In addition, the applicant shall not submit material to the Council during the meeting, unless requested to
law do so. All material that you wish to be reviewed by the Council in consideration of your application
should be submitted to the staff of the Department of Community Development, to be included in the
normal distribution of packages to the Council.
When an opponent of a rezoning action has made, within two years immediately preceding the filing of
the rezoning action being opposed, campaign contributions aggregating $250.00 or more to a local
government official of the local government which will consider the application, it shall be the duty of
the opponent to file a disclosure with the governing authority of the respective local government at least
five days prior to the Planning Commission meeting. A violation of the relevant state statute constitutes
a misdemeanor. Therefore, if you have contributed $250.00 or more to a Councilmember and you have
not filed a disclosure prior to the Planning Commission meeting, the City Attorney strongly suggests
that you have someone else speak for your point of view.
ZM09-04NC09-04, Northeast corner of Hwy 9 and Bethany Bend by Dr. David Smith, A request to

Development Department on November 3, 2009. The applicant is also requesting and concurrent
variance to delete the 10 -foot landscape strip along the newiy formed north property line to allow the
required parking aisle width (Article 12G.4.A.2).
Tom Wilson, Interim Community Development Director:
to" Good evening Mayor and Council. Since the time we accepted this application and advertised for this
public hearing, I received the following letter from David and Melissa Smith: The letter is to the Mayor
and City Council and it reads: Bethany Bend urgent care no longer wants to pursue this property and
does not need the zoning modifications as stated previously. Please excuse and delete this request
previously submitted. Based on this letter the need is no longer there for modification so I recommend
withdrawal of this application tonight.
Mayor Lockwood:
Does anyone have any questions for Mr. Wilson?
Councilmember Zahner Bailey:
I have a point of clarification. The letter from the applicant and not the owner, is that correct?
Tom Wilson:
It is from the applicant.
Councilmember Zahner Bailey:
Ok, so would it be staff's impression that this same applicant will not be coming back before this body
based on your conversation?
Tom Wilson:
That is certainly my impression.
Mayor Lockwood:
Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council

I would like to ask staff also, did they share any details? Does this have any reflection on the City of
Milton or just a change in their plans?
Tom Wilson:
Just a change in their plans, I believe.
Mayor Lockwood:
If there are no more questions of staff, is there any public comment on this?
City Manager Lagerbloom:
I do have a public comment card from Phil and Sharon Joseph. I do not know if we were able to answer
their questions before.
Tom Wilson:
They are actually in that room talking with Robyn right now talking about, they are adjacent property
owners, shall I go get them and ask them if they want to speak?
City Manager Lagerbloom:
Yes, just ask them if they want to speak. Their item was relevant but I believe it was something we
could handle at a staff level so we are trying to do that but this item being a request for withdrawal, let
MWA me make sure they do not want to speak.
Now Phil Joseph, 13800 Oakmeade Trace, Milton, Georgia 30004:
I was talking with some of your staff in the other room. We are the adjacent property owners to the land
on the corner of Route 9 and Bethany and the reason I am here is because the people who developed the
property, when we moved in 15 years ago it was all completely undeveloped of course and when they
developed it the last time they cut down the trees, put in a retaining wall, put a lot more dirt in and then
did the development and we had an agreement with the developer to put a row of Leland cypress in
along that wall and fence on our side of the property and that has not been done. They also agreed to,
when they put the sidewalk in, it disrupted the entrance to our subdivision and we knew it was going to
do that so they said they would fix that up when they got done but they have not done that either. Those
are two things they said they would do that they have not done and in addition to those two things, when
they were under construction, a lot of rainwater brought mud down on our property, got into our kids
play set and sound box and had a big mess. We took a lot of pictures and showed the people who were
working there at the time and they said they could fix that up but that has not been done and now when it
rains hard a lot of water comes through the wall onto our property, which I am sure was unanticipated
but that also is not satisfactory so for all those things we do not know what recourse we have as adjacent
property owners. We did not have any particular objection to what their plan was with the property but
we would like to have our land not be as impacted as it is so that is why we are here tonight. Apparently
this thing has been withdrawn and we were in the other room talking to the staff member about what the
conditions were of the zoning, so that is where we are. We are the adjacent property owners and we
would like these things resolved and I am not sure the best way to do that.
Mayor Lockwood:
Thank you for your time and I would like to ask, and again public comment is not a time for discussion
back and forth but I would like to ask our staff to follow up on this and meet with the Josephs and also
Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council
Monday, December 21, 2009, 6:00 PM
Page 8 of 15
get us an update on that and thank you very much for bringing it to our attention. Do we have any more
public comment?
City Manager Lagerbloom:
That is all the cards I have.
Mayor Lockwood:
I will close the public hearing. Do I have any Council discussion? Do I have a motion and a second?
Motion and Vote: Councilmember Tart moved to approve the withdrawal of Agenda Item 09-990.
Councilmember Hewitt seconded the motion. There was no Council discussion. The motion passed
unanimously 7-0.

education.

• We are short two items in meeting those criteria and they both deal with the protection of city
owned trees.
• By installing two additional paragraphs in the existing Ordinance, the city will meet the totality
of those requirements.
• Those two conditions are, all trees growing on public property, parks, grounds and rights -of -
ways are protected and any person or entity causing damage or removal is subject to penalties set
forth in section 9.
mom • He recommended approval of the two changes.

to where we are.
Michele McIntosh -Ross, Community Development
• All governments had to complete a comprehensive plan per the state.
•m" • In 2007 Milton initiated the planning process in accordance with the state guidelines.
• The state requires three components.

community agenda.

Page 10 of 15
• There are two components that need to be adopted by the state prior to the initiation of the
NA" community agenda which are components one and two.
• Those components were completed and submitted to the state in the spring of 2008 and approved
by the state in May 2008.
• While working on the community agenda it was realized that the deadline for submittal was
earlier than anticipated.
• The DCA offered that Milton could submit a partial plan update.
• In December of 2008 Milton submitted the partial plan update and approved by the state in
February 2009.
• The plan has to be adopted by February of 2010 and if not the City risks losing its local qualified
government status.
Councilmember Zahner Bailey
• Within the partial plan update, she asked if the table that represents the densities was part of the
document.
Michele McIntosh Ross
• It is not.
Councilmember Zahner Bailey
• As it relates to Arnold Mill, because in Focus Milton 20-25, Arnold Mill is referred to as a
neighborhood activity node and in the documentation she received and reviewed it did not
reference the neighborhood activity node and going forward that may or may not be modified.
• She does not think they were prepared to see that node automatically broadened.
• The public was concerned about how Arnold Mill might evolve so specifically with regards to
that reference, she asked how they reconcile that because that is an area where there could
conceivably be a rezoning to come forward.
George Ragsdale, Chairman Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee
• The disc Councilmember Zahner Bailey was looking at was the assessment and that is not part of
the partial plan.
• The assessment is something they will revisit and update.
• The Arnold Mill question is not referenced in the partial plan document.

Om table that references density specific information Crabapple and that the future land use map are
consistent with the Focus Fulton 2025 and that has not changed at all.

was timing differences, with information from ECOS and information identified by Council and
Staff that is inconsistent and they should not be construed as support of those inconsistencies and
they would be corrected.
