation or extension of time shall be recognized, unless
contained in a written change order duly executed on behalf of the City and the
Contractor.
C. The City Manager has authority to execute without further action of the Milton
City Council, any number of change orders so long as their total effect does not
materially alter the terms of this Agreement or materially increase the total
amount to be paid under this Agreement. Any such change orders materially
altering the terms of this Agreement or increasing the total amount to be paid
6
under this Agreement in excess of $5,000, must be approved by resolution of the
Milton City Council.
Section 7 Covenants of Contractor.

in violation of the City of Milton Code of Ethics.

and the City, recognizing that the City’s intention and purpose in entering into this
Agreement is to engage an entity with the requisite capacity, experience, and
professional skill and judgment to provide the services in pursuit of the timely and
competent completion of the Work undertaken by Contractor under this
Agreement.
D. Budgetary Limitations
Contractor agrees and acknowledges that budgetary limitations are not a
justification for breach of sound principals of Contractor’s profession and
industry. Contractor shall take no calculated risk in the performance of the Work.
Specifically, Contractor agrees that, in the event it cannot perform the Work
within the budgetary limitations established without disregarding sound principals
of Contractor’s profession and industry, Contractor will give written notice
immediately to the City.
E. City’s Reliance on the Work
The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the City does not undertake to
approve or pass upon matters of expertise of the Contractor and that; therefore,
the City bears no responsibility for Contractor’s services performed under this
Agreement. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the acceptance of
Work by the City is limited to the function of determining whether there has been
compliance with what is required to be produced under this Agreement. The City
will not, and need not, inquire into adequacy, fitness, suitability or correctness of
Contractor’s performance. Contractor further agrees that no approval of designs,
plans, specifications, or work by any person, body or agency shall relieve
Contractor of the responsibility for adequacy, fitness, suitability, and correctness
of Contractor’s professional and industry standards or for performing services
7
under this Agreement in accordance with sound and accepted professional and
industry principals.
F. Contractor’s Reliance of Submissions by the City
Contractor must have timely information and input from the City in order to
perform the services required under this Agreement. Contractor is entitled to rely
upon information provided by the City, but Contractor shall be required to
provide immediate written notice to the City if Contractor knows or reasonably
should know that any information provided by the City is erroneous, inconsistent,
or otherwise problematic.
G. Contractor’s Representative
___________________________________ shall be authorized to act on
Contractor’s behalf with respect to the Work as Contractor’s designated
representative.

of the City.
I. Responsibility of Contractor and Indemnification of City
The Contractor covenants and agrees to take and assume all responsibility for the
services rendered in connection with this Agreement. The Contractor shall bear all
losses and damages directly or indirectly resulting to it on account of the
performance or character of the services rendered pursuant to this Agreement.
Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City, its officers,
boards, commissions, elected and appointed officials, employees and agents from
and against any and all claims, suits, actions, liability, judgments, damages,
losses, and expenses, including but not limited to, attorney’s fees, which may be
the result of willful, negligent or tortuous conduct arising out of the Work,
performance of contracted services, or operations by the Contractor, any
subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by the Contractor or
subcontractor or anyone for whose acts the Contractor or subcontractor may be
liable, regardless of whether or not the negligent act is caused in part by a party
indemnified hereunder. Such obligation shall not be construed to negate,
abridge, or otherwise reduce any other right or obligation of indemnity which
would otherwise exist as to any party or person described in this provision. In any
and all claims against the City or any of its agents or employees, by any employee
of the Contractor, any subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by
8
the Contractor or subcontractor or anyone for whose acts the Contractor or
subcontractor may be liable, the indemnification obligation set forth in this
provision shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type
of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for the Contractor or any
subcontractor under workers’ or workmen’s compensation acts, disability benefit
acts or other employee benefit acts. This obligation to indemnify and defend the
City, its members, officers, agents, employees and volunteers shall survive
termination of this Agreement. Contractor shall not be required to indemnify the
City or its officers, boards, commissions, elected or appointed officials,
employees or agents against liability or claims for damages, losses, or expenses,
including attorney fees, arising out of bodily injury to persons, death, or damage
to property caused by or resulting from the sole negligence of the City or its
officers, boards, commissions, elected or appointed officials, employees or agents.
