Agenda Item: Financial Status Report for Period 8 -May 2008
OVERVIEW and FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
General Fund
As of the close of period 8, May 2008, the revenue collections are coming in at a rate that
is 2.70%less than expected and expenditures are 7.68%less than expected.
Please note that the proposed budget amendments are not included in these financial
reports. We recently received the invoice for the City Hall lease, bringing the variance in
expenditures closer to the expected amount tedate. Even though we have identified
additional sources of revenue that weren't included in the original budget, we are
continuing to track revenues and expenditures closeIy.
Capital Project Fund
Expenditures within this fund continue to occur on a project-by-project basis. With a
total project expenditure budget of $1,929,762, capital expenditures-to-date total
$187,786.

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 19.4.10. 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 church 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.
D. The effect of the proposed use on traffic flow, vehicular and pedestrian,
along adjoining streets;
The proposed use may generate an increase in traffic primarily on
Sundays, but recommended conditions should mitigate the increase in
traffic. The applicant is conditioned to providing a full access from
Bethany Bend Road and an entrance-only access from Cogburn Road
because of lack of sight distance. In addition, the Milton Trail will be
developed along the north side of Bethany Bend Road and the east side
of Cogburn Road.
E. The location and number of off-street parking spaces;

Article 18.2.1 requires the applicant to provide a minimum of 101 parking
spaces for the proposed development. Article 19.4.10 requires the
applicant to locate parking outside of the minimum 60-foot front yard
building setback and indicated compliance on the site plan. Staff notes
that the applicant’s site plan indicates 199 parking spaces which exceeds
the minimum parking requirement. The site plan indicated that the
parking is 75 feet from the north property line, which is 40 feet farther than
the required 25 feet undisturbed buffer and 10-foot improvement setback.
F. The amount and location of open space;
The applicant’s site plan indicates that approximately one third of the
subject site is undeveloped. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed
development will provide adequate open space for the proposed
development, but the amount of open space would be greater without
the proposed excessive parking.
G. Protective screening;
If developed in accordance with the requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance and the State Route 9 Overlay District, the buffer and
landscape strip requirements and the existing screening around the
structures will provide adequate screening for the proposed
development. Staff notes that with the additional 40 feet of setback
along the north property line, required recompense trees can be planted
in this area to further screen the adjacent residential properties to the
north.
H. Hours and manner of operation;
The applicant has stated that the operations for the church will be
primarily on Sunday. The applicant specified that this particular church
would most likely start off with two (2) services on Sunday, meeting at two
separate times and not overlapping, with the potential of a third if later
needed. There is potential for up to three (3) overlapping services. The
first service would begin around 9:00 a.m. and the overlapping services
would last into the afternoon. There will be two congregations or “wards”
meeting at the same time for approximately an hour. One ward would
be in the sanctuary while the other would be meeting in the classrooms.
The facility also has the potential to hold community gatherings during the
week, but these are subject to demand. Staff is of the opinion that this
use will not negatively impact the adjacent properties if the Staff’s
Recommended Conditions are implemented to minimize the increased
number of trips generated by the use. Typically, this type of use is utilized
by residents and employees who are already utilizing the surrounding
road system.
I. Outdoor lighting;

