Condition to be Modified:
(Z05-029)
1. To the owner’s agreement to abide by the following:
a. To the revised site plan received by the Community Development
Department on August 26, 2005 (ZM05-063). 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. In the event the Recommended
Conditions of Zoning cause the approved site plan to be
substantially different, the applicant shall be required to complete
the concept review procedure prior to the application for a Land
Disturbance Permit. Unless otherwise noted herein, compliance
with all conditions shall be in place prior to the issuance of the first
Certificate of Occupancy.
Analysis and Recommendation:
The subject site is currently undeveloped and zoned O-I (Office-Institutional)
pursuant to Z05-029. Under the existing zoning, the Fulton County Board of
Commissioners approved Office/Institutional and accessory uses at a maximum
density of 12,844.32 square feet of gross floor area per acre zoned. Under the
original 2005 rezoning, the associated legal description contained 3.34 acres
permitting a total of 42,900 square feet to be developed. The chart below
depicts the difference between the original zoning pursuant to Z05-029 and its
maximum amount of square feet allowed and the current request for a
modification of zoning pursuant to ZM08-08 and its associated legal description
that currently contains 2.80 acres. This reduction in acreage was caused by the
applicant’s previous rezoning pursuant to RZ07-018 that was approved by the
Mayor & City Council on December 13, 2007 which included 0.54 acre that was
originally within the original Z05-029 zoning as depicted on the diagram below.

for this development. It appears that the site plan is also in compliance with the
requirement of a landscape island every 6th space except where the
underground detention is located on the southern portion of the site. The
applicant is also providing inter-parcel access with the parcel to the east.

Stream Buffer
Located on the site is a spring head and blue line stream (“state waters”) that
begin on the southern portion of the site and flows to the north toward Webb
Road. When the applicant’s rezoning Z05-029 was approved by the Fulton
County Board of Commissioners on June 1, 2005, a 25-foot undisturbed stream
buffer was required for this site. It was stated in the minutes of the meeting that
although the Fulton County Stream buffer requirement had increased to 50 feet
and an additional 25-foot impervious setback on May 4, 2005, the subject site
was “grandfathered” and only required to meet the less restrictive undisturbed
buffer of 25-feet.
The State requires a 25-foot undisturbed buffer concurrently with the City’s 50-
foot undisturbed buffer beginning at the point of wrested vegetation. An
additional 25-foot impervious surface is required outside of the 50-foot
undisturbed buffer for a total of 75 feet on each side of the stream bank (City
Code, Chapter 14: Land Development and Environmental Protection; Section 5
(a ) i. and ii.). See the diagram below:
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Mayor and City Council Meeting on December 15, 2008
11/20/2008 Page 7 of 20
ZM08-08/VC08-07
The applicant received a stream buffer variance for the State’s 25-foot buffer
from the Corps of Engineers on June 29, 2005 to pipe the stream as well as a
permit from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division’s Watershed
Protection Branch on March 27, 2006. In addition, this project has been
approved by the Fulton County Soil Water Conservation District on February 27,
2008.
The applicant submitted a variance (V08-005) to be heard by the City of Milton
Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) on February 19, 2008 as required by City Code,
Chapter 14: Land Development and Environmental Protection; Section 5 (b).
On February 26, 2008, the City of Milton BZA approved (Vote: 7-0) the variance
with conditions as follows:
1. The pipe and rip rap shall be installed as shown on plans dated 8/6/07.
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Mayor and City Council Meeting on December 15, 2008
11/20/2008 Page 8 of 20
ZM08-08/VC08-07
2. Other encroachments are allowed, as shown on plans, conditional to
Mayor and City Council’s approval of the site plan.
Based on the approval of the piping of the stream as shown on the site plan, the
stream buffers and impervious setback are eliminated south of the headwall.
Staff has confirmed with the State EPD that the buffer radials shown on the
January 28th site plan are eliminated based on the approval of the installation of
the pipe. Therefore, the November 4, 2008 site plan shown on page 3 of this
report reflects the removal of the radials above the headwall.
The City of Milton Board of Zoning Appeals approved the piping of the stream.
City Arborist
Tree #1 – 26” Pine: Tree is in good health. Parking may jeopardize the integrity of
this tree.
Tree #2 – 41” Oak: Declining large oak tree has four to five major branch failures
and some tip dieback. The tree is growing on a slope and Stormwater is
undermining the tree. Life expectancy of this tree is less than 20 years. Tree is
destined for removal due to underground detention and parking.
Trees #3 & #4 – 28” Poplars: Both healthy trees. Will be impacted or removed for
building and/or parking.
Tree #5 – 31” Poplar: Not to be disturbed, to remain.
Tree #6 – 29” Poplar: Tree may be impacted by future road widening or
deceleration lane.
All trees that are removed or impacted shall have recompense. As many
recompense trees as possible shall be planted on site. Any remaining
recompense not planted will either be planted at a location determined by the
Arborist or the cost of remaining trees plus installation cost will be contributed to
the City Tree Fund.