J. Independent Contractor
Contractor hereby covenants and declares that it is engaged in an independent
business and agrees to perform the services as an independent contractor and not
as the agent or employee of the City. The Contractor agrees to be solely
responsible for its own matters relating to the time and place the services are
performed; the instrumentalities, tools, supplies and/or materials necessary to
complete the services; hiring of Contractors, agents or employees to complete the
services; and the payment of employees, including compliance with Social
Security, withholding and all other regulations governing such matters. The
Contractor agrees to be solely responsible for its own acts and those of its
subordinates, employees, and subcontractors during the life of this Agreement.
Any provisions of this Agreement that may appear to give the City the right to
direct Contractor as to the details of the services to be performed by Contractor or
to exercise a measure of control over such services will be deemed to mean that
Contractor shall follow the directions of the City with regard to the results of such
services only.
The Contractor shall obtain and maintain, at the Contractor’s expense, all permits,
licenses, or approvals that may be necessary for the performance of the services.
The Contractor shall furnish copies of all such permits, licenses, or approvals to
the City of Milton Representative within ten (10) days after issuance.
Inasmuch as the City of Milton and the Contractor are contractors independent of
one another neither has the authority to bind the other to any third person or
otherwise to act in any way as the representative of the other, unless otherwise
expressly agreed to in writing signed by both parties hereto. The Contractor
agrees not to represent itself as the City’s agent for any purpose to any party or to
allow any employee of the Contractor to do so, unless specifically authorized, in
9
advance and in writing, to do so, and then only for the limited purpose stated in

agreements the Contract enters into on behalf of the City of Milton without the

a Use Permit for Canine Assistants. It is Staff’s opinion that the proposed
use and density is suitable with adjacent properties within the City.
2. Whether or not the proposal will adversely affect the existing use or
usability of adjacent or nearby property?
It is Staff’s opinion that the proposal may not adversely affect existing use
or usability of the adjacent properties if approved with the
Recommended Conditions.
3. Whether the property to be affected by the proposal has a reasonable
economic use as currently zoned?
The subject site may have a reasonable use currently zoned AG-1
(Agricultural).
4. Whether the proposal will result in a use which will or could cause an
excessive or burdensome use of existing streets, transportation facilities,
utilities or schools?
Staff does not anticipate a significant impact on public services or utilities.
Comments from the Fulton County Board of Education are included in the
report as it relates to the estimated number of new students for the
proposed rezoning which will have an impact on the elementary and
middle schools.
It is Staff’s opinion that the proposal will not cause a burden on
transportation facilities if approved with the Recommended Conditions.
5. Whether the proposal is in conformity with the policies and intent of the
land use plan?
City of Milton 2030 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map – Medium Density
Residential (1 to 3 units per acre)
Proposed use/density:
Single Family Residential at 1.38 units per acre/CONSISTENT
The proposed rezoning is consistent with the following land use plan
policies:

We will accommodate our diverse population by encouraging a
compatible mixture of housing types, densities and costs within the
City.
We will encourage development of housing opportunities that
enable residents to have easier access to commercial services and
employment opportunities.
We will encourage development that is sensitive to the overall
setting of the community and will contribute to our community’s
character and sense of place.
6. Whether there are other existing or changed conditions affecting the use
and development of the property which gives supporting grounds for
either approval or disapproval of the proposal?
The proposed development is consistent with the adjacent development
for lot size and density and consistent with the 2030 Future Land Use Plan’s
suggestion of Medium Density Residential (1 to 3 units per acre).
7. Whether the zoning proposal will permit a use which can be considered
environmentally adverse to the natural resources, environment and
citizens of the City of Milton?
The proposed use will not be environmentally adverse to the natural
resources, environment and citizens of the City due to the required
development regulations for the subject site.
CONCLUSION
The proposed 2 lots are consistent with the City of Milton’s 2030 Comprehensive
Land Use Plan and adjacent and nearby properties. Therefore, Staff
recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL OF RZ15-13.

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Kathleen Field, Community Development Director
Date: Submitted June 29, 2015 for the July 20, 2015 Regular Meeting (July 6, 2015
First Presentation, July 13, 2015 for Work Session)
Re: Consideration of an Ordinance to Create a Conservation Subdivision – Chapter
50, Article V of the City Code of Milton.
