Re: Financial Status Report for Period 3 -December 2007
OVERVIEW and FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
The attached financial statements represent figures as of the close of period 2, November 2007. The
financial status report is indented t~ provide a current budget-to-actual revenue & expenditure status of
each fund.
General Fund
With 25% of the fiscal year lapsed, expendlhrres are averaging 20.4% of the budgeted
amounts, while revenues are at 13%. At this point it is too early to determine if we are on target
for our projections. We will know more within the next two months. As was mentioned in the
financial report for November, there were several sources of revenues collected in the first two
months of the fiscal year that were intended for FY 2007. Some of these include property tax,
local option sales tax, motor vehicle tax, real estate transfer tax and alcoholic beverage excise
tax. Since they were intended for the previous fiscal year, they were recorded as such.
Therefore, the revenue collections are and will always be lower in the first two periods of the
fiscal year.
Capifal Project Fund
Expenditures within this fund continue to occur on a project-by-project basis. Wrh a total
project expenditure budget of $1$1 9,762,capital expenditures-tpdate total $1 15,924.
FINANCIAL OPERATIONS:
Tree Redacement Fund: Balance: $0
Sidewalk Replacement Fund: Balance: $24,070

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Chris Lagerbloom Interim City Manager
Date:January 4, 2008 for January 10, 2008 City Council Meeting for First Presentation and
onto the January 24, 2008 City Council Meeting for Second Reading
Agenda Item: An Ordinance Adopting Amended Rules and Procedures for the City Council
Meetings and Public Hearings for the City of Milton, Georgia
CMO (City Manager’s Office) Recommendation:
Approve the attached ordinance adopting the Rules and Procedures of public meetings held by
the City of Milton, providing for an orderly process of conducting business, and for other
purposes.
Background:
Governments traditionally adopt Rules of Procedure, or operation standards and protocol which
facilitate the orderly conduct of public meetings. Such documents outline how meetings will be
conducted and stand as the backbone for staff and elected officials to refer to in one of the most
critical functions of any government – soliciting public input and conducting public meetings.
The attached Rules of Procedure were drafted after consulting with Title 50, Chapter 14 of the
Official Code of Georgia Annotated as well as the City’s Charter – House Bill 1470. The rules
and procedures were first adopted and put into place by Milton on November 21, 2006, after the
second reading of the ordinance occurred. An amendment to the Rules of Procedure was
adopted on January 18, 2007 to subparagraph (d) Work Sessions. An amendment to the Rules
of Procedure was adopted on June 21, 2007 to Section 19, Public Participation (e) Representation
of Civic Associations, Advocacy Groups or Homeowners’ Associations.
Discussion:
Amendments to the amended and approved rules and procedures are recommended and
annotated in Section 11, Regular Meetings and Section 12, Meetings other Than Regular
Meetings, (d) Work Sessions, which reads as follows:
Section 11. Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the city council shall be held at 7:00 6:00
p.m. on the first and third Thursday Monday of each month. All regular meetings shall be held
at City Hall in the Mayor and Council meeting room. A notice containing the foregoing
information shall be posted and maintained in a conspicuous place available to the general public
at the regular meeting place of the city council.
Section 12. Meetings Other Than Regular Meetings.
(d) Work Sessions. Meetings to discuss City business where no formal votes are taken
shall be scheduled in regular intervals to facilitate discussion on important topics. Work
Sessions shall be held at 5:30 6:00 p.m. on the second Thursday Monday of each month.
All work session meetings shall be held at City Hall in the Mayor and Council meeting
room. A notice containing the foregoing information shall be posted and maintained in a
City of Milton
13000 Deerfield Parkway, Suite 107, Milton, Georgia 30004
conspicuous place available to the general public at the regular meeting place of the city
council. Public input at work sessions will be allowed for ten (10) minutes per item, two
(2) minutes per person with the Mayor having flexibility to extend the time if needed.

REMARKS:
City of Milton
13000 Deerfield Parkway, Milton, Georgia 30004
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Charles Millican, Interim Director of Public Safety
Date: January 24, 2008
Agenda Item: Approval of a grant application to the US Bureau of Justice Assistance for
participation in the Bullet Proof Vest Partnership Grant program
CMO (City Manager’s Office) Recommendation:
Adopt the attached resolution approving the submission to the Bureau of Justice Assistance for
the Bullet Proof Vest Partnership authorizing the request for funding to reimburse the City for up
to half of the cost of the purchase of a bullet resistant vest for Milton Police officers and
authorizing the Mayor or his designee to execute all required grant documents should the grant
be awarded.
Background:
The Bureau of Justice Assistance is a US agency that provides financial assistance to local law
enforcement. The Bullet Proof Vest Partnership is a program to ensure that police officers have
the best protection available during the course of their duties. This program is intended to
reimburse police agencies for up to half of the purchase price of a bullet resistant vest.
Discussion:
One of the most important pieces of equipment issued to a police officer is his or her bullet
resistant vest. The vest is one of the biggest factors in preventing line-of-duty deaths among
police officers and will therefore significantly improve the safety of MDPS employees as they
serve the citizens of Milton. Provision of this item by the employing agency is standard police
practice, and therefore the City provides vests to our officers upon employment (the item is
custom fitted) and may have to periodically replace them as wear or damage dictate. This grant
is intended to assist agencies in the purchase of this crucial item with the end of reducing officer
injury and fatality as a result of felonious assault. The grant provides after-the-fact
reimbursement for bullet resistant vests already purchased by the agency up to half of the cost
of the purchase price.
Funding and Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact upon the City is entirely positive. We will purchase vests as a part of the
regular course of operations anyway. This grant will allow us to recoup some of the cost that
has already been allocated as part of the standard police equipment budget. Therefore, we
may hereby recover half of the $599.00 per vest purchased if awarded the grant.
Alternatives:

City of Milton

The Department is currently buying the vests entirely out of the municipal budget. We may
continue to budget for the item and purchase it without the prospect of reimbursement.

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 Article 19.2.4 of the Zoning Ordinance; Use Permit Considerations. Staff has
reviewed said items pertaining to the subject use, and, offers the following
comments:
A. Whether the proposed use is consistent with the land use or economic
development plans adopted by the Mayor and City Council:
Provided the applicant complies with the Recommended Conditions of
this petition and the Use Permit requirements of Article 19.4.3. of the
Zoning Ordinance, the proposed development is consistent with the intent
and following policies of the Comprehensive Plan:
• •••Encourage compatible institutional uses in neighborhoods and
communities.
• •••Encourage development consistent with the surrounding scale,
transition of densities and uses, and Comprehensive Plan policies,
where appropriate.
B. Compatibility with land uses and zoning districts in the vicinity of the
property for which the use permit is proposed;
If developed in accordance with Staff’s Recommended Conditions and
the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, the proposed agriculturalrelated
activity is expected to be compatible with other land uses in the
surrounding area.
C. Whether the proposed use may violate local, state and/or federal statutes,
ordinances or regulations governing land development;
The proposed use does not violate any known local, state and/or federal
statutes, ordinances or regulations governing land development. The
applicant has appropriate local, state and federal permits needed to
operate the dog training facility.
D. The effect of the proposed use on traffic flow, vehicular and pedestrian,
along adjoining streets;
The proposed use will not generate a significant increase in traffic since
much of the trips to the site are buses bringing clients to the site for the
training that occurs 46 times a year.