Mayor & City Council Meeting on July 21, 2008
6/30/2008 Page 11 of 23
U08-03
At the time of Land Disturbance Permit the site shall be in compliance with
Article 12G.4.D of the State Route 9 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.
J. Ingress and egress to the property.
The applicant’s site plan indicates one curb cut on Cogburn Road for
entrances only and one full access curb cut on Bethany Bend Road. Staff
notes that the curb cuts do not currently exist. Staff further notes that the
Traffic Engineer estimates 232 trips per day with 116 peak hour trips for one
service or ward at a time. Given the limited use of the subject site, Staff is
of the opinion that the proposed development will have limited impact
upon the community.
Based on the results of the above Use Permit considerations that demonstrate
the proposed church an appropriate use for the site, Staff recommends
APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of U08-03.
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Based on the applicant’s site plan submitted to the Community Development
Department on June 4, 2008, Staff offers the following considerations:
USE PERMIT STANDARDS
The site plan is in compliance with the development standards of Article 19.4.10
for a Church.
BUILDING SETBACKS
Article 5.1.3 AG-1 (Agricultural) states that the following building setbacks are
required for the proposed development:
• Front Yard Setback: 60 feet
• Minimum Side Yard: 25 feet adjacent to interior line, 40 feet adjacent to
street
• Rear Yard Setback: 50 feet
The site plan indicates compliance with the above stated building setbacks.
BUILDING HEIGHT
Article 5.1.3 limits the building height to 40 feet in AG-1 zoning. The applicant
has not specifically indicated the height of the proposed structure, but must
meet this standard before obtaining a building permit. Staff notes that the
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Mayor & City Council Meeting on July 21, 2008
6/30/2008 Page 12 of 23
U08-03
zoning districts’ maximum height limitation for structures does not apply to
church spires and belfries (Article 4.3.3.).
State Route 9 Overlay District
LANDSCAPE STRIPS AND BUFFERS
Article 12G.4 Section A.1 of the State Route 9 Overlay District requires a minimum
20-foot wide landscape strip along both Cogburn Road and Bethany Bend
Road if the original requirements in Article 4 of the Zoning Ordinance specify a
smaller landscape strip. In Article 4.23.1, Bethany Bend Road is considered a
“side corner” and is required to have a 20-foot landscape strip, which is in
compliance with Article 12G.4 Section A.1 of the State Route 9 Overlay District.
Cogburn Road is considered the “front yard” and is required to have a 40-foot
landscaping strip, which overrides the 20-foot landscape strip required in Article
12G.4 Section A.1 of the State Route 9 Overlay District.
Article 4.23.1 reads that in AG-1, the following is required:
• Front yard landscape area- 40 feet (Cogburn Road)
• Side Corner yard landscape area- 20 feet (Bethany Bend Road)
• Side yard buffer- 25 feet and 10-foot improvement setback (North
property line)
• Rear yard buffer- 50 feet and 10-foot improvement setback (East property
line)
The applicant’s site plan appears to follow all of these requirements.
Article 12G.4 Section A.3 further states that for every thirty (30) linear feet of
landscape strip, a minimum of one 3” caliper hardwood shade tree is required
to be planted in the center of the landscape strip or as approved by the
Director.
On page 15 of this document is a map with comments made by the City
Arborist on the trees in question on the site. Tree #4 is found to be dead, and
tree #2 is not a specimen tree as indicated on the applicant’s site plan.
Because of the amount of grading that is required for the septic field, along with
the grading for the driveway and entrance on Cogburn Road, Staff believes
that the size of the required 40-foot landscape strip will not cause any hardship
to the applicant in regards to the tree save area and septic field.
PEDESTRIAN PATHS
Article 12G.4 Section C.1of the State Route 9 Overlay District requires a minimum
6-foot wide sidewalk along all public and private road frontages. The Milton Trail
requires a 10-foot asphalt multi-use path along both Cogburn Road and
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Mayor & City Council Meeting on July 21, 2008
6/30/2008 Page 13 of 23
U08-03
Bethany Bend Road adjacent to the subject property. The 10-foot asphalt multi-
use path is reflected in the Recommended Conditions.
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
• Church • 1 space per 3.5 seats (352 • 174 paved spaces
(352 seats)
seats/3.5) • 25 pervious overflow
spaces
101 spaces required 199 total spaces
Staff notes that the applicant is providing 199 parking spaces, which exceeds
the required 101 parking spaces required per Article 18 of the City of Milton
Zoning Ordinance. It also appears that the site plan is in compliance with the
landscape and layout requirements of Article 12G.4. Section F. Staff
recommends that parking spaces along the eastern portion of the parking lot
be constructed of pervious materials.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
City Arborist Comments and Map:
The site is completely wooded with lots of undergrowth from center of site
towards the northern property line. An additional site visit was made to confirm
items on the preliminary plan. There are no specimen trees located on the
eastern portion of the property although there is heavy privet and smaller
caliper trees in this area. Moving clockwise on the map, starting at the south
end of the site, the following trees have been identified:
Tree #1is 50” caliper oak shown to be saved
Tree #2 is shown as 30” caliper, but is actually 25” in good condition, trying to
save (See DRB comment)
Tree #3 is 30” caliper Oak in good condition
Tree #4 is shown as 38” caliper, but is actually 27” caliper and dead
Tree #5 is 30” caliper Oak to be saved
Tree #6 is 30” caliper Oak to be saved
Tree #7 is 40” caliper Oak to be saved
Tree #8 is 42” caliper Oak to be saved
Tree #9 is 28” caliper Hickory to be saved
Tree #10 is 28” caliper Oak to be removed