Executive Summary:
The Community Development Department initiated the creation of a Conservation Subdivision
Ordinance (within Chapter 50, Subdivisions, of the City Code) to provide another tool within the
“tool box” for development within the City. The Ordinance was recommended by Professor Tom
Daniels of the University of Pennsylvania who authored the “City of Milton Conservation Plan”
in September of 2014. The creation of a Conservation Subdivision Ordinance was recommended
as one of many methods to conserve land within the City.
The process began with Randall Arendt, an expert in conservation subdivision ordinances,
conducting a Lecture and Design Workshop on October 13, 2014. Additional meetings and work
sessions were held as listed below:
Town Hall Meeting – December 11, 2014
Community Zoning Information Meeting – January 27, and March 24, 2015
Planning Commission Work Session – April 22, 2015
Planning Commission sponsored Public Meetings – May 20, May 30, and June 10, 2015
Planning Commission Meeting with Public Hearing – June 24, 2015
These meetings were well attended by the public and other interested parties with between 50
and 75 people at each of the meetings.
The proposed Conservation Subdivision Ordinance (CSO) was written by Mr. Don Broussard of
Town Planning & Design, LLC based on staff input, community stakeholders, developers,
builders, and other government agencies such as the Georgia Department of Natural Resources,
Environmental Protection Division.
2
Staff has received a large amount of input from the community regarding the proposed CSO. Mr.
Don Broussard presented the ordinance at the June 24, 2015 Planning Commission. There were
approximately 13 speakers who voiced their opinions and concerns regarding the CSO.
After hearing from the public and deliberating on the proposed ordinance, the Planning
Commission stated unanimously that it was not the right time to recommend approval of a CSO.
The Planning Commission further asked that Staff explore amending the AG-1 (Agricultural)
district to further assist in the conservation of land within the City. Therefore, the Planning
Commission recommended denial of the proposed CSO in a 6-0 vote.
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 text amendments, deny, or withdraw it entirely.

Text Amendment and Ordinance for Chapter 50, Article V of the City Code of Milton
June 17, 2015 Town Planning & Design, LLC 1
ARTICLE V. – CONSERVATION SUBDIVISION
Secs. 50-137—50-155. - Reserved.
Sec. 50- 137. Purpose
The purpose of this article is to provide additional flexibility in subdivision design to
ensure preservation of green space and to promote and protect the rural character of
Milton in those areas and districts so designated in the comprehensive plan and the zoning
regulations. The purpose and intent of the Conservation Subdivision regulations also
includes the following:
a. To implement the Comprehensive Plan and the Conservation Plan (dated 2014)
of the City of Milton as adopted and to maintain the low-density and rural
character of those areas so designated in those policy documents.
b. Prevent flooding, erosion, and water pollution, and protect the quality and
quantity of drinking water by providing permanent green space as a measure for
nonstructural control of stormwater runoff in the watershed of the Little River, a
tributary of the Etowah River, and in the watersheds of other streams within the
city by preventing over-development.
c. To protect those areas of the municipality with prime agricultural soils for their
continued or future agricultural use by conserving blocks of land large enough
for efficient farm operations.
d. To provide green space suitable for raising and keeping horses, for equestrian
sports and training, and for riding trails.
e. To conserve scenic terrain, natural beauty, and designated viewsheds; to create
scenic views by reducing the perception of density and maximizing the number
of dwellings with direct access to and views of green space.
f. To reduce soil erosion and sedimentation by minimizing land disturbance and
minimizing the removal of vegetation in residential development.
g. To encourage street designs that promote public safety by reducing traffic
speeds and promote construction of roads, walks, bike paths, and riding trails
within the conservation subdivision and that connect to neighboring
communities, schools, and businesses to reduce reliance on auto travel and
major arterial roads.
h. To preserve native vegetation, aquatic and terrestrial wildlife habitat by
providing interconnected greenways contiguous to green space in adjacent areas
and jurisdictions to enable the safe movement and migration of wildlife.
i. Conserve sites of historic, cultural, architectural, or archeological value by
placing those sites in protected green space.
j. Promote a less sprawling form of development within the tract proposed for
subdivision that encourages a sense of community by providing parks and
community facilities that serve as focal points and public gathering places in the
neighborhood.

Sec. 50- 138. Applicability of Regulations.