Mayor & City Council on January 24, 2007
1/24/2008 Page 19 of 33
U07007/VC07012
E. The location and number of offstreet parking spaces;
Article 18.2.1 requires the applicant to provide 1 space per 35 square feet
in the largest assembly area. The largest assembly area within the new
addition is 2,000 square feet and requires 57 parking spaces. Article
19.4.3.B.4 requires the applicant to locate parking outside a minimum 100
foot setback from all property lines. The applicant is requesting a
concurrent variance to encroach into this setback. Further discussion is
under the Site Plan Analysis below.
F. The amount and location of open space;
The applicant’s site plan indicates that if developed as submitted; there
will be approximately 26,365 square feet of developed with buildings and
approximately 20,000 square feet of walkways, parking areas, and
detention areas for a total of 46,365 square feet of developed area. The
remainder of the site, approximately 16 acres will remain open space.
Staff is of the opinion that the proposed development will provide
adequate open space for the proposed development.
G. Protective screening;
If developed in accordance with the requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance and the Northwest Fulton Overlay District, the buffer and
landscape strip requirements and the existing screening around the
structures will provide adequate screening for the proposed
development. A condition will be included to allow the existing structures
to encroach in the required 75foot buffer and 10foot improvement
setback along the west property line. The proposed new building is
outside the required buffer and improvement setback.
H. Hours and manner of operation;
The applicant’s letter of intent indicates that the new building will be open
from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. though it is unlikely that it will be occupied more
than 5 or 6 hours a day. The training facility will be mainly utilized during
the 6two week training camps throughout the year.
I. Outdoor lighting;
At the time of Land Disturbance Permit the site shall be in compliance with
Article 12H.3.4 of the Northwest Fulton Overlay District regarding outdoor
lighting. Staff notes that the subject site’s required buffers, and existing
screening, will help mitigate the impact of lights on the adjacent
properties.

Mayor & City Council on January 24, 2007

U07007/VC07012
J. Ingress and egress to the property.
The applicant’s site plan indicates a total of six (6) existing curb cuts on
Francis Road that has a frontage of 863 feet. There are various buildings
on the entire site that have various purposes for the training facility and
the need for the existing curb cuts. Staff is of the opinion that the
proposed development will have limited impact upon the community.
Staff is of the opinion that the requested Use Permit for the Canine Assistants is
appropriate for the area with the recommended conditions. Therefore, Staff
recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of U07007.
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Based on the applicant’s site plan submitted to the Community Development
Department on October 2, 2007 Staff offers the following considerations:
Northwest Overlay District
BUILDING SETBACKS
Article 12H.3.5 Section C.1 of the Northwest Overlay District requires a maximum
20foot building setback from the edge of the required landscape strip and/or
easements for all properties and lots located adjacent to public rightsofway
and from 0 to 400 feet from an intersection. The applicant is requesting a
concurrent variance to allow the new structure to be 250 feet from the required
landscape strip. There are some existing buildings of which some were
developed as “farm houses” prior to the combination of the tracts that comprise
the current 17 acres. The proposed new training building has been placed
further to the rear to help preserve existing pastures to the east that are used for
the horses used for therapeutic riding. In addition, the building will not be visible
from the rightofway. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance would
be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance and
recommends that Part 2 of VC07012 be APPROVED CONDITIONAL.
BUILDING HEIGHT
Article 12H.3.5 Section D.1 of the Northwest Overlay District requires a maximum
height limit of two stories with the maximum height 30 feet from averagefinished
grade to the bottom of the roof eave. The applicant has indicated that they will
remain within these requirements.
LANDSCAPE STRIPS AND BUFFERS
Article 12H.3.1 Section C.1 of the Northwest Overlay District requires a seventy
five (75) footwide undisturbed buffer, with a 10’ improvement setback, shall be
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Mayor & City Council on January 24, 2007
1/24/2008 Page 21 of 33
U07007/VC07012
located adjacent to all AG1 zoning districts and all property zoned, used, or
developed for residential uses. The applicant is requesting the deletion of this
requirement along all property lines adjacent to AG1 or residentially developed
property. The applicant wants to preserve the existing “pastures” on the
property where the horses graze. In addition, there is a 1,500 square foot
shed/workshop that is located along the east property line that encroaches into
the 75foot buffer and 10foot improvement setback. There is existing screening
throughout the property along the property lines and those will be preserved.
Along the west property line, there are single family residences adjacent to the
site. Staff recommends that the applicant provide the 75foot buffer and 10foot
improvement setback along the west property line provide appropriate
screening from the proposed use. The proposed new building will not encroach
into this buffer along the west property line. The applicant’s site plan shows
adequate area to meet this requirement with exception to the existing 2,000
square foot building near the west property line. Therefore, Staff recommends
APPROVAL CONDITIONAL for VC07012, Part 4 for all property lines except along
the west property line. A condition will be included to allow the 2,000 square
foot building near the property line to encroach into the buffer.
A 10foot landscape strip along Francis Road is required per the Northwest
Overlay District.
City Arborist
About a thirty foot undisturbed buffer remains at the eastern property line.
Center of the site is cleared and being used for parking. Existing large trees are
located at the western property line. Two specimen trees are located in this
area: 29” Pine and 26” Pine as shown below.