U08-03
The site plan shows a 170 square foot storage shed with dumpster and satellite
dish near Bethany Bend Road. Staff recommends that this be moved away from
the road frontage and placed elsewhere on the site. Staff notes that the
building will match the church building. Pursuant to Article 12G.4.B.4 the
dumpster shall not be placed within 50 feet of an existing residential or AG-1
(Agricultural) property line.
The applicant is also proposing a 1,800 square foot pavilion on the activity field.
Staff notes that this will not have walls and will be designed to keep in character
with the site.
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
On April 23, 2008 the applicant was present at the Community Zoning
Information Meeting held at the Milton City Hall. There were approximately forty
people in attendance from the community. Common concerns of the
proposed development dealt with issues associated with traffic, drainage,
buffers, and scheduling of services. The community and the applicant have
had continuous discussions since the Community Zoning Information Meeting
regarding the development.

U08-03
Public Comments – Staff has received emails and phone calls from the
community with various technical questions regarding the site plan.
City of Milton Design Review Board Meeting – May 6, 2008
The following recommendations were made by the DRB:
• The Board supports reducing the 40-foot landscape strip to 20 feet
to allow the applicant to move the septic tank back, and possibly
save 3 specimen trees (if healthy) (The City Arborist has determined
that one tree is dead and one is not a specimen tree.)
• Remove dumpster from Bethany Bend frontage.
• Possibly flip Scout Building with dumpster.
• Materials of dumpster, pavilion and modular wall shall match
building.
Public Notice Requirements
The use permit petition was advertised in the Milton Herald on May 14, 2008 and
the sign was installed before the required date of May 7, 2008 along the
frontages of Bethany Bend Road and Cogburn Road. The notice of a use
permit was sent to adjacent property owners on May 12, 2008. Based on the
requested deferral and withdrawal of both part 1 & 2 of the concurrent
variance, it was advertised in the Milton Herald on June 18, 2008. The sign was
installed before the required date of June 4, 2008 along the frontages of
Bethany Bend Road and Cogburn Road. The notice of a use permit was sent on
June 9, 2008.
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 church is consistent with Council and Plan Policies and
compatible with the surrounding area, if developed in accordance with the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and Staff’s Recommended Conditions.
Based on the applicant’s request to withdraw the petition, Staff recommends
WITHDRWAL of U08-03.

APPENDIX A
Comments on Public Services and Utilities
Note: Various City and/or County departments that may or may not be
affected by the proposed development provide the following information.
Comments herein are based on the applicant’s conceptual site plan and are
intended as general non-binding information and in no manner suggest a final
finding by the commenter. All projects, if approved are required to complete
the City of Milton Plan Review process prior to the commencement of any
construction activity.
Transportation:
Trip Generation 232 Sunday Peak Hour
Per the ROW Ordinance Article 8 Section 3.2.d “All signalized and all-way stop
controlled intersections shall operate at Level of Service “D” or better. Other
signalized intersections (including unsignalized private accesses) shall operate at
LOS “E” or better for major left turns and Side Street approaches, although LOS
“F” may be allowed if the movement has a relatively low volume-to-capacity
ratio and there are no known safety problems at the intersection.”
Fulton County Health Department:
Comments:
• This department recommends that the applicant be required to connect
the proposed development to public water available to the site.
• Due to the inaccessibility of public sewer to serve the proposed
development, this department recommends that individual onsite
sewage management systems be utilized. However, the “Design Limits for
conventional or chamber Septic Tank Systems” for County Health
Department as defined by Georgia Department of Natural Resource
(DNR) are limited by size and subsurface introduction of effluents. Onsite
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Mayor & City Council Meeting on July 21, 2008