Conservation subdivision may be applied in any zoning district designated for single-family
dwellings and in the two-family dwelling zoning district. Within the AG-1 agricultural zone
it shall be the preferred method of subdivision as provided below. Applicants for
conservation subdivision shall comply with all other provisions of the zoning code and all
other applicable ordinances and regulations except those in conflict with the provisions
contained herein.
(a) Major Subdivisions in AG-1 Agriculture Districts
In all AG-1 zoning districts, conservation subdivision shall be the preferred method of
subdivision for any tract of land proposed for subdivision meeting any of the following
criteria:
(1) Having a total area of 5 acres or greater; or
(2) Proposes any new road or road extension, or
(3) Proposes any lots less than 5 acres in lot area.
The criteria above notwithstanding, any applicant for subdivision may apply for a use
permit for a conventional subdivision and a public hearing before the mayor and council
under Sec. 64-1546 et seq. The mayor and council may issue such a use permit if it can be
shown that a conventional subdivision meets the standards of Sec. 64-1552 and that it will
achieve the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan regarding open space and rural
character within the AG-1 Agricultural zone.
(b) Minimum area
In all single family and two-family residential districts, minor subdivisions shall not be
eligible for conservation subdivision. Only major subdivisions resulting in the creation of
four or more lots and where the tract proposed for subdivision is a minimum of 5 acres in
area are permissible to be developed according to the conservation subdivision regulations
in this article.
(c) Exemption for large tract subdivisions.
Proposed subdivisions in which each lot proposed exceeds five acres in lot area and in
which no new roads are proposed shall not be subject to conservation design
requirements.
(d) Ownership of Development Site.
The tract of land proposed for development as a conservation subdivision may be held in
single ownership or in multiple ownership. When held in multiple ownership, it shall be
planned as a single subdivision and its development shall be governed by the certified
conceptual plan.
(e) Phased Development.
Under a certified conceptual plan, each proposed phase of a conservation subdivision must
meet the density criteria established herein and may not exceed the density for the zoning
district except as otherwise provided in these regulations.
June 17, 2015 Town Planning & Design, LLC 3
(f) Site Suitability.
The tract incorporating the conservation subdivision shall be suitable for supporting
development in terms of environmental conditions, size, and configuration as provided
herein and based upon the site analysis map, the yield plan, and the proposed conceptual
plan.
(g) Sensitive Area Disturbance.
The proposed design shall minimize disturbance of environmentally sensitive areas, as
shown on the site analysis map. Lands within the 100-year floodplain, lands designated as
wetlands, having slopes in excess of 25%, and riparian buffers adjacent to streams
constitute such environmentally sensitive areas. Demonstration by the applicant that these
features shall be protected by the proposed application shall be prerequisite to
consideration and approval of the conservation subdivision conceptual plan and
subsequent Final Plat.
(h) Effect of Conceptual plan.
Approval of the conceptual plat shall bind all land within the plat to the requirements and
conditions of the conservation subdivision regulations and all conditions of approval.
Should the developer or land owner subsequently sell or otherwise transfer their interest
in the property, all heirs and assigns shall be bound to the approved conceptual plan,
unless amended by or approved by the planning commission or until the plat approval
expires as provided in Sec. 50-91 of the subdivision regulations.
Sec. 50- 139. Submittal Requirements for Conservation Subdivisions

Sec. 50- 140. Procedure for Review and Approval
(a) Pre-Application Meeting
A pre-application meeting is required between the applicant, the site designer and the
planning staff. The purpose of the pre-application meeting is to review the City’s zoning
and subdivision regulations and procedures, to discuss the applicant’s objectives for that
site and to schedule site visits, additional meetings, and plan submissions. Applicants must
present the context map at this meeting.
June 17, 2015 Town Planning & Design, LLC 6
(b) Review of site analysis map.
Prior to the site visit required in paragraph (c) below, the site analysis map shall be
submitted for review to the Community Development Director and the Public Works
Director. If found inadequate, the reviewer shall provide in writing the reasons for its
inadequacy, and the site analysis map shall not be accepted until adequate changes are
made.
(c) Planning Site Visit
The applicant shall schedule a planning site visit to the subject property to obtain advice
and assistance prior to preparing a plan of the subdivision for submittal. This consultation
shall occur at the site of the proposed subdivision, and shall be attended by applicant,
applicant's designer, community development staff, public works staff, the city arborist,
and at least two but no more than three members of the planning commission. The city
council member representing the district in which the property is located shall also be
notified of the date, time and location for the planning site visit. A representative from any
qualified land trust of the applicant's choosing that is active in the protection of land in
Fulton County shall also be invited to attend the planning site visit. Attendance by abutting
residents is encouraged but is at the discretion and invitation of the applicant owner of the
property.