PARKING REQUIREMENTS
The following chart illustrates the parking required by Article 18 of the City of
Milton Zoning Ordinance for the proposed use:
Proposed Use Minimum Requirement Spaces Provided
• 35 feet per largest
assembly area
• 2000 square feet
Total
• 1 spaces per 35 sq. ft. of
largest assembly area.
(2,000)
57 spaces required
• Not indicated on site
plan
52 spaces provided
Staff notes that there appears to be sufficient room to provide 57 parking
spaces required per Article 18 of the City of Milton Zoning Ordinance. The
applicant is requesting a concurrent variance to allow parking within the 100
foot setback adjacent to all property lines. There is an existing gravel parking
area encroaching into this 100foot setback for approximately 45 feet. It
appears that there is adequate space for parking outside of the 100foot
setback. In addition there are single family residences directly to the west
affected by the parking area. Although there appears to be room, the
applicant has indicated that in reality a total of 57 spaces are not needed as a
majority of the clients are brought to the site via bus from nearby hotels. Staff
notes that an administrative variance to reduce the parking spaces by 10
percent can be requested which would the number by 5 spaces to 52 spaces
as indicated in the revised site plan. Therefore, Staff recommends DENIAL of Part
1 of VC07012 to reduce the 100foot setback from the western property line.
UPDATE – January 17, 2008 regarding 100foot setback
The applicant and Cobblestone Farms met at the site on January 15, 2008. The
proposed new building was staked out in its approximate location to help the
neighbors see the placement of the building in relation to their properties. At the
end of this report are the results of their meeting.
Based on the site plans submitted to the Community Development Department
on January 17, 2008, Staff notes that there is still vehicular access within the 100
foot setback. Staff has discussed the fact that a further reduction of the parking
is obtained through the Board of Zoning Appeals; there would be sufficient room
to delete the western most bay of parking. The applicant has indicated there
isn’t need for all the parking shown in the site plan. Since a concurrent variance
to reduce the parking was not requested the number shown of parking spaces
Other parking located on the remainder of the site should be screened from
view of any public street by: 1) a 15foot wide landscape strip planted to buffer
standards or 2) a berm planted with a continuous hedge or evergreen shrubs. It
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Mayor & City Council on January 24, 2007
1/24/2008 Page 25 of 33
U07007/VC07012
appears there is sufficient room to provide a 15foot landscape strip along
Francis Road.
The Northwest Overlay District states that no on site parking shall be located to
the front of a building and/or between a building and the public rightofway.
The applicant is requesting a concurrent variance to allow parking between
Francis Road and the parking area to be utilized by the new training building.
Since the parking is not visible from Francis Road and will be required to be
located outside the 100foot setback, Staff recommends that Part 3 of VC07012
be APPROVED CONDITIONAL.
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
On October 24, 2007 the applicant was present at the Community Zoning
Information Meeting held at the Milton City Hall. There was one adjacent
property owner in attendance from the community. The applicant had hosted
an information meeting on October 23, 2007 in which approximately 6 to 8
people attended.
Public Comments – One resident in attendance expressed concerns regarding
the additional training facility as they are next to the property to the west in
Cobblestone Farms.
Staff received a letter representing the Cobblestone Farms Homeowners
Association which attached to this report. After discussions with the applicant it
appears that based on the revised site plans submitted 12/19/07 and further
discussions at the Planning Commission meeting, the applicant is satisfied with
the applicant’s agreement to keep parking out of the 100foot setback
adjacent to the west property line; keep all the existing trees and plant to
“buffer standards” along the west property line from the rightofway for a
distance of 407 feet. The applicant is happy to work with the Design Review
Board in regards to the appearance of the new building and to use the new
building solely for training and not for a kennel or boarding.
City of Milton Design Review Board Meeting – December 4, 2007
• Suggested that the new training facility look more like a residence than a
barn.
Public Notice Requirements
The use permit petition was advertised in the Milton Herald on December 5, 2007
and again on January 9, 2008 and the sign was installed before the required
date of November 7, 2007 along the frontage of Francis Road. The notice of the
Use Permit was sent, to adjacent property owners, on December 4, 2007 and an
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Mayor & City Council on January 24, 2007
1/24/2008 Page 26 of 33
U07007/VC07012
updated notice on December 29 to reflect the changed City Council meeting
date in January.
Public Participation Plan and Report
The applicant has met the requirements of the Public Participation Plan. The
applicant will be required to submit the public participation report 7 days prior
to the Mayor and City Council meeting.
CONCLUSION
The proposed Use Permit for the Canine Assistants is consistent with plan policies
and is appropriate for the area and therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL
CONDITIONAL of U07007. Furthermore, Staff recommends DENIAL of VC07012,
PART 1 and APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of VC07012, Parts 24.

Below are notes taken from the meeting between the applicant and
Cobblestone Farm. The revised site plans received by the Community
Development Department on 1/17/08 was presented to at the meeting.
• The chain link fence in front of the existing home is a concern -they find it unsightly. I explained
that IF the Canine Assistants were NOT going to build this new structure, then the chain link
fence would be exactly where it is now, and nothing would change, so technically, that's not an
issue of the new development, but that I would discuss it with Jennifer to see if they could either
remove the chain link fence or grow vines on it or replace it with a wooden latticework.
• They'd like to see some shrubs planted along the side of the new building facing their
subdivision. They are afraid the buffer won't do much to block their view of the new building.
• They'd like to know more about the types of trees proposed for the buffer, their growth
requirements, etc. I said that I would have my landscape architect send them some information
on the trees as well as pictures of the Wax Myrtle and the Virginia Pine in particular. I also need
to confirm with him that a wax myrtle is an evergreen.
• They would like the dumpster relocated since the garbage truck makes a lot of noise when it
comes early in the morning to collect the trash. I believe that moving the dumpster will be
necessary due to the building construction and buffer replanting, but I will ask Jennifer where she
plans to relocate it to.
• The neighbors would like the buffer replanting to take place prior to building construction. I
explained this would not be wholly possible since construction traffic could damage the newly
planted trees, but perhaps some of the plantings near the property line could be done early.
• They would like to know whether the shed is going to stay or will be removed. I believe it will be
removed due to building placement, but I will need to check with Jennifer.
• The Morgan's would like to know whether some additional plantings could be placed in front of
their fence or along their property line in particular -the existing drive and carport are in the 75'
buffer that abuts the Morgan's property. I said I would talk to Jennifer. If the carport is in use, we
obviously can't plant in front of it, but perhaps we can add to the tree/shrub density in that area.
• The biggest concerns center around the building facade and they wanted to know if they could be
involved at that stage of the process. I explained that typically any conditions relating to building
materials are placed on the application at this point and that once the hearings are over the public
comment period is generally over, but that they could probably stay in touch with the City of
Milton throughout the permit process and that conditions could be added regarding the type of
materials and possible approval of building elevations by the Director, etc. I am also going to look
up the architectural requirements for the City of Milton and send them those for their review. In
particular, they would prefer the building look more like a "barn" than the existing training/office
building next door. I said that Jennifer would definitely need to be consulted on that item. If the
building cannot look like a barn, they would prefer "muted colors" for the exterior.
• They are also concerned about the removal of the mulch and previously cleared landscaping and
trees that are currently near the building footprint. I assured them these would be removed prior
to building construction.
• Finally they wanted to make sure that the portion of the variance asking for deletion of the 75'
buffer and 10' setback had been taken off the table. I assured them that it had and the plans had
been revised to show the 75' buffer planted where no existing structures are today.
I did walk over to the building site with them where our surveyors had staked the approximate building
location so they could see everything for themselves and I think reassured them on some points.