The site plan shows compliance with the future land use designation and there is
minimal impact of the existing 25-foot impervious setback. The surrounding
zonings are C-1(Community Business), C-2 (Community Business) (where a 15-
foot retaining wall abuts the subject site) and O-I (Office-Institutional) with
exception of the AG-1 property to the west. Along this west property line the
stream buffer remains as well as the required 25-foot undisturbed buffer
adjacent to residential/AG-1 (Agricultural) zonings. In Staff’s opinion, the
proposed modification of site plan will have a minimal adverse impact on
adjacent properties. Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of
ZM08-08 to modify condition 2a to modify the site plan for 05Z-029.
CONCURRENT VARIANCES
The applicant requested three concurrent variances in his original submission; 1)
To reduce the side yard setback from 20 feet to 10 feet along the east and west
property lines; 2) To reduce the minimum rear setback from 25 feet to 10 feet
along the south property line; 3) To reduce the 10-foot landscape strip to the
extent possible to allow for a retaining wall within the 10- foot landscape strip.
Pursuant to Article 22.3.1 of the City of Milton Zoning Ordinance, Staff is of the
opinion that the strict application of the side yard setback may be relaxed due
to extraordinary and exceptional conditions pertaining to this property due to its
topography. Such strict application would create an unnecessary hardship for
the owner while causing no detriment for the public. Attached are letters of
support from the adjacent property owners that are affected by the requested
reduction of building setbacks.
The abutting properties are zoned C-1 (Community Business), C-2 (Community
Business) and O-I (Office-Institutional) except for a portion of the western
property line which is buffered by the stream and an additional 25-foot buffer
adjacent to AG-1 (Agricultural). There is also a 15-foot high retaining wall along
the subject site abutting the C-2 parcel (Katy’s Car Wash) along the east
property line where the applicant is seeking the building setback reduction from
20 feet to 10 feet.
Staff recommends that if the Mayor & City Council approves the concurrent
variance to reduce the building setback, the applicant shall provide additional
planting within the 10-foot landscape strip along the south property line and
west property line adjacent to the property zoned C-1 (Community Business).
Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of Parts 1 and 2 of VC08-
07.

SUBJECT SITE
SUBJECT SITE:
The subject site contains 2.26 acres with a single family residence. It is currently
zoned C-2 (Commercial) pursuant to Z00-28 approved for a total of 18,673
square feet or a density of 8,262.39 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?
The proposed retail facility, if developed with Staff’s Recommended
Conditions, is suitable for the subject site given the existing and
anticipated commercial development in the surrounding area.

Planning Commission Meeting on November 25, 2008

R/A Z00-28
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 retail use 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 transportation system is expected
but should be mitigated with compliance to the Recommended
Conditions for project improvements.
E. Whether the proposal is in conformity with the policies and intent of the
land use plan?
The proposed retail use is consistent with the policies and intent of the
Focus Fulton 2025 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The petition is also
consistent with Board Policy and similar uses in the area. A brief
description of the project is noted below.
Focus Fulton 2025 Land Use Plan Map: Retail/Service Commercial
Proposed use/density:
Retail/Commercial – 12,504.42 square feet per acre
The Focus Fulton 2025 Land Use Plan Map suggests Retail/Service
Commercial on the surrounding properties to the east, south and
southwest of the subject site. Further to the north the Plan suggests
Residential 2-3 and further to the south Residential 3-5 units per acre.
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:

The proposed use is not considered environmentally adverse affecting
natural resources, the environment, or the citizens of the City.

SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Based on the applicant’s site plan submitted to the Community Development
Department on October 7, 2008, Staff offers the following considerations:
Hwy 9 Overlay District
BUILDING SETBACKS
In accordance with Article 9.1.3 of the Zoning Ordinance require the following
building setbacks:
Front – 40 feet along North Main Street (SR9)
Sides – 0 Feet
Rear – 0 Feet
The site plan indicates compliance with the setback requirement.
BUILDING HEIGHT
The applicant indicates that the proposed building height will not exceed 15
feet from average grade which is in compliance with the Highway 9 Overlay
District.
LANDSCAPE STRIPS AND BUFFERS
Article 12G.4 Section A1 of the State Route 9 Overlay District requires a twenty
(20) foot-wide buffer. 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.
The east and north property lines adjacent to M-1 (Light Industrial) require a 5-
foot landscape strip.
The western property lines adjacent to C-1 and Commercial in the City of
Alpharetta require a 10-foot landscape strip. The applicant’s site plan shows
compliance with the requirement.
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

Planning Commission Meeting on November 25, 2008
11/20/2008 Page 13 of 17

• Retail Service Commercial
21,060 square feet
Storage/Receiving
7,200 square feet
Total
• 5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of
building area
105 spaces required
1 space per 2,000 sq.ft. of
Building area
5 spaces required
110 spaces required
99 spaces required with
admin. variance
99 spaces provided
Staff notes that the applicant is providing 99 parking spaces, which does not
meet the required 110 parking spaces required per Article 18 of the City of
Milton Zoning Ordinance. The applicant in the Letter of Intent is asking for an
administrative variance to reduce the parking by 10% or 11 parking spaces. The
Community Development Director approves this request and therefore the
number of parking spaces provided meets the requirement for parking on this
site. It also appears that the site plan is in compliance with the landscape and
layout requirements of Article 12G.4. Section F.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Staff notes that there are at least 2 retaining walls on the site which must comply
with Article 12.G.4.C.3 which states, “Retaining walls shall be faced with or
constructed of stone, brick or decorative concrete modular block only. If any
retaining wall equals or exceeds three feet in height, a continuous evergreen
planting shall be required adjacent to it.