The applicant shall distribute copies of the context map and the site analysis map at this
on-site meeting. One or more sketch plans, if prepared by the site designer, may also be
discussed and reviewed. The purpose of the site visit is to familiarize local officials with the
property’s existing conditions and special features, to identify potential site design issues,
and to provide an informal opportunity to discuss site design concepts, including the
general layout of green space and potential locations for proposed buildings and street
alignments.
Comments at the site visit made by city officials or staff and consultants shall be
interpreted as being only suggestions. It shall be understood by all parties that no formal
recommendations can be offered. No official decisions can be made at the site visit.
(d) Sketch Plan Submission
A sketch plan may be submitted as a diagrammatic basis for informal discussion with the
planning officials regarding the design of a proposed subdivision or land development. The
purpose of a sketch plan submission is to provide a mechanism to help applicants and local
officials develop a better understanding of the property and to help establish an overall
design approach that respects its special or noteworthy features while providing for the
density permitted under the zoning ordinance as determined by the yield plan.
(e) Elevation drawings
The director of community development may require submittal of architectural drawings
depicting the view of the proposed conservation subdivision from any existing or proposed
public right of way from which it may be seen. The elevation drawings shall be at an
appropriate scale either from an oblique or “birds eye” perspective or from a view at eye-
level. The drawings shall depict proposed dwellings and other structures, green space and
June 17, 2015 Town Planning & Design, LLC 7
and the proposed landscape form so that the staff, the planning commission, and the public
may evaluate the impact and appearance of the project from the public ways of the city.
Sec. 50- 141. Four Step Design Process for Conservation Subdivision
All Concept plans for Conservation Subdivision shall include documentation of a four step
design process in determining the layout of proposed green space lands, house sites,
streets, and lot lines as described below.
(a) Step 1: Delineation of green space lands
The minimum percentage and acreage of required green space lands shall be calculated by
the applicant and submitted as part of the Sketch Plan or Conceptual Plan in accordance
with this ordinance. Proposed green space lands shall be designated using the existing
resources map as a base map.
Green space shall include all Primary Conservation areas and those parts of the Secondary
Conservation areas, as defined herein, and otherwise buildable lands if needed to meet the
terms of this ordinance.
In delineating Secondary Conservation Areas, the applicant shall consult with Community
Development staff on the prioritization of natural and cultural resources on the tract in
terms of their highest to lowest suitability for inclusion in the proposed green space.
Using the priorities and practical considerations given to the tract’s configuration by
planning staff, its context in relation to resource areas on adjoining and neighboring
properties, and the applicant’s own subdivision objectives, Secondary Conservation Areas
shall be delineated to meet at least the minimum area percentage requirements for green
space lands and in a manner clearly indicating their boundaries as well as the types of
resources included within them.
(b) Step 2: Location of House Sites.
Potential house sites shall be tentatively located using the proposed green space lands as a
base map as well as other relevant data on the Existing resources map such as topography
and soils. House sites should be located not closer than 100 feet from Primary Conservation
Areas and 50 feet from Secondary Conservation Areas, taking into consideration the
potential negative impacts of residential development on such areas as well as the potential
positive benefits of such locations to provide attractive views and visual settings for
residences.
(c) Step 3: Alignment of Streets and Trails.
Upon designating the house sites, a street plan shall be designed to provide vehicular
access to each house, complying with the standards for road design in Chapter 48 and in
Chapter 50 of the City of Milton Code of Ordinances and bearing a logical relationship to
topographic conditions.

Membership in the HOA is mandatory for all homeowners and dues shall be
uniform.
The HOA will execute legally enforceable permanent conservation easement as
described in section _____.
It is recommended that at least one member of the HOA should receive training in or
be conversant in, wildlife habitat conservation, enhancement, and maintenance
Each homeowner should be given site-specific information about indigenous habitat
and diversity of species
The HOA shall develop a long-term conservation plan for maintenance of common
areas. This plan should include examples of environmentally friendly landscaping
techniques for homeowners.
B. Dedication of legally described and platted green space to the City of Milton Mayor
and City Council shall be at the discretion of and approval by the City of Milton
Mayor and City Council.