SUBJECT SITE
SUBJECT SITE:
The subject site is currently zoned O-I (Office-Institutional) and developed
pursuant to RZ06-051 which was approved for a 38 child, 2,000 square foot day
care within the existing structure at an overall density of 1,470.59 square feet per
acre.
Standards of Review
(Article 28.4.1) Planning Staff shall, with respect to each zoning application,
investigate and make a recommendation with respect to factors A. through G.,
below, as well as any other factors it may find relevant.
A. Whether or not the proposal will permit a use that is suitable in view of the
use and development of adjacent and nearby Property?
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Mayor & City Council Meeting on January 24, 2008
1/15/2008 Page 5 of 19
RZ07-020/VC07-015 R/A RZ06-051
The proposed day care facility, if developed with Staff’s Recommended
Conditions, is suitable for the subject site given similar zonings/uses in the
area.
B. Whether or not the proposal will adversely affect the existing use or
usability of adjacent or nearby property?
In Staff's opinion, the proposed development will not have an adverse
effect on the use or usability of adjacent and nearby properties if
developed in accordance with the Recommended Conditions.
C. 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 as currently zoned.
D. 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 and
facilities. However, some impact on the surrounding transportation system
is expected but should be mitigated with compliance to the attached
Recommended Conditions for project improvements.
E. Whether the proposal is in conformity with the policies and intent of the
land use plan?
The proposed expansion of the day care facility is consistent with the
policies and intent of the Focus Fulton 2025 Comprehensive Land Use
Plan. A brief description of the project is noted below.
Focus Fulton 2025 Land Use Plan Map: Office
Proposed use/density:
Day Care Facility/ 2,647 square feet per acre
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map suggests the subject site and the
properties to the east and west as appropriate for office development.
For the properties to the north across Webb Road, the Plan Map suggests
Neighborhood Living-Working. For the properties to the south, the Plan
Map suggests commercial development. Further to the north, the Plan

RZ07-020/VC07-015 R/A RZ06-051
Map suggests residential development at 1 to 2 units per acre. Further to
the west are the City Limits of Alpharetta.
The Milton City Council adopted the Focus Fulton 2025 Comprehensive
Plan as the City’s Comprehensive Plan on November 21, 2006. The
proposed development is consistent with the following Plan Policies:
• Encourage development of community services (such
as day care facility) to support employers and
employees.
• Encourage day care centers to locate near or in
activity nodes and corridors and to be accessible to
the residential population.
F. 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?
Existing zonings, current non-residential development trends in the area,
adopted land use policies and recent Board action for approving similar
zonings in the area support this request for a day care facility on the
subject site.
G. 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 is not considered environmentally adverse affecting
natural resources, the environment, or the citizens of Milton.

H. Suitability of the subject property under the existing zoning district for the
proposed use?
The existing zoning district for the subject property is suitable for the
proposed use.
I. Suitability of the subject property under the proposed zoning district for the
proposed use?
The proposed zoning district for the subject property is suitable for the
proposed use.
J. The possible creation of an isolated zoning district unrelated to adjacent
and nearby districts.
The proposed rezoning would not create an isolated zoning district to
adjacent and nearby districts.
K. Possible effects of the change of the zoning or change in use on the
character of a zoning district or overlay district?
There will not be any effect on the character of the zoning district or
overlay district.
L. Whether the proposed zoning will be a deterrent to the value or
improvement of development of adjacent property in accordance with
existing regulations?
The proposed zoning will not be a deterrent to the value or improvement
of development of adjacent properties since the surrounding properties
are recommended to be Office uses as well.
M. The possible impact on the environment, including but not limited to,
drainage, soil erosion and sedimentation, flooding, air quality and water
quality?
There should not be any negative impact on the environment if the
recommended conditions are approved.
N. The relation that the proposed zoning bears on the purpose of the overall
Land Use Plan with due consideration given to whether or not the
proposed change will carry out the purposes of this Land Use Plan.

RZ07-020/VC07-015 R/A RZ06-051
The proposed rezoning as submitted is consistent with the overall Focus
Fulton 2025 Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the area because the
proposed day care facility is consistent with the recommended Office
land use.
O. The consideration of the preservation of the integrity of residential
neighborhoods shall be considered to carry great weight. In those
instances in which property fronts on a major thoroughfare and also
adjoins an established residential neighborhood, the factor of preservation
of the residential area shall be considered to carry great weight.
The proposed expansion of the day care facility will not hinder or
negatively impact residential neighborhoods.
P. The amount of undeveloped or zoned land in the general area affected
which has the same zoning or future land use classification as the
proposed rezoning.
There are currently several approved zonings and land use classifications
near the subject site that is similar to the proposed rezoning.
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Based on the applicant’s site plan submitted to the Community Development
Department on November 6, 2007 Staff offers the following considerations:
BUILDING SETBACKS
Article 8.1.3 of the Zoning Ordinance specifies the following building setbacks for
structures in the O-I (Office-Institutional) district: A 40-foot front yard setback
along Webb Road; a 20-foot side yard setback along the east and west
property lines; and a 25-foot setback along the south property line. The
applicant’s site plan indicates compliance with the required setbacks.
BUILDING HEIGHT
The proposed expansion of the day care facility will not exceed the permitted
district height of 60 feet or nearby policy of 2 stories. The applicant has
indicated that the manufactured building will be one story.
LANDSCAPE STRIPS AND BUFFERS
In accordance with Article 4.23.1 of the Zoning Ordinance, the following
landscape strips, buffers and improvement setbacks are required: a 20-foot
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Mayor & City Council Meeting on January 24, 2008
1/15/2008 Page 12 of 19
RZ07-020/VC07-015 R/A RZ06-051
landscape strip along Webb Road; a 25-foot buffer with a 10-foot improvement
setback along the east and west property lines and a 10 foot landscape strip
along the south property line adjacent to a property zoned C-1 (Community
Business). The site plan shows compliance with the landscape strips along Webb
Road, south property line and undisturbed buffers along the southern portion of
the site. A concurrent variance to reduce the 25-foot buffer and 10-foot
improvement setback to a 5-foot landscape strip along the east and west
property lines where the existing structure exists was approved by the Fulton
County Board of Commissioners pursuant to RZ06-051/VC07-060. This part of the
concurrent variance will be reflected in the Recommended Conditions. The
applicant is requesting a concurrent variance as follows:
To reduce the required 25 foot buffer and 10 foot improvement setback to a 5
foot landscape strip along the east and west property lines from the existing
building for a distance of 150 feet (Article 4.23.1).
Staff notes that with the proposed expansion, the area for a playground has
been reduced. The site is long and narrow and 25 feet of buffer on either side of
the parcel will reduce the area for the playground. Further, the septic drainage
fields are located just north of the existing play area. Based on these constraints,
Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of VC07-015.
PARKING REQUIREMENTS
The following chart illustrates the parking required by Article 18 of the City of
Milton Zoning Ordinance for the proposed uses:
Proposed Use
• Day Care Facility (3,600
sq. ft.)
Total
Minimum Requirement
• 1.7 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft.
of building area plus 1 per 4
employees on the largest
shift.
Spaces Provided
• 9 spaces provided
9 spaces provided
8 spaces required
Article 18 of the Zoning Ordinance requires 1.7 parking spaces per 1,000 square
feet plus one per 4 employees on the largest shift. Based on a 3,600 square-foot
building and a maximum of 8 employees on the largest shift, the applicant is
required to provide 8 parking spaces. The submitted site plan indicates
compliance with the parking requirements with 9 spaces provided.