In addition, the site plan does not indicate the required bicycle parking area
pursuant to 12.G.4.H.5.
Both the building and the site must comply with Article 12G, State Route 9
Overlay District, at the time of the Certificate of Occupancy.
ARBORIST COMMENTS
Heavily wooded site which appears will have almost all trees removed. With
current plan, may be able to save 2 specimen pine trees. Required tree density
count of 67.5 units will be almost completely eliminated. Density replacements
would be 135 - 4” caliper trees. Recompense plantings may be as much as 122 –
4” caliper trees. With current plan, it is highly unlikely the required trees can be
planted on the site.
Specimen Trees on site:
5 – 24” pines

Planning Commission Meeting on November 25, 2008

PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
On October 29, 2008 the applicant was present at the Community Zoning
Information Meeting held at the Milton City Hall. There were no members of the
community in attendance.
Public Comments – Staff has not received any comments from the community
regarding this development.
City of Milton Design Review Board Meeting – November 5, 2008
The following comment was made by the DRB:
• Site development density is too great.
• Asking for administrative variance for reduction in parking because of the
density shown.
• Proposed development requires extensive retaining walls 10' from property
line and in some cases do not allow for vegetative screening required by
ordinance. Retaining walls must meet Overlay requirements.
• Tree density for tree recompense needs to be substantially supported on
site per Arborist report.
• Sidewalk across front of property, sidewalk to building entrance from
public R/W per ADA requirements.
• Bicycle parking per Ordinance.
Public Notice Requirements
The rezoning petition has met all of the required Public Notice Requirements.
CONCLUSION
The proposed development is consistent with Plan Policies and Board Policy for
the development of C-1 (Community Business) to develop a home fashion retail
center. Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of RZ08-10 with
the following Recommended Conditions.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Brad Chambers, CH2M HILL Parks and Recreation Representative
Date: December 1, 2008, City Council Regular Meeting
Agenda Item:
A Resolution to establish a Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for the City of Milton.
CMO (City Manager’s Office) Recommendation:
To approve the attached resolution which will establish a Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
in Milton.
Background:
In September, 2008 the City Council reviewed the format to establish a volunteer Board for the
Parks and Recreation Department. The original Resolution as written established the Board as a
Commission, or Authority; however, no action was taken at that time.
Discussion:
Upon appointment as the representative and consultant for parks and recreation planning for the
City of Milton, I reviewed the Resolution. I researched the Official Code of Georgia, Annotated
(OCGA) and compared the pros and cons of a Commission/Authority format and those of an
Advisory Board format.
Based on fact that Milton is in its infancy with parks and recreation, and that there is no staff and
few facilities, I felt that it was more prudent at this time for the City to adopt an advisory board
format with the possibility of growing into a Commission form at some point in the future.
The fundamental differences between the two formats are that an Advisory Board does not have
the authority to hire and fire staff, nor do they have the authority to accept land, donations,
money, etc., on behalf of the City Council. The Advisory Board does just as the name states-
they advise the staff on issues pertaining to parks and park management but do not have the
authority to mandate that any particular policy or procedure be implemented.
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board as proposed will be made up of seven (7) citizens
appointed by the City Council. These citizens will advise city staff on issues pertaining to the
development of parks in the City. One of their first duties, upon appointment, will be to assist
the Consulting Firm that will be hired by the City to prepare a comprehensive parks assessment
plan, including meeting with the consultants during the process to give input into the process.

TASK ORDER 09-KHA-02
CITY OF MILTON TRANSPORTATION PLAN
SCOPE OF SERVICES
This TASK ORDER between the parties is entered into pursuant to the above referenced
CONTRACT AGREEMENT (RFQ #08-001), incorporated herein by reference, and shall
serve as authorization by the City of Milton to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.
(referred to herein alternately as “Consultant” and “KHA”) to perform the services
described herein pursuant to the terms and conditions, mutual covenants and promises
provided herein and in the CONTRACT AGREEMENT (RFQ #08-001). Now therefore,
the parties agree as follows:
Description of PROJECT:
This PROJECT is a transportation planning study for the City of Milton. This task order
includes Tasks 1-5 that make up the City of Milton Transportation Plan and Tasks 6-8
that include individual stand alone transportation planning elements. The overall schedule
for this PROJECT is 12-24 months.
Description of Services:
Task 1: Project Management Plan and Implementation: Development of Vision,
Goals, Objectives, and Investment Strategies
This task will provide the City of Milton with a management plan to guide the process
and implementation as well as a vision statement with supporting goals, objectives, and
investment strategies for guiding the work effort.