U08-03
sewage management systems having a septic tank capacity of greater
than ten thousand (10,000) gallons, or where the total length of absorption
trenches required, would exceed three thousand (3000) linear feet, or
where the total absorption trench bottom area required, would exceed
nine thousand (9000) square feet, will be governed and placed under the
statutory authority and jurisdiction of the Department of Natural
Resources.
• Due to the inaccessibility of public sanitary sewer to sewer the proposed
development, this department recommends that individual onsite
sewage management systems be utilized. However, this department will
require all necessary percolation and soil data, required layouts, and
supportive data be submitted for review and determined acceptable
prior to preliminary plat and/or Land Disturbance Permit (LDP) approval.
• Since this proposed development constitutes a premise where people
work, live, or congregate, onsite sanitary facilities will be mandatory, prior
to use or occupancy.
• Since this development utilizes an onsite sewage management system,
the owner must obtain approval from this department prior to issuance of
a building permit and before building construction or renovation.
• This facility must comply with the Fulton County Clean Indoor Air
Ordinance.
• If this proposed development includes a food service facility, the owner
must submit kitchen plans for review and approval by this department
before issuance of a building permit and beginning construction. The
owner must obtain a food service permit prior to opening.
• This department is requiring that all existing structures to be demolished
must be inspected by a certified pest control operator to insure that the
premise is rat free. If evidence of rodent infestation is found, the property
must be baited prior to demotion.
• If this proposed development includes an existing individual onsite
sewage management system(s), and the system(s) will be abandoned, it
shall be abandoned in accordance with Fulton County regulations.
• If this proposed development includes an existing individual onsite water
supply system(s), and the system(s) will be abandoned, it shall be
abandoned in accordance with Fulton County regulations.
Fulton County Tax Assessor:
Property taxes are paid in full through 2007.

City of Milton Fire Marshal:
Comments:
• Increase of traffic in the immediate area of Bethany Bend and Cogburn
during hours of operation
• Water demands could also increase for this general area.
• Calls for service for EMS and Fire calls would also increase.
• The roadway may need to be expanded to help minimize the possible
congestion for the intersection.
City of Milton Pubic Safety:
The proposal will have a minimal impact on police services.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Jeanette Marchiafava, City Clerk and Clerk of the Court
Alice Wakefield, Community Development Director
Date:June 25, 2008 for July 7, 2008 City Council Meeting for First Presentation and onto the
July 21, 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. An amendment to the
Rules of Procedure was adopted on January 10, 2008 to Section 11 Regular Meetings, Section 12
(d) day and time of the meetings, Section 14 Agenda, Items must be placed on agenda by 5:00
p.m. no less than seven working days prior to the scheduled meeting, Section 23, Duration of
Council meetings, shall not extend beyond midnight.
Discussion:
Amendments to the amended and approved Rules and Procedures are recommended and
annotated in Section 21, Minutes, which reads as follows:
Section 21. Minutes. The clerk of the city council shall promptly
record the minutes for each city council meeting. The minutes shall
specify the names of council members present at the meeting, a
description of each motion or other proposal made at the meeting, the
name of the council member who proposed each motion, the name of the
council member who seconded each motion, and a record of all votes
(the name of each council member voting for or against a proposal shall
be recorded). Minutes will be in summary form. Minutes for zoning
City of Milton
13000 Deerfield Parkway, Suite 107, Milton, Georgia 30004
agenda items will be verbatim. More detailed information may be
included in the minutes at the request of the city council.
Staff’s recommendation is that summarized minutes would be consistent with all agenda items
and would have less impact of personnel time to prepare verbatim minutes for zoning items.
Given the number and length of meetings, it would require a single staff person devoted to
transcribing minutes. Each meeting is recorded. The recording equipment is such that you can
easily find a particular topic that was discussed. Citizens can come in and listen to the recording
in its entirety or of a particular matter. Copies of the entire recording or a particular issue can
easily be copied and provided upon request. In the event there is a legal action requiring a
transcript, staff can transcribe that portion of the meeting. Finally, in an effort to “go green”
and be environmentally sensitive, summary minutes would have impact on the environment
through less use of paper.

