IPA Gow,n�i Good Evening Milton Council Member ­ D - a 'gyp �je f ¢A1) in I I ham. T"fGa-p-P. 1, Heidi Sowder, 525 Sunflower Ct. Milton, am unable to attend this evening's meeting and appreciate my comments being read aloud, for the record, during the proceedings. I have been a resident of the Highway 9 Overlay area for over 11 years. Needless to say, I have witnessed MUCH growth. My family and I have benefited from the conveniences that have come with this growth. We leave our car at home more and travel on foot, or by bike to nearby stores and eateries. Tonight's item regarding 100 buffer for gas stations makes good planning sense for our city. Milton currently has 4 gas stations within its borders. All are located in commercial areas and not adjacent to residential. Additionally, there are 5 gas stations just outside Milton's borders along Arnold Mill and Hwy. 9. So, this "industry" is well represented here in our corner of Northwest Fulton. I have always been a proponent of responsible development here in Milton. It is important that Milton's businesses thrive and its residents are safe. When it comes to the matter at hand, i hope that Mayor and Council consider that yZ of Milton's residents live in the 4 square mile area of the Hwy. 9 commercial corridor. These commercial properties along Hwy. 9 abut hundreds of residential properties. I hope that Council wit rotect residents from the dangers of hazardous materials texplasions - Nashville March 2010 and poTsible pollution and run-off) as other municipalities have chosen to do. A vote to adopt this buffer amendment will not eliminate the opportunity for gas stations and convenience stores to locate here in Milton. It merely places them in commercial locations that are not adjacent to citizens' homes. Therefore, I support the following recommendation by Staff and the Planning Commission, and urge Council to adopt it in its entirety: All properties developed with service stations or convenience stores must be located a minimum of 100 feet from any AG -1 (Agricultural) district, residential district, or any zoning district developed with a residential use. Measurement shall be from property line to property line.