The project management plan will enable the City of Milton to participate in defining
specific management tools and techniques and will establish roles and responsibilities for
both the consultant and client staff to ensure consistency in understanding management
structure, authorities and responsibilities. Communication protocols will be a key element
of the project management plan. A single point of contact with the City will ensure that
the project manager communicates effectively throughout the life of the project.
Ongoing, routine communication with the City of Milton through face to face, telephone
and electronic communications will be a matter of standard approach. A communication
list noting key staff from the consultant team and the client including names, addresses,
phone numbers and e-mail addresses will be developed and circulated by Kimley-Horn.
Monthly progress will be scheduled with the City of Milton and the Technical Study
Committee (TSC) to coincide with key project deliverables, public outreach activities,
and other project milestones. In addition, the project management plan will identify
mechanisms for monitoring budget and schedule. Monthly progress reports will describe
tasks that are completed, underway, and upcoming as well as identify and flag issues for
further discussion and resolution.
The vision, goals, objectives, and investment strategies will be provided to the City of
Milton within 30 days of the Notice to Proceed and refined through the staff, TSC and
public input. The transportation plan vision, goals and objectives specifics will be built
on the foundation of the City of Milton Comprehensive Plan community vision. A brand
and logo will be developed based on the transportation plan project vision that will
clearly identify to the City of Milton and to the public the relationship of an activity or
deliverable to the City of Milton CTP.
Deliverables: Project Management Plan and Implementation; Plan Vision, Goals,
Objectives and Investment Strategies
Staffing: KHA
Task 2: Stakeholder and Public Involvement Plan and Activities:
This task will begin with the development of the public involvement plan detailing our
approach to public/stakeholder collaboration and input into the development of the City
of Milton Transportation Plan. This document will be provided to the City of Milton
within 30 days of NTP.
The stakeholder and public involvement plan implementation is integral to the success of
the CTP. Transportation planning must take into account a broad, diverse group of user
constituencies – commuters, retirees, young families – as well as different modes –
transit, automobile, pedestrian, bicycling and rather uniquely in the City of Milton,
equestrian. A successful outreach component is particularly underscored in a new city to
bring the community together, create identity and build consensus. Transportation
system-wide planning also should provide service to all geographic areas of the County,
from rural to developed. We have found that to accommodate citizens’ demanding
schedules, we need to come to them – at places like ballparks, PTA meetings, senior
centers, farmers markets, festivals and bike paths – to insure a broad range of input and
consensus building. Innovative communication techniques in these venues are also key to
reaching out effectively. Collateral materials can be developed around venue types to
convey the information in an appealing way. Recognizing these important needs, the
Kimley-Horn team approach to the City of Milton Transportation Plan process will
include a stakeholder involvement plan that welcomes and seeks input from the broad
spectrum of users and interests. In addition, our team will make special efforts to engage
populations that are often underrepresented including seniors, minorities, low income
households, non-English speaking populations, and persons with disabilities. To that end,
the Kimley-Horn team proposes using a multi-faceted approach involving the project
steering committee, general public meetings, and small group meetings. We propose to
utilize a community event such as a fair, Taste of Milton or similar activity to engage the
public in a non-traditional way. The City of Milton City Council appointed Stakeholder
Advisory Committee (SAC) may include existing committees as well as neighborhood
and community groups, bicycle and pedestrian advocacy groups, equestrian groups,
social agencies, business associations, and educational institutions. The SAC will assist
the project team in identifying issues, challenges, and opportunities, preparing materials
for public meetings and workshops, and conveying information about the study to the
larger community. Up to six SAC meetings are planned.
Three public meetings are proposed: a project kickoff, a presentation of the draft Needs
Assessment Report with a hands-on charrette style public meeting, and a presentation of
the draft Recommendations Report. The project kickoff meeting may include a non-
traditional approach, as described earlier, to build excitement for and interest in the plan.
The hands-on charrette will feature exercises to solicit citizen input on roadway, transit,
bicycle, and pedestrian facility improvements. At the final public meeting, the draft Final
Recommendations Report will be presented for comment.
Between the public meetings, the Kimley-Horn team will hold up to four small group
meetings with specific stakeholder groups. These small meetings will be tailored to the
specific interests and concerns of groups such as commuters, older adults and people with
disabilities facilitating more detailed discussion and input gathering. In general the team’s
objectives will be to inform the participants about the CTP process and goals, engage
them in the planning efforts, and ask for their input and ideas. The business community
or educational institutions may be included in these meetings as well. These meetings
will be held at varied locations and times convenient to the specific audience. Getting
individuals involved in the planning process is one of the biggest challenges of any
planning project. Developing a marketing campaign and materials that are interesting,
eye-catching and engaging is paramount. The Kimley-Horn team will draw upon our
extensive experience and graphics capabilities to create strategy and material that not
only educate, but encourage active public involvement. Materials will be prepared in a
format that is cost effective and easy for the County or other stakeholders to distribute
and reproduce. The divide between transportation planning data and public involvement
is often traversed using anecdotal observations to reconcile feedback from public
meetings and findings from hard data on roadway infrastructure, traffic volumes,
demographics and transit services. While anecdotal evidence is helpful, there are better
ways to bridge the gap between traditional public outreach and data collections needs.