Fiscal Year 2008
Summary of Departmental Budget Amendments
Fiscal Year 2008 Budget Amendment
The goal of the fiscal year 2008 budget amendment is to provide an opportunity for each department to
request funding to cover expenditures incurred as either unforeseen or omitted from the original budget
passed by the City Council on September 20, 2007.
General Fund
The General Fund is the principal operating fund of the government and is used to facilitate current year
operations. General Fund revenues are revenues with unrestricted use. Expenditure requests are
categorized into two categories: Salary/Benefits and Maintenance/Operating. Salary / benefits line items
include salaries, overtime, vacation pay, retirement and other associated payroll expenditures. The
maintenance / operating category includes expenditures related to operational line items such as,
supplies, professional fees, training, dues/fees, travel, utilities, communications, machinery &
equipment, etc.
GENERAL FUND SUMMARY:
Revenue Appropriation Increase: 369,602 $
Expenditure Appropriation Increase: 369,602 $
Net Revenue/(Expenditure) Requests: $
Revenue Amendments:
The change in original revenue estimates for the following revenue sources is driven by analysis of activity
for the months of October – April. A projection was completed using available data indicating the fiscal
year 2008 revenue estimates could be adjusted by the amounts indicated in the table on page 3. Some of
the most significant changes are explained as follows:
1. In order to properly account for property tax revenues, real and personal property have been split
out into separate line items. A decrease of $(153,000) in Real Property Taxes is offset by an
increase in Personal Property taxes of $153,000.
2. Prior Year Property Taxes for Real and Personal Property were not included in the revenue
estimates for the adopted budget. An increase of $500,000 and $30,000, respectively, is
recommended to account for these collections.
3. Utility Property Taxes was not included in the original budget and is represented by an increased
of $576,277.
4. Intangible Tax, Real Estate Transfer Tax, Zoning and Land Use Permits and Land Disturbance
Permits are driven by the real estate market conditions. The market is projected to slowly recover
from the recession it is currently in, but revenues aren’t anticipated to meet the original forecasts.
Therefore, these budgets have been decreased by a total of $(282,198). On the other hand,
Building Permit revenues have already exceeded the initial projections due, in large part, to the
Sembler development. As a result, an estimated increase of $80,000 is proposed.
5. The historical analysis of Franchise Fees and Local Option Sales Taxes is trending higher than
anticipated. We are proposing an increase of $95,924 and $44,269, respectively.
6. Municipal Court Administrative Fees and Fines and Forfeitures are trending significantly lower
than anticipated. A proposed decrease of $(331,119) and $(514,247) is being submitted.

Fiscal Year 2008 Budget Amendment
Expenditure Amendments:
For comparative purposes, it is important that we mimic a traditionalstyle government when reporting the actual
cost of providing services to our citizens. Given our public/private partnershipstyle of government, it is somewhat
difficult to capture the actual cost since it is lumped into the contract price. There are two ways to allocate the
contract price between each department: number of employees or benchmarking against other cities our size. The
easiest method is to use the “number of employees” approach, but it may not be as accurate as possible. For
instance, Public Works has a small number of employees, but the work they perform carries a higher cost than other
departments. The most logical method is to start with benchmarking against other cities and then finetune it to our
situation. After analyzing the initial budgeted allocations, it is evident that the contract costs should be reallocated;
therefore, an adjustment has been made in each department.
In keeping with the same topic of mimicking a traditionalstyle of government, it is also essential that we maintain
the same type of departments within our budget. Typically you won’t see a department for a Program Management.
Instead of appropriating costs separately for the Program Manager, we are proposing that those associated costs be
allocated among all of the other departments. The two line items in each department that will be affected are the
CH2M Hill contract costs and the City Hall lease expense.
The recommended expenditure amendments are presented on the following pages by department.

APPLICANT’S REQUEST:
1) To modify Condition 2.a. of RZ03-140 (ZM06-011 NFC), to modify the site plan.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
ZM08-02 – Staff’s opinion is that the proposed revised site plan is consistent with the
approved zoning pursuant to RZ03-120 and current development regulations. Based on
the current approved Inter Government Agreement with Fulton County, this site is not
included in the agreement and therefore does not have legal access to sanitary sewer.
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION – MAY 19, 2008
ZM08-02 – DEFERRAL UNTIL JUNE 16, 2008
Applicant requested a deferral to allow time to revise the submitted site plan.