On November 21, 2007 the applicant was present at the Community Zoning
Information Meeting held at the Milton City Hall. There was no one in
attendance and Staff has not received any comments regarding the rezoning.
City of Milton Design Review Board Meeting – December 4, 2007
The following comment was made by the DRB:
• To duplicate the façade of the existing building for the new building.
Public Notice Requirements
The rezoning petition was advertised in the Milton Herald on December 5, 2007
and the sign was installed before the required date of November 30 along the
frontage of Webb Road. The notice of rezoning was sent, to adjacent property
owners on December 12, 2007.
Public Participation Plan and Report
The applicant has met the requirements of the Public Participation Plan. The
applicant will be required to submit the public participation report 7 days prior
to the Mayor and City Council meeting.
CONCLUSION
Day care facilities are permitted uses within O-I (Office Institutional) zoning
districts. Furthermore, the proposed day care facility is consistent with Plan
policies and the intent of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and recent
Board action in the area. Therefore, Staff recommends RZ07-020 be APPROVED
CONDITIONAL subject to the attached Recommended Conditions. Staff also
recommends VC07-015 be APPROVED CONDITIONAL for the reduction of the
required buffers and improvement setback from the existing building for a
distance of 150 feet.

SUBJECT SITE
(Existing house to be demolished)
SUBJECT SITE:
The subject 4.09 acre site is zoned AG-1 (Agricultural) with an existing one story
residence, two-story farm house, barn, and garage. This site is east of the Crabapple
Crossroads intersection. The site is located within the Live/Work Land Use designation
on the Focus Fulton 2025 Comprehensive Future Land Use Map. Within that
designation the subject site is located within Village Mixed Use (1.74 acres) and Sub
Village Residential A (2.35 acres) land use sub areas.
Standards of Review
(Article 28.4.1) Planning Staff shall, with respect to each zoning application, investigate
and make a recommendation with respect to factors A. through G., below, as well as
any other factors it may find relevant.
A. Whether or not the proposal will permit a use that is suitable in view of the use
and development of adjacent and nearby Property?
Based on the Revised Site Plan submitted on July 12, 2007, the proposed Mixed
Use zoning is partially consistent with the Crabapple Crossroads Overlay District
Land Use Plan which recommends that this site be developed with Village Mixed
Use and Sub Residential A. However, the stated density for office, 8,620.69
square feet per acre based on 1.74 acres, is inconsistent with recent policies set
by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners for office within the Village Mixed
Use classification which range from 2,658 square feet per acre pursuant to 05Z-
117 northeast of the site to 3,802.56 square feet per acre pursuant to 06Z-047
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Milton City Council on January 24, 2008
*Based on the Revised Site Plan received by the Community Development Department on 7/12/07
1/17/2008 Page 9 of 35 RZ07-005 VC07-002
directly across the street to the north on Mayfield Road. The proposed
residential density of 3.83 units per acre is below the recommended residential
density of 4 units per acre.
B. Whether or not the proposal will adversely affect the existing use or usability of
adjacent or nearby property?
In Staff’s opinion, the proposed development is more intense than
recommended but will likely not have an adverse effect on the use or usability
of adjacent and nearby properties if developed with the recommended
conditions. The property to the east of the subject site is recommended for
Village Office/Residential. Office has been approved pursuant to 06Z-074 on
the north side of Mayfield Road.
C. Whether the property to be affected by the proposal has a reasonable
economic use as currently zoned?
The subject site appears to have a reasonable use as currently zoned with the
existing farm house and associated buildings within the AG-1 (Agricultural)
district.
D. 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 and facilities.
However, some impact to the surrounding transportation system is expected.
Mitigation of adverse impacts is addressed by recommended conditions.
E. Whether the proposal is in conformity with the policies and intent of the land use
plan?
The proposed mixed use development is inconsistent with some of the policies
and intent of the Crabapple Crossroads Community Plan and the Focus Fulton
2025 Land Use Plan. A brief description of the project is noted below:
Proposed use/density:
Village Mixed Use (1.74 acres along Mayfield Road)
The revised site plan submitted July 12, 2007 proposes 15,000 square feet of
medical office within 4 newly constructed buildings (Buildings #1-#4) at a density
of 8,620.69 square feet per acre based on 1.74 acres. The density for office is
more than recent Board Policy and is below the recommended density for
office per the Crabapple Crossroads Plan of 10,000 square feet per acre. The
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Milton City Council on January 24, 2008
*Based on the Revised Site Plan received by the Community Development Department on 7/12/07
1/17/2008 Page 10 of 35 RZ07-005 VC07-002
site plan indicates that Building 1 is partially located within the Sub Village A Sub
Area. Although it is inconsistent with the Plan, it appears that by moving this
building further south; the large 52” White Oak near the northeast corner can be
preserved.
The applicant is proposing 3,500 square feet of retail commercial in Building #5
at a density of 2,011.5 square feet per acre. This is consistent with previous Board
Policy for approved retail commercial uses in the area. Staff notes that the
applicant originally proposed preserving the Dinsmore Farm House which is listed
on the 1996 Fulton County Historic Resources Survey. Based on the revised site
plan, the Dinsmore Farm House will be removed because of extensive
deterioration and the presence of lead and asbestos in the building. The
applicant has stated that he is willing to replicate the home with one of the
newly constructed buildings. A previous site plan submitted on July 10, 2007 was
presented to the City of Milton Design Review Board on July 10, 2007. The DRB
was not opposed to the demolition of the house and supported the idea of it
being replicated on the site.
Staff notes the request for office and retail commercial is inconsistent with the
policy and intent of the Plan and past Board policy of upholding the maximum
100,000 square feet for each office and retail commercial for the Crabapple
Crossroads Overlay District.
Sub Village Residential A- (2.35 acres)
The revised site plan proposes 4 duplexes and 1 single family residence for a
total of (9) single family residences at a density of 3.83 units per acre based on
the 2.35 acres within the Sub Village Residential A sub area. This is below the
recommended density of 4 units per acre for Sub Village Residential A.
Permitted residential uses include duplex, single family alley access, single family
small lot and single family standard lot A. According to the revised site plan,
indicating 4 duplex residential units and 1 single family alley access lot, it is
consistent with the Crabapple Crossroads Plan.
The Milton City Council adopted the Focus Fulton 2025 Comprehensive Plan as
the City’s Comprehensive Plan on December 21, 2006. The proposed
development is partially consistent with the following Plan Policies for the
Crabapple Crossroads Community Plan which was included in the Focus Fulton
2025 Comprehensive Plan:
• Increase transportation choices and improve mobility for all users.
• Provide opportunities for mixed-use developments that are compatible
with a village-oriented development.
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Milton City Council on January 24, 2008
*Based on the Revised Site Plan received by the Community Development Department on 7/12/07
1/17/2008 Page 11 of 35 RZ07-005 VC07-002
• Provide for the transition of land uses from higher to lower intensity land
uses in a pattern that supports village type development.
• Provide a variety of housing choices in the Crabapple Crossroads area.
F. 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?
Staff notes that within the Crabapple Crossroads Community Plan, “Node
Designation” was discussed in detail. This plan was approved by the Fulton
County Board of Commissioners on June 4, 2003 pursuant to 2003Z-016. Previous
approved Plans defined a “Neighborhood Node” as a node that:
“Consist of up to 100,000 square feet of retail and service uses and office uses
not to exceed 20,000 square feet per acre with a maximum of 100,000 square
feet in total office uses. Minor arterials and collectors are appropriate for
neighborhood commercial. Residential development in the neighborhood node
should not exceed five units per acre.”
Historically, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners have considered the
“Neighborhood Node” (100,000 square foot cap for retail/commercial and
100,000 square foot cap for office) for Crabapple Crossroads when reviewing
and deciding on zoning cases before them.
Staff has compiled a chart showing the approved zonings and their approved
densities which is included at the end of this report. At this point in time, the
allotted total square footage of 100,000 square feet for both Commercial/Retail
and Office has been filled and any additional approval of Commercial/Retail or
Office would be inconsistent with the Crabapple Crossroads Community Plan
and policy for the Crabapple Crossroads.
G. 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?
Based on the revised site plan submitted, the applicant shows the following
specimen trees to be preserved:
• 52” White Oak, 50” White Oak, 36” Red Oak, 27” Red Oak.
In addition, the applicant will utilize a pervious pavement system to help reduce
water runoff.
H. Existing uses and zoning of nearby property (See Map following table)

I. Suitability of the subject property under the existing zoning district for the
proposed use?
The proposed use cannot be developed under the AG-1 (Agricultural) district.
The applicant is requesting a higher density of residential as well as office and
commercial uses that are not permitted under AG-1.
J. Suitability of the subject property under the proposed zoning district for the
proposed use?
The proposed use is suitable for the proposed zoning district of MIX (Mixed
Use).This zoning district allows for a mix of uses as proposed for various types of
residential, office and commercial/retail development.
K. The possible creation of an isolated zoning district unrelated to adjacent and
nearby districts.
The proposed rezoning to MIX (Mixed Use) would not create an isolated district.
There is MIX (Mixed Use) to the north of the development and
Commercial/Retail further to the west and southwest.
L. Possible effects of the change of the zoning or change in use on the character of
a zoning district or overlay district?
Staff is of the opinion that the change of the zoning district and the change in
use may have an adverse effect on the character of the existing zoning district
or existing overlay district as currently proposed. Allowing the development to
have more square footage than existing Board Policy creates more intensity of
development which thwarts the objective of the overall Crabapple Crossroads
Plan. Positive results would occur if it is developed with the alternate conditions
that allow only residential development at the recommended densities of the
Crabapple Crossroads Plan. Development consistent with the plan would
solidify the character of the area.
M. Whether the proposed zoning will be a deterrent to the value or improvement of
development of adjacent property in accordance with existing regulations?
Staff is of the opinion that the change in the zoning may not be a deterrent to
the value of adjacent properties developed or anticipated to be developed
under existing regulations
N. The possible impact on the environment, including but not limited to, drainage,
soil erosion and sedimentation, flooding, air quality and water quality?

Milton City Council on January 24, 2008
*Based on the Revised Site Plan received by the Community Development Department on 7/12/07
1/17/2008 Page 15 of 35 RZ07-005 VC07-002
This property, if developed under the proposed zoning district, must conform to
the current Chapter 14 of the Milton City Code regarding Land Development
including Soil and Erosion Control and Flood Damage Prevention. The applicant
has not indicated the percentage of open space for this petition. Based on the
site plan submitted the proposal appears to meet the 10 percent open space as
required by the Crabapple Crossroads Community Plan.
O. The relation that the proposed zoning bears on the purpose of the overall Land
Use Plan with due consideration given to whether or not the proposed change
will carry out the purposes of this Land Use Plan.
The proposed rezoning as submitted is consistent with the overall Crabapple
Crossroads Land Use Plan for the area except the portion of the office use within
the Sub Village Residential A which does not fulfill the purpose of the Crabapple
Crossroads Land Use Plan.
P. The consideration of the preservation of the integrity of residential
neighborhoods shall be considered to carry great weight. In those instances in
which property fronts on a major thoroughfare and also adjoins an established
residential neighborhood, the factor of preservation of the residential area shall
be considered to carry great weight.
The proposed zoning indicates the non-residential uses toward Mayfield and
utilizes the residential component as a transition for residential to the south. This
is consistent with the transition to residential uses going south and non-residential
to the west and the east as shown on the Crabapple Crossroads Plan Map.
Q. The amount of undeveloped or zoned land in the general area affected which
has the same zoning or future land use classification as the proposed rezoning.
The existing approved zonings and land use classifications surrounding the
subject site are similar to the proposed rezoning.
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Based on the applicant’s revised site plan submitted to the Community Development
Department on July 12, 2007, Staff offers the following considerations:
Crabapple Crossroads Overlay District
BUILDING SETBACKS
Article 12H(1)4 Section B.1.c of the Crabapple Crossroads Overlay District requires a
maximum building setback along Mayfield Road between 0 to 10 feet maximum and
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Milton City Council on January 24, 2008
*Based on the Revised Site Plan received by the Community Development Department on 7/12/07
1/17/2008 Page 16 of 35 RZ07-005 VC07-002
requires between 10 to 20 feet maximum along Charlotte Drive. The applicant’s site
plan shows compliance with the requirement.
BUILDING HEIGHT
Article 12H.3.5.D.1. of the Northwest Fulton Overlay District requires a maximum height
limit of two stories with the maximum height 30 feet from average-finished grade to the
bottom of the roof eave. The applicant’s letter of intent does not address the height
of the newly constructed buildings.
LANDSCAPE STRIPS AND BUFFERS
Article 12H.(1).4.B.1.a. requires an 8-foot minimum landscape strip along Mayfield
Road and a 7-foot minimum landscape strip along Charlotte Drive. The site plan
appears to be compliant with these requirements.
Article 12H.3.1.C.2 of the Northwest Fulton Overlay District requires a 75-foot
undisturbed buffer and 10-foot improvement setback along the south property line
adjacent to AG-1, and the western property lines adjacent to AG-1. The applicant is
requesting relief from the requirement as follows:
Reduce the 75-foot undisturbed buffer and 10-foot improvement setback adjacent to
AG-1 (Agricultural) zoned property to a 15-foot landscape strip.
The proposed office and retail is inconsistent with the Crabapple Overlay District Plan
and recent Board policy of limiting office and retail to 100,000 square foot cap for
office and retail. Therefore, Staff recommends DENIAL of the concurrent variance.
PARKING REQUIREMENTS
The following chart illustrates the parking required by Article 18 of the City of Milton
Zoning Ordinance for the proposed uses:
Proposed Use Minimum Requirement Spaces Provided
Medical Office 4 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of
(15,000 sq.ft.) building area (60 spaces)
Retail Commercial 5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of
(3,500 sq.ft.) Building area (18 spaces)
Total 78 spaces required 76 spaces provided
The site plan shows a total of 76 spaces on the site. Per the Zoning Ordinance, 78
spaces are required which is 2 more than provided. The applicant may request an
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Milton City Council on January 24, 2008
*Based on the Revised Site Plan received by the Community Development Department on 7/12/07
1/17/2008 Page 17 of 35 RZ07-005 VC07-002
administrative variance for a 10 percent reduction in parking which would bring the
development in compliance. Staff notes that the plan does not indicate a 10-foot
parking island for every 6th parking space. In addition it does not indicate the required
10 foot landscape island at the end of each parking bay. It appears there will be
adequate space as well as providing areas for existing trees to have the needed
pervious area for their root systems.
MINIMUMM LOT SIZE
The applicant has proposed a total of 9 residential units as follows:
Sub Area Number and Type Minimum Lot Size
Sub Village Residential A 8 duplexes within 4 N/A
buildings
Sub Village Residential A 1 single family alley Up to 4,800 square feet
access residential
The applicant’s request is consistent with Article 12H(1).6.B.1. The site plan is consistent
with the recommended housing types for Sub Village A.
MINIMUM HEATED FLOOR AREA
The applicant is requesting the following minimum heated floor areas:
• Duplexes – 1,800 square feet
• Single Family Residential – 3,000 square feet
The applicant’s request is consistent with recent approvals in the area.
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The applicant is requesting the development standards as follows:
Buildings A-H: Duplexes
Building I: Single family alley access
The applicant has not indicated any specific setbacks for the two types of residential
development. The duplexes and single family alley access unit must conform to the
following Crabapple Crossroads Overlay District for Required Building Setbacks and
Frontage:
Lot Size: Up to 4,800 square feet
Minimum Lot Frontage: 20 feet
Maximum Front Yard Setback: 10 feet
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Milton City Council on January 24, 2008
*Based on the Revised Site Plan received by the Community Development Department on 7/12/07
1/17/2008 Page 18 of 35 RZ07-005 VC07-002
Minimum Side Yard Setback: 5 feet
Minimum Rear Yard Setback: 5 feet
Medical Office Buildings and Commercial Retail – Village Mixed Use
Per the revised site plan submitted July 12, 2007:
Building #1 Medical Office: 5,000 square feet
Building #2 Medical Office: 3,000 square feet
Building #3 Medical Office: 3,000 square feet
Building #4 Medical Office: 4,000 square feet
Building #5 Retail Commercial 3,500 square feet
The site plan indicates four (4) medical office buildings that are a maximum of 5,000
square feet in size. As noted previously, the applicant will not be keeping the Dinsmore
House but is willing to replicate it on the site. If approved, the conditions will reflect the
4 buildings with a total of 15,000 square feet and 1 building with 3,500 square feet for
retail commercial. The Crabapple Crossroads Overlay District does not address size of
buildings, but in the Crabapple Crossroads Plan states that building size and setback
should conform to the Northwest Fulton Overlay District standards. Non-institutional
buildings shall be no larger than 25,000 square feet and buildings within 400 feet of an
intersection shall have a 20-foot separation from one another. It appears that the
proposed site plan conforms to these standards.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
The revised site plan shows a new road along the south property that allows for future
inter-connectivity with Mid Broadwell Road. Staff notes that the proposed road is only
25 feet and the minimum right of way width required to develop this road is 50 feet.
The environmental Site Analysis Report (ESA) is sufficient and satisfies the requirement
of the City of Milton Zoning Ordinance.
The site plan appears to exceed the 10 percent minimum open space required by the
Crabapple Crossroads Overlay District, Article 12H(1)4.H. Staff notes that this common
area will not be part of any of the residential lots within the development. A
Homeowners Association is required to maintain the open space and it shall be
accessible by sidewalks, streets, or a trail system. Staff has included the condition for
open space and the establishment of a homeowners association in the
Recommended Conditions.
The subject site is in the Crabapple Crossroads Overlay District of the Northwest Fulton
Overlay District. At the time of application for a land disturbance permit and/or

building permit the applicant will be required to comply with these standards. Prior to
the approval of a permit, the applicant shall be required to meet with the City of
Milton Design Review Board to receive their recommendations.
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
On May 23, 2007 the applicant was present at the Community Zoning Information
Meeting held at the Milton City Hall. There were three people in attendance that
represented the applicant, the seller and the agent for the seller. There was no one
from the community at the meeting.
Staff has received two e-mails in opposition to the proposed development which is
attached. The applicant is planning to meet with members of the community the
week of July 16 to address any concerns or questions they may have.
City of Milton Design Review Board Meeting – June 5, 2007
The following recommendations were made by the DRB:
• Situate town homes closer together to eliminate encroachment of decks into
the buffer.
• Eliminate/reduce individual driveways.
• Make access to town homes one way.
• Use pervious materials for the extra spaces.
• Exterior sidewalks should meander along frontage, following terrain.
• Provide some kind of decorative feature at corner to draw people to the site.
• Move corner building closer to the street – no more than 20 feet from the corner.
City of Milton Design Review Board Meeting – July 12, 2007
The applicant submitted the July 10, 2007 revised site plan for review by the DRB. They
also were not opposed to the elimination of the Dinsmore Farm House and for it to be
replicated on the site.

CONCLUSION
The proposed office, commercial retail and residential development is inconsistent
with the policies and intent of the Crabapple Crossroads Plan and the Fulton County
Board of Commissioners policy; therefore, Staff recommends that this request to MIX
(Mixed Use) and the Concurrent Variance be DENIED. A set of Alternate Conditions
are included to allow the site to be rezoned to NUP (Neighborhood Unit Plan)
developed with 8 units of residential at a density of 4.6 units per acre within the Village
Mixed Use and 9 units of residential at a density of 3.83 units per acre within the Sub
Village A Residential or an overall density of 4.16 units per acre. A set of
Recommended Conditions are included if the Mayor and City Council chooses to
approve the proposed development as submitted.

COUNCIL VOTED TO DEFER TO THE JANUARY 24, 2008 MEETING
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Mayor and City Council Meeting on January 24, 2008

Condition to be Modified:
Z06-051/VC07-070
3. To the owners agreement to the following site development
considerations:
a. Reduce the required 25-foot buffer and 10-foot improvement
setback to a 5-foot landscape strip along the east and west
property lines only in the area of the existing driveway,
structure and parking areas. (VC07-070)
Analysis and Recommendation:
The subject site is developed with a child care/Montessori school within an
existing single family residence. It was rezoned from AG-1 to O-I pursuant to Z06-
051/VC07-070 for a maximum density of 1,470.59 square feet of gross floor area
per acre zoned or a total area of 2,000 square feet. The applicant requested a
concurrent variance to reduce the required 25-foot buffer and 10-foot
improvement setback to a 5 foot landscape strip for 150 feet along the east and
west property lines. The Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved a 5
foot landscape strip in lieu of the 25 foot buffer and 10 foot improvement
setback along the east and west property lines, only in the area of the existing
driveway, structure and parking areas. The applicant had asked during the
public hearing to extend it another 150 feet as currently requested. It was
approved per Staff conditions which did not include the 150 feet beyond the
building. The applicant had thought it was approved the way she had
requested it.
The applicant obtained a fence permit for the chain link fence from Fulton
County prior to the incorporation of the city. The permit was incorrectly
approved to be located five feet interior to the property lines.
Because of the long and narrow shape of the lot, approximately 117 feet wide,
the required 70 feet (25-foot buffer and 10-foot improvement setback on both
the east and west property lines) leaves approximately 47 feet for the play
areas. The applicant has stated in her Letter of Intent that because of the
narrow width of the property it is a hardship that is not self imposed. Since the
November 15, 2007 City Council meeting, a site plan depicting the existing
septic drainage field has been included in the Staff analysis. Based on this plan,
it appears that there is little room to provide a play yard except where the
undisturbed buffer is required per the ordinance.
Staff notes that the majority of parcels surrounding the site have been rezoned
from AG-1 (Agricultural) to office or commercial uses. The Focus Fulton 2025 Plan
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Mayor and City Council Meeting on January 24, 2008
1/17/2008 Page 2 of 12 ZM07-006 Revised
recommends this area to be Office Institutional along the south side of Webb
Road. The Plan also recommends the area adjacent to the south be developed
Commercial. It appears that this area will continue to redevelop from single
family residences to non-residential uses in the near future. The applicant states
that she has a letter of support from the property owner adjacent to the site that
is currently zoned AG-1 (Agricultural) and has the support of the other adjacent
AG-1 (Agricultural) zoned property owner and is obtaining a letter from him.
Staff is of the opinion that the issue of narrowness of the parcel and the area
needed for the septic drainage field demonstrates a hardship that is not self-
imposed. Play equipment is not allowed on the drainage field area. The
applicant also has submitted a letter signed by both property owners to the east
and the west no opposing the request. Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL
CONDITIONAL of the requested modification to condition 3.a.
CONCLUSION:
Should the Mayor and City of Council approve this petition, the Recommended
Conditions (Z96-0051) should be revised to read as follows:
3. To the owners agreement to the following site development
considerations:
a. Reduce the required 25-foot buffer and 10-foot improvement
setback to a 5-foot landscape strip along the east and west
property lines in the area of the existing driveway,
structure and parking area and 150 feet beyond the existing
building. The size, type and location of plantings in the 5 foot
landscape strip are to be approved by the City Arborist.

REMARKS:
City of Milton
13000 Deerfield Parkway, Milton, Georgia 30004
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Charles Millican, Interim Director of Public Safety
Date: January 17, 2008
Agenda Item: Approval of a grant application to the US Smokeless Tobacco Company for the
Provision of a Polaris Ranger ATV.
CMO (City Manager’s Office) Recommendation:
Adopt the attached resolution approving the submission to the US Smokeless Tobacco
Company the application for the grant provision of a Polaris Ranger ATV under the auspices of
the 2008 “Operation Ranger” program, and authorizing the Mayor to execute all required grant
documents should the grant be awarded.
Background:
The purpose of the US Smokeless Tobacco Company’s “Operation Ranger” is to award a grant
directly to public safety departments to enhance their response capability by providing a multi-
purpose ATV with off-road capabilities in more rural environments. The grant involves the direct
provision of a Polaris Ranger All-Terrain Vehicle to various public safety departments
throughout the country.
Discussion
The City of Milton encompasses large tracts of rugged, undeveloped land. The Milton
Department of Public Safety has, on occasion, a need to provide emergency medical services,
fire suppression or police patrols in these difficult to access areas. Typical police and fire
vehicles are not equipped to access these areas, necessitating public safety employees’
reliance on foot access to these areas. Anecdotally, on one occasion, this has resulted in the
victim of a fall off a horse in the middle of a pasture having to be immobilized and extricated out
of the pasture by foot since the area was inaccessible by vehicle.
The Polaris Ranger is a true multi-purpose vehicle. The item features a six-wheel drive all
terrain vehicle with a pick-up style bed in the back. This vehicle may be easily converted for
both fire suppression and emergency medical use through the purchase of a “skid” that includes
a back-board for secure patient transport as well as a 100 gallon tank for fire suppression. The
vehicle can also be used for police patrols in these same hard to reach areas. This will provide
us not only with the ability to deploy the Ranger to access these rugged areas of the City, but
also to provide an all-purpose vehicle to deploy at community events to ensure the safety of the
community at public events.
Funding and Fiscal Impact:
1
City of Milton
13000 Deerfield Parkway, Milton, Georgia 30004
Operation Ranger is essentially a direct-grant program where the requested item is provided
directly to the requesting agency. There is no required match or fiscal impact for the City other
than the maintenance and fueling of the item.
The provision of any accoutrements that the MDPS deems necessary for operation (such as
lights, or a water tank for fire suppression) may be a long term cost of the item. However, any
such additions can be made as finances allow, and are not necessary for the immediate
deployment.
Alternatives:
MDPS can continue to use various ad hoc means to access the more rugged areas of the City.
While not optimal, the Fire and Police Departments would still be able to provide their services
though other means, including by foot and by limited vehicle access.