C. Conveyance of legally described and platted green space to a land trust established

the final plat and the legal instruments for permanent protection of the conservation areas,
the City will record said documents with the Clerk of the Superior Court’s office. All fees
associated with the recordation of plats and legal instruments will be furnished by the
developer of the Conservation Subdivision or his agent.
Sec. 50- 148. Infrastructure standards in conservation subdivisions.
(a) Roads and streets.
Roads within Conservation Subdivisions shall in general comply with the standards in the
subdivision regulations of the city of Milton (Chap. 50) and in particular, comply with
“Design Standards For Streets in Conservation Subdivisions” set forth in the standard details
for land development activity. The design of streets, within the Conservation Subdivision,
shall be reviewed and be approved by the Public Works Director prior to approval of a
conceptual plan.
Cul-de-sac streets are generally prohibited and may be permitted only if no other feasible
street design is possible. The placement of half cul-de-sacs to accommodate right angle
changes in street alignment is expressly prohibited. Alternatives to the cul de sac are: loop
streets, loop lanes, single loaded streets and crescents as shown in the “Design Standards
For Streets in Conservation Subdivisions”.
Turf, trees and other vegetation shall be used for the inner circle of turn-arounds, rather
than paving the entire area. A note on the final plat and in the neighborhood bylaws shall
declare the HOA responsible for the maintenance of such landscape areas
Residential streets shall provide more than one entrance to the subdivision and
interconnect with external or adjoining public streets where feasible.
June 17, 2015 Town Planning & Design, LLC 17
Minor subdivision streets serving less than 50 dwelling units may omit curbs wherever
total gross density of the conservation subdivision is less than 1.5 units per acre if
approved by the director of public works.
(b) Trails.
Marked paths and trails shall be provided with improved surfaces for non-vehicular traffic
within the development and connecting to neighboring residential and commercial areas
where such opportunity exists.
Where trails are planned, such trails may be constructed within the buffer area. The path
through the buffer area containing such trail may be no wider than 8 feet. All clearing
associated with the construction of such path shall be contained within 10 feet. If such
trails are planned as a part of the development, the trails must be located within the first
25% of the buffer furthest from the exterior boundary line for the subdivision but in no
event shall be within 30 ft. of said exterior boundary line.
(c) Wastewater utility systems.
Wastewater treatment systems and water wells may be placed in suitable locations within
Secondary Conservation Areas. The locations shall be established in conformity with plans
and permits from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division or the Fulton County
Health Department as appropriate.
Easements shall be placed on all wastewater treatment system facilities and components
such as drain fields and drip lines; and water wells when such structures are placed within
green space. The easements shall be for the purposes of maintenance access and for
defining ownership.
When located in green space conservation areas, the ownership and maintenance of the
individual septic system drain fields shall be the responsibility of the owner of the lot
served by that drain field. Ownership and maintenance of any community wastewater
treatment system shall be the responsibility of the developer, a homeowners association or
an owner/ operator licensed by the State of Georgia to operate such a system.
Ownership and maintenance of individual septic tank systems or parts thereof, and parts of
community wastewater treatment systems, and water wells located on lots shall be the
responsibility of the individual lot owners.
The city of Milton is authorized to serve as a trustee for a community wastewater system if
approved by the director of public works and the city attorney and ratified by the mayor
and council. The city of Milton may require appropriate and reasonable surety and
guarantees, and specifications regarding the construction, operation, and maintenance of
any community wastewater treatment system for which it agrees to serve as a trustee.
Issuance of permits by other governmental authorities for construction of a community
wastewater system does not obligate or bind the City of Milton planning commission to
approve any proposed conservation subdivision.
June 17, 2015 Town Planning & Design, LLC 18
(d) Stormwater structures.
Conservation subdivisions shall comply with Sec. 50-185 Stormwater Provisions.
Storm water management structures designed to promote on-site infiltration and/or
treatment of runoff and that comply with the City of Milton’s adopted Stormwater
Management Manual (chapter 20, article IV of the City Code) may be permitted in green
space in suitable locations within Secondary Conservation Areas if approved by the Public
Works Director. In general, storm water utility systems shall not be allowed to encroach
into an exterior buffer as defined herein.