Condition to by modified:
2. To the owner’s agreement to abide by the following:
a. To the site plan received by the Department of Environment and Community
Development on February 28, 2006. Said site plan is conceptual only and
must meet or exceed the requirements of the Zoning Resolution and these
conditions prior to the approval of a Land Disturbance Permit. Unless
otherwise noted herein, compliance with all conditions shall be in place prior
to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy.
Analysis and Recommendation
The subject site is located on the south side of State Route 9 (Cumming Hwy) just west of
Sunfish Bend. The site is zoned C-1 (Community Business) and is approved for the
development of 62,240 square feet of retail, service commercial, office and accessory
uses at a density of 7,535.11 square feet per acre, pursuant to 2003Z-140 NFC. The
applicant’s submitted site plan shows a total of 62,240 square feet. The Fulton County
Board of Commissioners also approved a Modification of Site plan on May 5, 2006 which
included a concurrent variance to delete the required landscape strip along the west
and south sides of the detention pond. Staff notes that on the current plan submitted, the
detention is located on the southern portion of the site. The detention facility will be a four
sided walled pond in the ground which will appear to be natural from all sides of the
detention facility. The revised site plan appears to be a better solution for development
on this property than the previous plans.
It is the Mayor and City Council’s policy to require a 6-foot wide concrete sidewalk along
the entire frontage of the property with a minimum 4.5 foot grass strip between the
sidewalk and the back of curb, and shall have a transverse double row of faux concrete
brick pavers every 50 feet along Hwy 9. In addition, a black four-board-equestrian-styled
fence adjacent to the sidewalk between the sidewalk and the development is also
required. Both of these design standards are included in the recommended conditions.
The applicant’s site plan indicates a total of 230 parking spaces. The City of Milton Zoning
Ordinance requires a total of 279 parking spaces. The applicant may request an
administrative reduction of 10 percent to reduce the required parking by 28 spaces for a
total of 251 spaces. At the time of a land disturbance permit submittal, a total of 251
spaces would be required to be shown or a reduction in size of the building to meet the
requirement.
City Arborist
After meeting with Eric Johansen with the Inland Group (site designer for the applicant)
and Dan Drake of the Milton Public Works Department the following was discussed; the
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Mayor and City Council Meeting on July 7, 2008
6/30/2008 Page 7 of 12
ZM08-02
40-inch oak tree (at the proposed entrance) is in the existing Georgia DOT right-of-way
and clear zone and Mr. Drake state the tree is a liability and Georgia DOT would require
its removal. Regarding the 30-inch oak further to the north, the Arborist originally
requested that it be preserved, however, Mr. Drake informed Community Development
Staff, that the 40-inch oak will be in the new Georgia DOT right-of-way and again Georgia
DOT will require it to be removed. The tree is not in the right of way at this time and will be
removed because of development and will therefore, have to have recompense.
Most of the required undisturbed buffer is void of vegetation and a significant amount of
concrete slab exists within it and must be removed to allow the replanting. There is some
existing vegetation.

Due to building configuration refinements that have been made in regard to the overall
development, the applicant is seeking to revise the site plan approved pursuant to Z003Z-
0140 NFC and ZM06-011 NFC and is therefore requesting a modification of zoning
condition 2.a. The proposed revision of the site plan will not result in an increase in density
for the overall development. Staff is of the opinion that the applicant’s request is in
harmony with the development approved by the Board of Commissioners pursuant to
2003Z-0140 NFC, as well as with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance.
Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of the proposed modification of
zoning condition 2.a.

CONCLUSION:
Should the Mayor and City of Council approve this petition, the Recommended
Conditions (RZ07-010) should be revised to read as follows:
2. To the owner’s agreement to abide by the following:
a. To the site plan received by the Department of Environment and Community
Development on May 28, 2008 (RZ03-140). Said site plan is conceptual only
and must meet or exceed the requirements of the Zoning Resolution and
these conditions prior to the approval of a Land Disturbance Permit. Unless
otherwise noted herein, compliance with all conditions shall be in place prior
to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy. (ZM08-02)
3. To the owner’s agreement to the following site development considerations:
d. Provide 6-foot wide concrete sidewalk along the entire
frontage SR 9 frontage of the property located no more than 1 foot off the
Right-of-Way line and no less than 4.5 feet behind the back of curb, and shall
have a transverse double row of faux concrete brick pavers every
50 feet as approved by the Public Works Director for Milton.
e. Provide a black four-board-equestrian-styled fence adjacent to
the sidewalk between the sidewalk and the development or
as approved by the Director of Community Development.

trails or sidewalks as may be required by the Director of Public Works.
g. Provide construction of a standard 4-foot wide bicycle lane across the entire
property frontage of SR 9.