We can join these efforts through quantitative survey research. For the City of Milton’s
transportation planning efforts, a scientific survey will bring a firm understanding of
where residential stakeholders stand on key issues. We will work with project leaders at
the outset to figure out what information we will need to collect from the public opinion
surveys and how exactly this will fit into the planning process.
We will develop a new, completely customized survey instrument designed to get this
information from a random sample of 200 residents of Milton. While this may not seem
like many survey respondents, given the city’s population of approximately 20,000
residents--in fewer than 10,000 households--it will produce a margin of sampling error of
±5.5%.
We will use a scientific telephone survey methodology to collect the data, producing a
representative cross section of individuals by geography, demographics, and other
important factors. The Schapiro Group operates its own in-house call center, ensuring the
highest quality local telephone survey data collected by seasoned survey researchers.
Specifically, we see value in using scientific public opinion surveys to address the
following issues. We will develop additional survey objectives in consultation with
project leaders.
How do residents feel about different prospective transportation changes in
Milton?
What types of changes excite stakeholders, and which cause concern?
What values to taxpayers see to different transportation solutions?
What public education strategies will alleviate stakeholder concerns? What
outreach will be necessary?
Which specific communities or geographic areas most strongly support different
aspects of the project, and how can each be engaged adequately?
What strategies will develop stakeholder consensus?
The actual survey questions will be developed with project leaders, and will be specific to
the issues being discussed in the planning process. The survey results will be summarized
in an easy-to-understand report with detailed analysis. Furthermore, consultant team will
present results to the client and will be readily available for strategic counsel.
Conservation Subdivision Design Workshop: Traditionally conducted this workshop in
a 4-9 pm format to maximize the number of people who can attend without missing much
of their regular workdays. This workshop session presents a practical, easy-to-use
technique that enables developers and local officials to work together to accomplish their
different objectives, namely the construction of full-density residential subdivisions
(developers' goal) in such a way that helps to build a community-wide network of
permanent conservation land (officials' goal).
This program is extensively illustrated with numerous financially successful examples of
"conservation subdivision design", together with a straight-forward four-step
methodology of laying out residential developments around the central organizing
principle of open space conservation. Developments of this nature are "twice green"
simultaneously achieving both economic and environmental goals.
Together with the varied examples of conservation subdivisions that have been designed,
proposed, reviewed, approved, financed, built, sold, and lived in, this program describes a
simple four-step design process through which this kind of development can be easily
laid out. In addition to illustrating several case studies in which this four-step process has
been successfully followed, the program describes some additional design enhancements
that improve marketability and bottom-line profitability (through lot premiums and faster
absorption).
Lastly, the program describes how this design process can fit into the local regulatory
framework through specific provisions in comprehensive plans, zoning ordinances, and
subdivision regulations. As each conservation subdivision is completed, another link I the
community-wide network of open lands is expanded, until ultimately an interconnected
network of conservation areas is preserved.
This workshop also contains a segment describing how these principles can be applied to
higher-density infill projects in serviced locations, and in situations involving incremental
growth around the community's outer edges. This part of the program showcases the
design insights provided by the New Urbanist movement, which takes a more formal,
mixed-use approach to creating compact development in areas with utility connections --
complementing conservation design which is typically applied in more outlying areas.
Examples of communities that have preserved hundreds (sometimes thousands) of acres
of open space within a five-year period without spending a dollar of public money will be
cited, all involving situations where developers have achieved their full density objectives
at a lower production cost, and where the original equity of landowners has not been
disturbed. For instance, the planning approach advocated in Growing Greener has
conserved more than 500 acres of prime farmland in a single township (Lower Makefield,
Bucks, County, PA) in just five years, and that figure continuers to rise as new
conservation subdivisions are propose and approve. At an average land value of $7,000
per acre, this represents approximately $3.5 million worth of conservation, achieved
without spending public funds, without controversial down-zoning, and without
complicated density transfers (TDRs). A similar per-acre saving has also occurred in
Hamburg Township, Livingston County, Michigan, where approximately 2,000 acres of
land have been protected through conservation subdivision design over the last ten years.
And 2,500 acres have also been saved through this same technique in Calvert County,
Maryland during the first two years of the new land-use techniques. The combined value
of those lands is in the neighborhood of $40 million, which makes this technique
probably one of the most cost-effective planning tools available to growing communities
on the metro edge.
This multi-tier approach will allow access to the process from the broad cross-section of
interests and stakeholders. All efforts will be documented and presented to the County in
the form of meeting minutes and progress reports and will be included in the final report.
Deliverables: Stakeholder and Public Involvement Plan; Public Opinion Poll/Survey
(development, application and outcome documentation); Community Event (may serve
as one of the public meetings), SAC meetings (up to 6), Public Meetings (3),
Stakeholder/Focus Group Meetings (up to 4) Rural by Design Conservation
Subdivision Design Workshop
Staffing: KHA, Sycamore Consulting, The Schapiro Group, Randall Arendt
Task 3: Inventory of Existing Conditions
The Kimley-Horn team will review studies and plans, organize and collect demographic,
land use and transportation data, develop GIS mapping displaying this information,
perform travel demand model forecasting and report existing conditions. To the
maximum extent possible, we will ensure that existing data sets and sources are utilized
to maximize efficiency and avoid duplication of effort with a particular emphasis on the
City of Milton’s Comprehensive Plan. We will ensure this data and analysis addresses the
interaction of traffic and growth from surrounding areas. Our approach offers a market-
economic development component that will combine the demographic characteristics
with a specific focus on population, employment and housing resources that assess
leveraging the strengths and identifying weaknesses of existing and future development
and focusing on community preservation. This will ensure that the City of Milton’s
Transportation Plan will support local and general market dynamics and desired
development.
Deliverables: Inventory of Existing Conditions Report (draft and final)
Staffing: KHA, Bleakly Advisory Group, Cooper Consulting
Task 4: Assessment of Current and Future Needs
The Atlanta Regional Commission travel demand model and population and employment
forecast will be the primary tools for this analysis. The City of Milton’s own population
and employment forecasts, as available and particularly based upon the City of Milton’s
Comprehensive Plan, will be compared to the traffic analysis zones (TAZ) that comprise
the City of Milton. Modifications to TAZs, as needed, to perform analysis at the
municipal level is included. If these differ significantly, an additional scenario can be
provided to serve as an illustrative tool for the City. In addition, the identification of
needs and coordination across governmental boundaries will be addressed. Current and
future development expectations will be evaluated and the unique potential of the City of
Milton considered. Specific consideration of needs that will improve the safety of the
transportation system will be made.
Model Review and Refinement
This task includes review of the existing regional model data for the City of Milton.
Under this task, the transportation and socioeconomic inputs to regional model will be
reviewed for accuracy and appropriate scale in coordination with Milton staff and ARC
modeling staff. Comments and issues identified during this task will be used as an input
to the subsequent tasks for the refinement of the regional model.
As part of this task, KHA will complete the following subtasks:
• Review Regional Model Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) Structure
• Review Network Structure and Attributes
• Review Existing Model Count Coverage and Accuracy
• Review Model Housing and Employment Data
• Review Future Year Model Project Assumptions in ARC Model
• Review Regional Model in platform suitable for city-level traffic analysis
• Reviews of above items with ARC modeling staff
Needs Assessment
This task will include deficiency analysis of the revised 2030 model for the City of
Milton study area, along with the analysis of the updated comprehensive plan.
Transportation improvements developed under the comprehensive plan, along with land
use alternatives (baseline and alternative) will be modeled as part of this task. Up to six
(6) land use alternative/CTP combinations will be modeled as part of this task. This
could include modeling four different land use alternatives and one network, or modeling
two different land use alternatives with two alternative networks, or any other potential
combinations.
Results will be communicated in terms of Level-of-Service/Congestion maps, along with
a summary report for measures-of-effectiveness. Level-of-Service will be evaluated
based model relationships developed using the Highway Capacity Manual.
At the completion of the task, a technical memo will be prepared discussing the
comprehensive plan model analysis.
As part of this task, KHA will complete the following subtasks:
• Perform Deficiency Analysis for 2030 Current Comprehensive Transportation
Plan Network
• Prepare Draft/Final Needs Assessment Report
• Run Model with up to six (6) 2030 Land Use Data/updated CTP combinations
• Prepare Level-of-Service/Congestion maps
• Prepare Summary Reports for Measures-of-Effectiveness (VHT, VMT, Delay,
etc.)
• Prepare Technical Memorandum - "Milton Comprehensive Transportation
Plan Model Analysis"
Deliverables: Needs Assessment Report (draft and final); Model Analysis Report
Staffing: KHA, JFS Consulting, Bleakly Advisory Group
Task 5: Recommendations
The focus of all the efforts in the previous task culminates in this most important task –
recommendations. It is critical that the innovative and creative recommendations be
practical, achievable and realistic for the City of Milton’s investment in the plan to offer a
real return. Therefore, the implementation strategies are critical. This task will resulting
the development of multimodal recommendations and a program of projects supporting
the City’s vision, stakeholder and public supported input, need and purpose, and cost
considerations. Our initial step in developing recommendations will be determining
project recommendations that build on the needs assessment. A key element of this phase
will be integrating our market analysis in a comprehensive in a comprehensive, easy-to-
understand overview that ties the City of Milton economic factors to specific areas of
transportation need throughout the area.
Following this determination, we will structure scenario forecasting by comparing
probable futures based on current trends with a desired future based on the City’s vision
of what leadership and the community would prefer. Each scenario will include land use,
demographics, and transportation. The description of the scenarios will be a combination
of land use and transportation system maps, city level zonal forecasts, databases, project
lists, and a narrative summarizing the intent of each scenario and the overall guiding
principles. A 2010 base year (based on 2005), 2030 no build, two 2030 build scenarios
based on the ARC growth projections and one 2030 build scenario based on the City’s
growth projections, if applicable, will be completed. For the build scenarios, we will load
land use, socioeconomic data, and transportation networks into the travel demand model,
then run the forecasts to develop outputs for standard performance measures as suitable
to ARC processes. Once the analysis is complete, we will prepare a summary document
comparing the results of the project evaluations against each other and the Envision 6
RTP. The report will summarize the performance measures and the steps taken to
accommodate projected travel demand with various transportation or land use
adjustments. The report will also include a list and description of the best performing
transportation projects and land use strategies, the relative cost effectiveness of the two
scenarios, and the advantages and disadvantages. This task will incorporate public and
stakeholder input into development and evaluation of future scenarios that lead to
transportation and land use recommendations for the City of Milton. We will offer
transportation demand management strategies keyed to the appropriate recommendations.
For the final recommended set of projects in the plan, we will identify implementation
strategies including funding (including impact fees) and a constructability review of key
projects to position the program for achievement.
Deliverable: Final Comprehensive Transportation Plan Report
Staffing: KHA, Cooper Consulting, Duncan Associates, JFS Consulting
Task 6: Access Management
Access management plan policy and implementation strategies include the systematic
control of the location, spacing, design and operation of driveways, median openings,
interchanges, and street connections to a roadway, as well as auxiliary lane treatments
and traffic signal spacing. It is important that policy is defined prior to establishing
implementation strategies and permitting procedures; this way, the City of Milton will be
able to purposefully guide vehicular access and land development in a manner that
enhances safety and preserves the efficiency of the transportation system. Access
management also offers a real tool for managing congestion in heavily traveled and
developed corridors. Strategies such as raised medians, acquisition of access rights,
improved signal locations or spacing, the addition of auxiliary lanes, driveway
consolidation or removal, service roads, parallel facility improvements, and other
strategies may be considered, as appropriate.
The portion of State Route 9 from Bethany to Forsyth County, will serve as pilot for the
retrofit of a mature corridor through the development of a corridor specific access
management plan. For this segment of the corridor, a parcel level examination of existing
conditions, current and future needs, and recommendations including coordination with
residents, businesses and institutions will be completed. The intent is to develop concepts
that will improve the operational efficiency of the roadway and improve safety without
adding lane capacity. Strategies may address:
• Minimum distance between driveways along the primary roadway
• Maximum number of driveways per lot
• Internal mobility requirements – interparcel access between adjacent uses to limit
the need to enter the primary roadway for short trips
• Appropriate site distance for vehicles looking to enter the primary roadway
(where above and beyond GDOT requirements on State Routes)
• Specifications for driveway characteristics
• Appropriate spacing and location of median breaks, if applicable, in accordance
with GDOT regulations
• Need/feasibility of parallel access roads to limit short trips on the primary through
roadway
• Consideration of the impact on adjacent routes resulting from any proposed
changes to the primary corridor
• Consideration of the needs of pedestrians and bicyclists
For State Routes, coordination with GDOT’s access management permitting procedures
will be incorporated. In addition, model ordinance provisions that could be adapted to
local government application and carried out in conjunction with the local comprehensive
plan and/or through modification to the City of Milton Right of Way Manual and
Community Services Plan will be researched and provided to the City of Milton. Other
modifications may also be suggested for the manual and the Community Services Plan.

Task 7: Milton Pavement Management Plan
In 2007 the City of Milton, Georgia undertook an extensive pavement management study
of approximately 170 miles of city-owned paved roadways. This study was conducted by
Infrastructure Management Services (IMS). The overall objective of the development of
the pavement management system for the City of Milton was to provide the necessary
data in order to assist the City in developing long term maintenance and rehabilitation
programs and anticipated budget needs. The City of Milton has asked Kimley-Horn and
Associates (KHA) to review the results of their pavement management system in an
effort to update the customization information, including unit costs for maintenance and
rehabilitation activities, in order to develop more realistic budget needs. Additionally,
the City has asked KHA to provide specific guidance regarding maintenance and
rehabilitation recommendations. Further, KHA has been asked to evaluate whether, at
current funding levels, the City is falling behind their internal goal of maintaining their
pavement inventory at a high level thus creating a high level of backlog. KHA has
identified the following sub-tasks in order to achieve these goals:
• Sub-Task 1: Review of Existing Pavement Management System
• Sub-Task 2: Field Verification of Distress Data and Pavement Condition
Indices
• Sub-Task 3: Review and Update of Internal Customization Data
• Sub-Task 4: Development of Specific Maintenance and Rehabilitation
Recommendations
• Sub-Task 5: Review of Anticipated Backlog at Current Funding Levels
• Sub-Task 6: Summary Report
Sub-Task 1: Review of Existing Pavement Management System
In an effort to become familiar with the pavement management system previously
developed for the City of Milton, KHA will conduct a thorough review of the existing
system. KHA will conduct interviews with City personnel in order to gain knowledge of
the specific goals of the City when undertaking the pavement management study to
assure that those goals are achieved. KHA will conduct of review of the GBA Master
Series application that was used for the analysis tasks to ensure that it was applied
correctly in the development of the initial maintenance and rehabilitation
recommendations.
Sub-Task 2: Field Verification of Distress Data and Pavement Condition Indices
Initially the visual distress data activities were conducted via automated technology using
a Road Surface Tester to obtain continuous surface condition, rutting, and roughness
data. The digital images and data collected from the Road Surface Tester were then
interpreted and used to develop a pavement condition score using various weighting
factors as outlined in the GDOT procedure.
In order for KHA to adequately analyze the overall results of the pavement management
system as desired by the City it is imperative that KHA is confident with the single most
important input into the pavement management system, the pavement condition score.
After becoming familiar with the development of the GDOT pavement condition scoring
system used by the City of Milton KHA will conduct field verification activities of the
existing data to assure that the pavement scores being assessed are accurate. KHA will
conduct a window verification of all the paved roadways maintained by the City and will
identify a random percentage of the pavement area in which KHA will physically
measure existing pavement distresses and compare those results with the results obtained
using the automated data collection.
Assuming that the field data verification tasks results in positively verifying that the
existing pavement condition scores are adequate, KHA will proceed in reviewing the
system’s customization information used to develop the recommended maintenance and
rehabilitation program. Although not anticipated, if in the event that the field verification
task results in a significant amount of discrepancies from the existing pavement condition
scores, additional scope items may need to be defined.
Sub-Task 3: Review and Update of Internal Customization Information
Having valid customization data including unit costs for maintenance and rehabilitation
activities and prioritization guidelines is necessary in order to develop appropriate costs
and timing for a maintenance and rehabilitation program. KHA will review the specific
maintenance and rehabilitation units costs used in developing annual rehabilitation
program for the City of Milton. Given the recent volatility in market conditions and
construction costs it is imperative that actual costs for the City of Milton be applied in the
development of budget requirements. Additionally, although difficult to quantify, KHA
will review recent increases in such costs and attempt to develop an adequate inflation
percentage to account for change in market conditions over the plan years. KHA will
review local costs by conducting interviews with industry leaders and conducting a
thorough review of recent bid tabulations for similar construction activities and develop
unit costs (per unit) for each recommended maintenance or rehabilitation activity.
Not knowing the specific format of the pavement management system data it may be
necessary for KHA to update these costs and prioritization guidelines outside of the
existing pavement management system but KHA will work in the exiting environment
assuming that all data and analysis programs will be available for use. KHA assumes that
they will not have to redevelop the existing database and that the necessary analysis will
be available for their use in this task.
Sub-Task 4: Development of Specific Maintenance and Rehabilitation Recommendations
The maintenance and rehabilitation options provided in pavement management system
developed in 2007 are general in nature and do not recommend specific
recommendations. For example, a rehabilitation option of “surface treatment” is referred
to in the existing annual rehabilitation program. This particular rehabilitation
recommendation provides very little guidance to the City of Milton regarding the specific
surface treatment type that is recommended not to mention the costs associated with the
specific maintenance or rehabilitation activity. It is anticipated that GDOT and the City
of Milton oftentimes use different types of treatments based on factors such as traffic,
ownership, etc.
KHA will develop specific recommendations for those pavement sections recommended
for rehabilitation within the existing rehabilitation program for the year 2009 based on
discussions with City personnel regarding local maintenance and rehabilitation practices.
Additionally, KHA will review specifications of various treatments types and provide
guidance to the City of Milton regarding the use of the various treatment types and
available contractors/vendors.
Once specific maintenance and rehabilitation activities are determined, KHA will be able
to apply the appropriate unit costs and develop more realistic budget needs.
Sub-Task 5: Review of Anticipated Backlog at Current Funding Levels
According to City personnel, the City has a budget of approximately $2.1 million dollars
for paved roadway rehabilitation projects in 2009 and similar budgets are expected in
future years. The City has identified that it would like KHA to review this anticipated
budget level and analyze if they will be falling behind on roadway rehabilitation projects
in future years thus resulting in a large pavement rehabilitation backlog in future years.
Once specific maintenance and rehabilitation recommendations and their associated costs
are developed/updated as defined in Tasks 3 and 4, KHA will compare the anticipated
yearly costs based on prioritization guidelines developed during customization activities
and compare those costs to anticipated budget levels. This activity will identify the
budget shortfalls, if any, anticipated based on an annual budget expectation of $2.1
million dollars. If in fact there is an anticipated backlog at the current funding level for
the City of Milton, KHA will analyze what funding level is necessary to maintain the
roadway pavements at an acceptable level and develop a maintenance and rehabilitation
plan accordingly.
Similar to previous tasks defined, it is anticipated that KHA will have access to the
existing pavement management data and analysis software in order to adequately
complete this task. In the event that the data or software is not available, it is anticipated
that KHA will conduct a similar analysis external to the pavement management software
originally utilized in order to provide a more realistic maintenance and rehabilitation
program for the City of Milton.
Sub-Task 6: Summary Report
KHA will provide both draft and final reports for the City of Milton summarizing the
findings and updated recommendations of the tasks outlined in Sub-Tasks 1 though 6
above.
Deliverables: Draft and Final Reports
Staffing: KHA