Notwithstanding other provisions to the contrary, the City of Milton Public Works Director
may permit stormwater control structures to be built within a required buffer if it is
determined that this is the only practical location. The area devoted to the installation of
the stormwater structure may not be used to satisfy the green space requirement for the
development.
Where stormwater structures are allowed within the buffer, the developer shall plant
sufficient vegetative material to effectively screen the location of such structure and
obscure such structure from view. All walls or other hard surfaces of such structure shall
be painted a muted earth-tone color or shall be faced with other materials to further
conceal such structure from view.
Sec. 50- 149. Buffers.
All buffers required by the applicable zoning district shall be shown on the conceptual plan
and the final plat. All buffers and setbacks required by other ordinances and regulations,
such as permits for wastewater systems, water wells, or for stormwater facilities shall be
applicable and all such facilities and structures shall comply with those requirements.
The placement of additional buffers under the conservation subdivision regulations shall
be for the purpose of screening new house lots from view of existing adjoining house lots
and for buffering impacts of new development (such as privacy and noise) upon existing
residences.
For proposed lots having less than 50% of the minimum lot area required by the zoning
ordinance, the following buffers and designs shall be required:
No such lots shall adjoin existing abutting dwellings on lots conforming to the zoning
ordinance. A buffer, minimum 50-feet in width, shall be placed between the proposed lots
and the perimeter boundary of the proposed subdivision that is shared with the existing
dwellings.
Buffers shall be required along the perimeter boundary of the conservation subdivision:
a) where ever resources exist off-site on the abutting property which, if proposed for
conservation subdivision, would qualify as primary or secondary conservation areas; or
b) where ever the opportunity exists to match up and reinforce a similar buffer and green
space that might be planned in the future on the abutting property.
June 17, 2015 Town Planning & Design, LLC 19
In buffers placed along a perimeter boundary of the conservation subdivision, no fence or
other structure shall be placed that would impede the free movement of wildlife within
such a green space buffer.
Estate lots may be placed fronting along existing roads adjoining the proposed
conservation subdivision and no buffer shall be required.
Upon recommendation of the director of community development, the planning
commission may require buffers up to 150 feet in width along the subdivision perimeter
where insufficient forest or terrain exists to provide visual screening and where added
separation of the proposed lots achieves those purposes.
However, if the community development director determines that the adjoining properties
are in agricultural use or that they are undeveloped and suitable and likely candidates for
conservation subdivision, then the director may waive such required buffer.
All buffers 50-feet or greater in width may count toward the required green space of the
conservation subdivision.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Stacey Inglis, Assistant City Manager
Date: Submitted on June 26, 2015 for the July 6, July 20 and August 3, 2015 Regular Council
Meetings
Agenda Item: Consideration of an Ordinance of the Mayor and Council of the City of Milton, Georgia, to
Establish the Ad Valorem Tax Rate of the City of Milton for Fiscal Year 2015; and for
Other Purposes.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Department Recommendation:
Adopt the ordinance as presented to establish the ad valorem tax rate of the City of Milton for the 2015
fiscal year.
Executive Summary:
The Taxpayers Bill of Rights, in effect since 2000, requires the City to advertise a property tax increase if
the millage rate is not fully rolled back to offset inflationary reassessments to existing property values.
The impact of the reassessments this past year resulted in a property tax increase of 5.48%. When
coupled with the upsurge in the digest for newly improved properties, the overall taxes levied will be 6.5%
higher than 2014.
The FY2015 Budget anticipated a millage rate of 4.731 mills, which is the same millage rate the City of
Milton Charter permits and is the same rate accessed in all eight years of the City’s incorporation.
Three public hearings will be held to allow the public the opportunity to provide their input. The first public
hearing will be held on July 6th, where the first presentation of the Ordinance to establish the millage rate
will also be sounded. The second public hearing will be held on July 2 0th. The final public hearing will be
held on August 3rd, where the Ordinance will also be considered for adoption.
Funding and Fiscal Impact:
The property tax revenues were estimated to be $8,670,500 in the fiscal year 2015 budget. The total
amount of property taxes to be levied, excluding motor vehicle tax, is roughly $10.2 million. To meet the
budget estimates, the collection rate will have to exceed 85%. Given that the collection rate over the past
three years has been around 95%, we shouldn’t have a problem meeting the projected budget numbers.
Alternatives:
None.
Legal Review:
Not required.
Concurrent Review:
