Any substitutes shall be persons of comparable or superior expertise and experience. Failure to comply with the provisions of this section shall constitute a material breach of Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement and shall be grounds for termination. Contractor shall not subcontract with any third party for the performance of any portion of the Work without the prior written consent of 13 the City. Contractor shall be solely responsible for any such subcontractors in terms of performance and compensation. S. Authority to Contract The Contractor covenants and declares that it has obtained all necessary approvals of its board of directors, stockholders, general partners, limited partners or similar authorities to simultaneously execute and bind Contractor to the terms of this Agreement, if applicable.

Title ___________________________ ________________________ (SEAL) My Commission Expires _______________ Date END OF AGREEMENT City of Milton 13000 Deerfield Parkway, Milton, Georgia 30004 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members From: Chief Deborah Harrell Date: Submitted on April 13, 2011 for the April 25, 2011 Regular Council Meeting Agenda Item: Approval of a contract between The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (C.A.L.E.A.) and the City of Milton City Manager’s Office Recommendation Approve the attached contract with C.A.L.E.A. Discussion The Milton Police Department is one of only five agencies internationally selected to receive a C.A.L.E.A. Agency Support Fund grant for 2011. As a result, the Commission will waive the agency’s initial administrative fees of $10,400 on the condition the Milton Police Department completes self-assessment and has a successful on-site assessment within three years of execution of the attached contract. In order to accept this award, the agency must sign the contract prior to the end of calendar year 2011. I see no reason to delay signing the contract once approval has been obtained. In 2009 the agency demonstrated its dedication to professionalism by being awarded Law Enforcement Certification through the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police. State Certification was a “first step” in the journey towards achieving international accreditation. Accreditation through C.A.L.E.A. is seen as one of the top honors for a law enforcement agency and the awarding of the grant even further shows the Commission’s belief in the success of the agency. Funding and Fiscal Impact The agency will be required to submit $2,750, which is half the estimated on-site assessment costs, with the signed contract. We will have to submit another $2,750 when we request our on- site. This amount will be budgeted in the 2012 FY budget. Each subsequent anniversary of being awarded accreditation, the agency will be required to submit $3,915 to cover administrative fees and an agency on-site assessment every three years. In addition, the agency will request additional funds for training related to this project.

TIME AND MANNER OF PAYMENT: 6.1 In recognition of the Agency's selection as a Commission grantee, the Commission agrees to waive the Agency's initial accreditation fee so long as the Agency agrees to remit one half of the estimated on-site assessment charge of $5,500 within 30 days of the execution date of this contract. This payment will be applied to the initial on-site assessment, if the Agency completes self-assessment and have a successful on-site assessment by the 36th month of the execution of this contract. If the Agency does not complete self-assessment by the 36th month, the Commission may, at its discretion, upon request by the Agency, extend this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.4. If. the Agency withdraws from the accreditation process, the one half estimated on-site assessment charge of $2,750 will be deemed as the contract termination fee and not refunded to the Agency. 2 6.2 If the Agency, within eight weeks of executing this contract, is determined ineligible to participate in the accreditation -program, the Agency may withdraw from the process without penalty and the estimated on-site assessment charge will be refunded. 6.3 When the Agency notifies the Commission that it is ready for an on-site assessment, the Commission will bill the Agency the second half of the estimated on-site assessment charge. Payment will be required prior to the onsite assessment. If the projected on-site costs exceed the actual on-site costs, the Commission will return the excess amount to the Agency. 6.4 If the Agency requires more than 36 months to complete a successful on-site assessment, the Agency agrees to pay a nonrefundable annual fee amounting to 35% of the fee in effect on the effective date of this Accreditation Agreement. This annual fee shall be due and payable 36 months after the effective date of this Agreement, and every 12 months thereafter, until a successful on-site assessment has been achieved or this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Section 4 supra. The Commission reserves the right to terminate this Agreement if the annual fee payment is delinquent by more than sixty days. 6.5 If the Agency's initial on-site assessment is not successful (i.e., work after the initial on-site assessment is required to achieve compliance with applicable standards), the Agency shall prepay estimated costs plus a 20% administrative fee (based on estimated costs) for a subsequent on-site assessment and/or additional staff/assessor assistance required on or off site. The additional work required (on and/or off site) must be completed within six months. If the projected costs exceed the actual costs, the Commission will promptly return the excess amount to the Agency. 6.6 One month after the initial accreditation award, the agency will be billed the Annual Continuation Fee.

CITY OF MILTON, GEORGIA Annual Audit Agenda September 30, 2010 Mauldin & Jenkins CPA’s, LLC Page 3 REVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, FOOTNOTES & SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Statement of Net Assets This statement attempts to provide a reader of the financial statements with a full accrual perspective of the City, as a whole. The City’s governmental activities net assets position increased from $49,044,889 to $52,153,661. This change is reconciled on the City’s “Statement of Activities.” In reference to the City’s net assets, it is important to note that $36,498,474 of total net assets is invested in capital assets, net of related debt.

CITY OF MILTON, GEORGIA Annual Audit Agenda September 30, 2010 Mauldin & Jenkins CPA’s, LLC Page 6 COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT The City has elected to provide the highest level of financial reporting allowed by governmental reporting standards relative to the annual financial reports produced and distributed. The City prepares a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) which has an introductory section and a statistical section surrounding the annual financial report. The City has elected to continue preparing a CAFR for the year ended September 30, 2010. Therefore, the City presents the following information by major section: Introductory Section (Transmittal Letter, Organizational Chart and Listing) Independent Auditor’s Report Management’s Discussion and Analysis Basic Financial Statements and Footnotes Required Supplementary Information Statistical Section Compliance Section It should be noted that the City is one (1) of the few cities in the State of Georgia to obtain the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. Most cities do not attempt to report at such a high level. COMPLIANCE REPORT We have also issued a report that is based on our tests of the City’s internal controls and compliance with laws, regulations, etc. The report is not intended to provide an opinion, but to provide a form of negative assurance as to the City’s internal controls and compliance with applicable rules and regulations. This report and the procedures performed are required by Government Auditing Standards as issued by the U. S. Government Accountability Office (GAO). REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS The Auditor’s Responsibility Under Auditing Standards Generally Accepted in the United States of America Our audit of the financial statements of the City for the period ended September 30, 2010, was conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether caused by error, fraudulent financial reporting or misappropriation of assets. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by CITY OF MILTON, GEORGIA Annual Audit Agenda September 30, 2010 Mauldin & Jenkins CPA’s, LLC Page 7 management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Accordingly, the audit was designed to obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about the financial statements. We believe our audit accomplishes that objective. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also performed tests of controls and compliance with laws and regulations that contribute to the evidence supporting our opinion on the financial statements. However, they do not provide a basis for opining on the City’s internal control or compliance with laws and regulations. Accounting Policies Management has the ultimate responsibility for the appropriateness of the accounting policies used by the City. There were no significant new accounting policies or standards implemented this period. There are new accounting standards which will be required to be implemented in the coming years. These are discussed later in this document. In considering the qualitative aspects of the City’s accounting policies, we did not identify any significant or unusual transactions or significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. The City’s policies relative to the timing of recording of transactions are consistent with GAAP and typical government organizations. Management Judgments and Accounting Estimates Accounting estimates are an integral part of the preparation of financial statements and are based upon management’s current judgment. The process used by management encompasses their knowledge and experience about past and current events and certain assumptions about future events. Management has informed us they used all the relevant facts available to them at the time to make the best judgments about accounting estimates and we considered this information in the scope of our audit. We considered this information and the qualitative aspects of management’s calculations in evaluating the City’s significant accounting estimates. Estimates significant to the financial statements include such items as the estimated historical value of donated infrastructure and other capital assets, the estimated lives of capital assets, and the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts receivables. Financial Statement Disclosures The footnote disclosures to the financial statements are also an integral part of the financial statements. The process used by management to accumulate the information included in the disclosures was the same process used in accumulating the financial statements and the accounting policies described above are included in those disclosures. The overall neutrality, consistency, and clarity of the disclosures was considered as part our audit and in forming our opinion on the financial statements. CITY OF MILTON, GEORGIA Annual Audit Agenda September 30, 2010 Mauldin & Jenkins CPA’s, LLC Page 8 Significant Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit We encountered no difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance of the audit. Audit Adjustments During our audit of the City’s basic financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2010, we recorded a number of audit adjustments. These adjustments have been delivered to and discussed with management. Additionally, we have provided these adjustments as an attachment to this document for your review and discussion. Uncorrected Misstatements We had no uncorrected audit adjustments. Disagreements with Management We encountered no disagreements with management over the application of significant accounting principles, the basis for management’s judgments on significant matters, the scope of the audit or significant disclosures to be included in the financial statements. Representation from Management We requested written representations from management relating to the accuracy of information included in the financial statements and the completeness and accuracy of various information requested by us, during the audit. Management provided those written representations without a problem. Management’s Consultations with Other Accountants We are not aware of any consultations management had with other accountants about accounting or auditing matters. Significant Issues Discussed with Management There were no significant issues discussed with management related to business conditions, plans, or strategies that may have affected the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements. We are not aware of any consultations management had with us or other accountants about accounting or auditing matters. No major issues were discussed with management prior to our retention to perform the aforementioned audit. CITY OF MILTON, GEORGIA Annual Audit Agenda September 30, 2010 Mauldin & Jenkins CPA’s, LLC Page 9 Other Information in Documents Containing Audited Financial Statements We are not aware of any other documents that contain the audited basic financial statements. If such documents were to be published, we would have a responsibility to determine that such financial information was not materially inconsistent with the audited statements of the City. Independence We are independent of the City, and all related organizations, in accordance with auditing standards promulgated by the American Institute of Public Accountants and Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. CITY OF MILTON, GEORGIA Annual Audit Agenda September 30, 2010 Mauldin & Jenkins CPA’s, LLC Page 10 ACCOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS AND RELATED MATTERS Recommendations for Improvement During our audit of the financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2010, we noted areas within the accounting and internal control systems that we believe can be improved. We noted certain items as significant deficiencies in our supplemental reports on internal controls and compliance. Additionally, we noted certain items management should consider as part of its decision making process. Our recommendations (also commonly referred to as management points) are presented in the following paragraphs. We believe consideration of these recommendations will help provide proper control over financial activities, and add effectiveness and efficiency to overall operations. Significant Deficiency (Material Weakness) As noted in our supplemental reports on internal controls and compliance, we reported the following significant deficiency that was also considered a material weakness: 1) Internal controls were not sufficient to detect a misstatement in the reporting of the City’s financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2009. During our audit for the year ended September 30, 2010, a material misstatement was identified by management that caused the need to restate opening fund balance (equity) for the year ended September 30, 2010. The nature and magnitude of this correction for the prior period error is as follows: The General fund required an adjustment of $258,165 to properly recognize revenue for the HTRG Credit earned and available during the year ended September 30, 2009 but improperly deferred at year-end. An audit adjustment of $258,165 was needed to correctly report the opening fund balance for the General Fund. We recommend the City carefully review the financial statements and the applicable reporting requirements under generally accepted accounting principles to ensure that all information and financial data is being properly reported. 2) Internal controls were not sufficient to detect a misstatement in the reporting of the City’s revenue and related receivables. During our testing, an audit adjustment of approximately $832,500 was required to accrue the Insurance Premium Tax receivable and related revenue for the year ended September 30, 2010. We recommend the City carefully review all revenues, receivables, and deferred revenues to ensure they are reported in the proper reporting period, properly valued, and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 3) Internal controls were not sufficient to detect a misstatement in the reporting of the City’s expenditures and related liabilities. During our testing of expenditures, certain audit CITY OF MILTON, GEORGIA Annual Audit Agenda September 30, 2010 Mauldin & Jenkins CPA’s, LLC Page 11 adjustments were required to correct current year amounts. The nature of these adjustments is as follows: The General fund required an adjustment of approximately $44,600 to properly accrue expenditures which were incurred prior to September 30, 2010 but improperly excluded from accounts payable. The Capital Projects fund required an adjustment of approximately $108,400 to properly accrue expenditures which were incurred prior to September 30, 2010 but improperly excluded from accounts payable. Audit adjustments of approximately $153,000 were needed to correctly recognize expenditures as of September 30, 2010. We recommend the City carefully review all expenditures to ensure all necessary transactions are properly reported. Management Points We have discussed various matters with management pertaining to operations and controls including, but not limited to: 1) During our testing of capital assets, we noted that the City maintains their capital assets in an Excel spreadsheet. Maintenance of capital assets and the related depreciation in Excel creates inherent risks of errors that would not occur if these assets were maintained in software that is designed to manage the data and perform calculations such as depreciation on capital assets. To properly maintain the City’s capital assets and mitigate the risk of errors occurring in the accounting for capital assets, we recommend the City utilize a capital assets program that is designed to assist in the accounting for such capital assets. 2) During our testing of grant revenues, we noted the City is not properly tracking grant revenues and expenditures throughout the year. We recommend the City reconcile grant revenues and expenditures on a regular basis in order to accurately report balances throughout the year and at year-end. 3) During our testing of manual journal entries, we noted the City approves journal entries electronically. We recommend the City implement proper system access controls in order to limit the number of individuals who are able to approve and post journal entries. CITY OF MILTON, GEORGIA Annual Audit Agenda September 30, 2010 Mauldin & Jenkins CPA’s, LLC Page 12 Other Matters During our audit of the financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2010, we noted other matters which we wish to communicate to you in an effort to keep the City abreast of accounting matters that could present challenges in financial reporting in future periods. 1) American Recovery & Reinvestment Act - In February 2009, the Federal Government passed the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), often called the Federal Stimulus or Recovery Act. ARRA provides for approximately $580 billion in additional Federal spending, which will predominately be distributed to state and local governments. Of this amount, the State of Georgia expects to receive $7.3 billion, the majority of which is expected to be spent in state fiscal years 2010 and 2011, with the programs receiving funding ranging from Department of Education programs, transportation infrastructure, justice programs, and GEFA energy related programs. The funding available to local governments in Georgia is significant and should have a positive impact in stabilizing budgets and providing for programs that might not otherwise have been funded. That being said, this funding also comes with significant and increasing administrative requirements as well as potentially adding future commitments to your government. In regards to these ARRA funds, we recommend that you do the following: a) Establish a centralized process for accepting ARRA funds – this should be a conscious management decision with the entire organization aware of the requirements. b) Ensure you have proper internal control procedures in place to track funds and ensure compliance with all grant requirements. This should include enhancing current controls for identified weaknesses. c) Ensure subrecipient monitoring controls will meet higher than ever scrutiny. The Federal Government wants the process to proactively identify issues and not just react to issues once they’ve occurred. d) Be prepared for the quarterly Section 1512 reporting requirements. Additionally, be prepared to report ARRA funded projects separately on the SEFA, even if they have the same CFDA number as an existing federal program. 2) New GASB and Yellow Book Standards GASB Standards - As has been the case for the past 10 years, GASB has issued several other new pronouncements which will be effective in future years. The following is a brief summary of the new standards: a) Statement No. 49, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pollution Remediation Obligations, addresses liabilities for existing pollution remediation projects as they are discovered and acted upon. This was effective and implemented for the City with fiscal year ending September 30, 2009, and is a pronouncement that the City should consider at least on an annual basis going forward. CITY OF MILTON, GEORGIA Annual Audit Agenda September 30, 2010 Mauldin & Jenkins CPA’s, LLC Page 13 b) Statement No. 51, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Intangible Assets, which establishes accounting for assets such as easements, water rights, trademarks, and internally generated computer software. This is effective for the City with fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, and is a pronouncement that the City should consider at least on an annual basis going forward. c) Statement No. 53, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Derivative Instruments, which is intended to improve how governments report information about derivative instruments in their financial statements. Over the past two decades, the use of derivative instruments by state and local governments has increased significantly. Although derivatives often result from complex financial transactions, governments have discovered their usefulness in lowering borrowing costs, providing up-front cash payments, and reducing future risks of declining cash flows or asset values. Many governments also use derivative instruments as simple investments intended to generate additional revenues. Examples of derivative instruments commonly used in the public sector include interest rate swaps, forward delivery swaps, "swaptions," and interest rate caps. Specifically, this pronouncement requires governments to measure most derivative instruments at fair value in their financial statements. It also addresses hedge accounting requirements to determine whether a derivative instrument results in an effective hedge. This is effective for the City with fiscal year ending September 30, 2010 and should be heavily considered by the City going forward as opportunities present themselves for investing in various investments as well as issuing certain types of indebtedness. d) Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, which changes the terminology and reporting relative to the presentation of fund balance in governmental funds at the fund level. This is effective for the City with fiscal year ending September 30, 2011. Currently, we have fund balance terms such as reserved, unreserved and designated. Going forward under this new pronouncement we will have terms such as: a. Nonspendable b. Restricted c. Committed d. Assigned e. Unassigned Nonspendable fund balance would include amounts associated with inventory, prepaids, long-term receivables, property held for sale and the corpus of a permanent fund. In essence, nonspendable is the fund balance term to indicate that the respective CITY OF MILTON, GEORGIA Annual Audit Agenda September 30, 2010 Mauldin & Jenkins CPA’s, LLC Page 14 resources are not available to be spent in any way due to their very nature and, or their lack of availability. Restricted carries the same definition as set forth by GASB No. 34 relative to net assets. This would include any fund balance that is restricted in its use by: a) external parties; b) constitutional provisions; or, c) enabling legislation. Good examples in Georgia would include the fund balances associated with an E-911 Fund, a Hotel/Motel Tax Fund, or a SPLOST Fund. Another example would be the fund balance mandated by bond resolutions and covenants to be carried and reported in a Debt Service Fund. Committed fund balance represents amounts for which the governing board of the respective reporting government imposes constraints on how funds may or may not be used. In such a case, the only way a constraint can be removed or changed is by action of the respective governing board. Actions to constrain resources should occur prior to the end of a fiscal year, though the exact amount may be determined subsequently. Assigned fund balance represents amounts intended to be used for specific purposes with the intent being expressed by the reporting government’s governing board or a high level body or individual authorized by the governing board. With the exception of the General Fund, amounts in all other governmental funds that are not nonspendable, restricted or committed will be considered to be assigned. Also, at the fiscal year end any appropriation of existing fund balance to eliminate a projected budgetary deficit in the next year’s budget is considered to be an assignment of fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is anything that does not meet the above definitions and represents fund balance that is available for any purpose. The only fund that will ever report unassigned fund balance is the General Fund except in cases of other governmental funds reporting deficit fund balance (or negative fund balance). The biggest implication to consider today is how your fund balance will be reflected under these new reporting standards and what will interested parties think and understand these amounts to mean and represent. For instance, will your unreserved fund balance of today equate with unassigned fund balance of tomorrow? As you can see, financial reporting for governmental units continues to evolve and change with each and every GASB pronouncement. Along with the above financial statements elements this new pronouncements will require additional information and changes to the respective notes to the financial statements and the management discussion and analysis (MD&A). Such information will include the relevant policies and procedures of the City; consequently, the City should review the pronouncement and consider amending accounting and financial reporting policies that affect the categorization of fund balance, and such efforts should be prior to the close of the 2011 fiscal year. CITY OF MILTON, GEORGIA Annual Audit Agenda September 30, 2010 Mauldin & Jenkins CPA’s, LLC Page 15 e) Other New Statements. The GASB continues to be busy preparing and issuing new pronouncements regulating financial reporting of governmental units. The following list provides brief information relative to new pronouncements that have recently been issued by the GASB. It is not expected that any of the pronouncements will have a significant impact on the financial reporting of the City: i. Statement No. 55, GASB Hierarchy of GAAP for State and Local Governments was effective upon issuance in March 2009. This pronouncement formalizes the order of priority on authoritative financial reporting guidance for governmental units. ii. Statement No. 56, Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Contained in AICPA Statements and Auditing Standards was also effective upon issuance in March 2009. Specifically, this standard addresses: a) related party transactions; b) subsequent events; and, c) going concern considerations. iii. Statement No. 57, OPEB Measurements by Agent Employers and Agent Multiple Employer Plans is effective the year ending September 30, 2012. This pronouncement should not affect the City unless the City becomes an agent for such plans. iv. Statement No. 58, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Chapter 9 Bankruptcies. This statement is currently effective and addresses financial reporting issues for governments who have declared bankruptcy. v. Statement No. 59, Financial Instruments Omnibus is currently effective and deals with certain financial instruments and external investment pools. This statement is not expected to significantly affect the City. CITY OF MILTON, GEORGIA Annual Audit Agenda September 30, 2010 Mauldin & Jenkins CPA’s, LLC Page 16 3) Yellow Book Standards While GASB has been issuing new financial reporting pronouncements affecting governmental units, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has been issuing revised standards relative to the audits of state and local governments. An exposure draft was issued in August 2010 by the GAO amending and revising Government Auditing Standards (the Yellow Book). It is expected that these standards will be finalized and issued in calendar year 2011. The more significant items addressed by the GAO in the August 2010 exposure draft included: a) Actions required if an impairment to auditor independence is identified; b) Definition of those charged with governance consistent with other AICPA audit guidelines; c) Definition of internal control deficiencies to be consistent with other AICPA audit guidelines; d) Promoting modernization of auditing standards consistent with technologies of today; e) Added requirements for reporting restatements of previously issued financial statements; f) Addressed standards related to 1) performance audits, and 2) internal audits; and, g) Changed and emphasized continuing education requirements of auditors in the governmental sector to obtain a minimum of 80 hours of continuing education every two (2) years. The GAO emphasized a significant component of these hours must be directly relevant to governmental auditing. Further, audit team specialist (actuaries, engineers, etc.) have specific guidelines as well. CITY OF MILTON, GEORGIA Annual Audit Agenda September 30, 2010 Mauldin & Jenkins CPA’s, LLC Page 17 4) Sales Tax Collections and Remittances by the State of Georgia’s Department of Revenue During April and May 2009, the Georgia Department of Revenue (DOR) upgraded to a new system for distributing sales taxes and also changed their method of distribution. Previously, sales taxes collected were not substantially disbursed by the DOR to the local governments until two (2) months subsequent to the month that the sales taxes were collected. The DOR now claims the speed of remittances to local governments to substantially take only one (1) month as compared to their old system. However, we have found that recording only one month of receivable to not be appropriate in all circumstances based on actual results and information obtained from the DOR. Additionally, based on our conversations with the DOR, the DOR will no longer be providing the information used in the last year for revenue and related accruals reporting. Therefore, we recommend the City District continue to monitor this situation to determine the appropriate values for reporting sales tax revenues and accruals. One last thought on this subject - the DOR has created a new Sales Tax Distribution Report on its website which allows every local government the ability to identify its monthly sales tax distribution amounts from January 1999 to the present. In an effort to better manage the recognition of revenues, we recommend the City consider utilizing the information as part of its ongoing budget process. Summations of Thoughts Noted Above We believe the implementation of these suggestions will enhance both the control environment and the financial reporting process, making both more effective. We also believe these recommendations can be easily implemented, and all problems resolved quite timely should management elect to employ the corrective measures.

It is currently zoned C-1 (Community Business) pursuant to RZ03-140 for 62,240 square feet of retail, service commercial or office. It is located on the south side of Hwy 9 just west of Sunfish Bend. The site is located within the Office Land Use designation on the City’s Current Future Land Use Map. SITE PLAN ANALYSIS Based on the applicant’s revised site plan submitted to the Community Development Department on March 15, 2011, Staff offers the following considerations: DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS – SEC. 64-669 TR (TOWNHOUSE RESIDENTIAL) • Minimum lot area per unit shall be 2,000 square feet – The minimum lot size shown is 5,000 square feet • Maximum density allowed is 9 units per acre – The density of the subject site is 5.21 units per acre • Minimum lot width is 20 feet – The lots exceed the minimum requirement • Minimum lot frontage is 20 feet – The lots exceed the minimum requirement • Minimum heated floor area per unit is 1,100 square feet – The proposed minimum heated floor area is 2,000 square feet. • Maximum height – no building shall exceed 40 feet. The proposed buildings will not exceed the maximum height. The following are the building setbacks when one building per lot is proposed, and be as follows: • Front yard – 20 feet from right-of-way • Side yard – 7 feet • Side yard adjacent to a street – 15 feet • Rear yard- 25 feet The following are the minimum perimeter setbacks for the entire TR development: • Front yard adjacent to SR 9 – 40 feet • Side yard along the east and west property lines – 30 feet • Rear yard along the south property line –35 feet Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council on April 25, 2011 4/18/2011 Page 12 of 23 RZ11-01 RA/ RZ03-140 • Maximum lot coverage. The area of the foot print of all buildings and parking shall not exceed 50 percent of the total land area. The proposed development covers less than 50 percent of the total land area. The site plan indicates compliance with the development standards. Staff will require that a minimum 20 foot setback from the garage door to the back of the curb be provided in order to ensure that the sidewalk is not blocked by a vehicle parked in the driveway. Secondly, a minimum of 4 spaces shall be provided for each residence based on the fact that the widths of the private streets are not sufficient to provide on street parking. LANDSCAPE STRIPS Staff notes that although the development is located within the SR 9 Overlay District, the overlay district does not apply to single family residential developments (Sec. 64-1069). Therefore the development shall comply with Article III, Tree Preservation and Administrative Guidelines within the Zoning Ordinance, Sec. 64-237 (g) of the Zoning Ordinance as it pertains to buffers and landscape strips which states “Unless otherwise specified, lots developed with single-family detached dwelling units are not required to provide landscape areas or zoning buffers. The site plan indicates a 20-foot landscape strip along Hwy 9 which is consistent with the SR 9 Overlay District. Although in strict adherence to the Zoning Ordinance a landscape strip is not required, Staff will specify the applicant provide a 20-foot landscape strip in the Recommended Conditions. OTHER SITE PLAN CONSIDERATIONS It has been the City Council’s policy in the past where there has been development along Hwy 9 to provide a four board black equestrian fence, not exceeding 55 inches in height. More recently, the recommended design for the equestrian fence may include a column as described in the Hwy 9 Design Guidelines. The rear side of the homes will be fronting Hwy 9 and the City Arborist will require additional plantings within the 20 foot landscape strip to help screen the backs of the homes from view. It has also been City Council’s policy for developments along Hwy 9 to provide sidewalks with a color stamped pattern to simulate transverse double row brick paver pattern every 50 feet, to be approved by the City of Milton Design Review Board. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council on April 25, 2011 4/18/2011 Page 13 of 23 RZ11-01 RA/ RZ03-140 Staff notes that a 20-foot landscape strip is required around the detention pond. It appears that the site plan complies with this requirement. In addition, a black four board equestrian fence shall be constructed interior to the landscape strip along the pond. In addition, the stormwater management facilities shall utilize earthen embankments, where possible. Walled structures are not encouraged. The items discussed above will be in the Recommended Conditions. ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ANALYSIS The Environmental Site Analysis (ESA) report is sufficient and satisfies the requirement of Section 64.2126. A field survey of the site was conducted by Staff to verify areas addressed in the ESA report. The proposed site does not contain wetlands, floodplains, streams, steep slopes, historical sites or sensitive plant and animal species. Staff notes that there were discussions at the Public Participation Meeting regarding a stream. Based on field observations by both the City Arborist and the applicant’s engineer, a perennial stream appears not to exist but it appears to be a drainage ditch. Staff notes that the Public Works department has included a condition to provide a stream evaluation prepared by a qualified environmental professional for the stream channel on the western side of the property. ARBORIST COMMENTS The subject site is presently ninety percent (90%) barren of trees. There are few trees along the northern portion of property. There are small, insignificant trees along the eastern and southern portion of the property. The western portion has a fair amount of young pines. Every effort should be made to place all required trees on site. If not possible, the outstanding difference shall be placed into the reforestation fund. • Recompense for 41” oak • 39 (4”) trees for recompense will be required • 20’ landscape strip outside of detention pond fencing required • Approximately 330 (2”) trees for density • Recommend that most of the trees be installed at rear of lots 1-15 and 20- 43 CITY OF MILTON FIRE MARSHAL There is no outstanding fire code issues associated with the proposed rezoning as they are now presented.

PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT On February 23, 2011 the applicant was present at the Community Zoning Information Meeting (CZIM) held at the Milton City Hall. There were no members of the community in attendance. Public Comments – Staff has not received any correspondence regarding this development. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION REPORT The applicant hosted a Public Participation Meeting on Thursday, March 3, 2011 at the Windward Kroger Community Room. There were ten (10) citizens in attendance. The public expressed the following: 1.) What type of fencing was to be used along Highway 9? o The Community stated that it would prefer fencing compatible with that in the area and not the equestrian four Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council on April 25, 2011 4/18/2011 Page 15 of 23 RZ11-01 RA/ RZ03-140 board fencing used in other areas of Milton. The Applicant confirmed that fencing would be used and that the Applicant would work with the immediately surrounding communities to come up with a style of fencing agreeable to both the applicant and surrounding communities. 2.) Stream at the rear of the property and how stream flow and detention would be addressed. o The applicant confirmed that it was aware of existing stream flow issues at the rear of the property and that the applicant would adequately address the issue with development of the property. The community agreed that the detention facility was being placed in the only area on the property that made sense. (Staff notes that after speaking to our environmental engineer and the applicant’s engineer that there appears not to be a perennial or state water that affects the site. There is a ditch for drainage that comes into a headwall in Lake Laurel to the south. ) 3.) The community requested on-site evaluation with the applicant to address landscaping along both Hwy 9 and the rear of the property. o The applicant agreed to arrange a meeting on the property with community representatives to discuss the issue of landscaping and to agree upon a landscaping plan that reasonably meets the concerns of the immediately surrounding communities and property owners. 4.) Immediately surrounding property owners adjoining the rear property line expressed concern over the building setback being 35 feet. o The applicant agreed to meet with those property owners adjoining the rear property line to come up with landscaping along the rear property that would reasonably protect the privacy of those property owners adjoining the rear property line. 5.) Traffic. Most of the concern expressed regarding traffic came from property owners within the Lake Laurel Subdivision. o The applicant acknowledged the challenges of the traffic in the area and committed to working with the surrounding communities to see if GDOT would agree to place a traffic Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council on April 25, 2011 4/18/2011 Page 16 of 23 RZ11-01 RA/ RZ03-140 light along Hwy 9 in the general area of the property to better handle the flow of traffic. CITY OF MILTON DESIGN REVIEW BOARD COURTESY REVIEW – MARCH 1, 2011 Comments: • Structures look good, but you’ll need to deal with infrastructure issues in a significant way, i.e. • Put a street tree on every lot, • Light fixtures should be to scale, should be shorter/smaller, • High level, quality finishes, • No dog eared privacy fences, • How you deal with end caps will be critical, • Pay attention to your adjacency matrix. • Push for some kind of traffic control, to aid exiting traffic, • The entry/arrival sequence is critical. Include heavy landscaping, fencing to compliment Crooked Creek, • Include special consideration for visitor parking. Standards of Review (Section 64-2104) Planning Staff shall, with respect to each zoning application, investigate and make a recommendation with respect to factors 1 through 7, below, as well as any other factors it may find relevant. 1. 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 43 lot single family residential subdivision developed at a density of 5.21 units per acre is consistent with nearby properties. Wyndham located to the east is zoned TR (Townhouse Residential) and developed with townhomes at a density of 8.14 units per acre. Further to the east is Kennewick zoned CUP (Community Unit Plan) developed with detached single family residences at a density of 4.99 units per acre. To the west is undeveloped property zoned TR (Townhouse Residential) at a density of 7.87 units per acre. Across State Route 9 to the north is The Greens at Crooked Creek zoned CUP (Community Unit Plan) at a density of 3.6 units per acre. The remainder of Crooked Creek and the Atlanta Athletic Club are also zoned CUP (Community Unit Plan) but at a density of 1.7 units per acre. To the south is Lake Laurel zoned R4A (Residential) at a density of 2.2 units per acre. It is Staff’s opinion that the proposed use is suitable with adjacent and nearby developments and zonings. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council on April 25, 2011 4/18/2011 Page 17 of 23 RZ11-01 RA/ RZ03-140 2. Whether or not the proposal will adversely affect the existing use or usability of adjacent or nearby property? It is Staff’s opinion that the proposal will not adversely affect existing use or usability of the adjacent properties as described above. The proposed development is within the range of existing approved densities and uses in the area. Provision of a street extension for future connection to the west provides a benefit to the adjacent property. 3. Whether the property to be affected by the proposal has a reasonable economic use as currently zoned? The subject site does have a reasonable use currently zoned C-1 (Community Business) for a total of 62,240 square feet of retail commercial, or office. 4. 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, utilities, or schools as proposed. Comments from the Fulton County Board of Education are included in the report as it relates to the estimated number of new students for the proposed redistricting. The applicant will provide the required transportation improvements as shown on the site plan indicating a deceleration lane and left turn lane. In addition, a future inter-parcel access to the undeveloped TR (Townhouse Residential) to the west is shown on the site plan. These improvements will help ameliorate the increased amount of traffic created by the proposed development. 5. Whether the proposal is in conformity with the policies and intent of the land use plan? Future Land Use Plan Map: Office Proposed use/density: Single Family Residential at 5.21 units per acre The Future Land Use Plan Map suggests Office for the subject site and the properties to the east to the Fulton-Forsyth County line, and continues Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council on April 25, 2011 4/18/2011 Page 18 of 23 RZ11-01 RA/ RZ03-140 west to Lake Laurel along the south side of State Route 9. The proposed TR (Townhouse Residential) development does not conform to the Land Use Plan Map for Office. The Milton City Council adopted the Partial Plan Update to the City’s Comprehensive Plan on December 21, 2009. The proposed development is consistent with the following Plan Policies if developed with the recommended conditions: • We will accommodate our diverse population by encouraging a compatible mixture of housing types, densities and costs within the City. • We will encourage development of housing opportunities that enable residents to live close to their places of employment. • We will support new land uses that enhance housing options in our community while maintaining support for the existing developed lower density, rural, agrarian, equestrian, and residential areas of the City. 6. Whether there are other existing or changed conditions affecting the use and development of the property which gives supporting grounds for either approval or disapproval of the proposal? Although the proposed development is consistent with adjacent and nearby zonings and developments, it is inconsistent with the Future Land Use Plan which shows the subject site should be Office and in the currently recommended comprehensive plan also shows Office as appropriate. The Office designation is also recommended along the entire south side of Hwy 9 from just north of the entrance of Lake Laurel to the Forsyth County line going north. Based on the fact that the Future Land Use Plan recommends Office, it is grounds to recommend disapproval for the proposed TR (Townhouse Residential) zoning developed with single family residential units. 7. Whether the zoning proposal will permit a use which can be considered environmentally adverse to the natural resources, environment and citizens of the City of Milton? The proposed use will not be environmentally adverse to the natural resources, environment and citizens of the City due to the required Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council on April 25, 2011 4/18/2011 Page 19 of 23 RZ11-01 RA/ RZ03-140 development regulations as it pertains to stormwater facilities, tree recompense and landscape requirements. CONCLUSION Although the proposed development is consistent with adjacent and nearby developments in the area and appears to meet the required development requirements, it is inconsistent with the Future Land Use Plan’s recommendation of Office as well as the Future Land Use Plan approved by the State. Therefore, Staff recommends DENIAL of RZ11-02 to rezone from C-1 (Community Business) to TR (Townhouse Residential) to develop a 43 lot single family residential subdivision. If the Mayor and City Council recommend approval, Staff provides the following Recommended Conditions.

Staff notes that the location map indicates two parcels that have been combined into one parcel containing a total of 3.187 acres. The subject site is developed with an existing church, fellowship hall, associated parking, driveways, basketball court, and cemetery. Staff notes that the driveway onto Ebenezer Road was constructed around 2005 on the parcel that primarily fronts Ebenezer Road. This parcel was not included in the original Use Permit granted in 1996 pursuant to U96-005. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on April 25, 2011 4/18/2011 Page 10 of 21 U11-01/VC11-01 RA/ U96-005 SITE PLAN ANALYSIS Based on the applicant’s site plan submitted to the Community Development Department on February 4, 2011, Staff offers the following considerations: PARKING REQUIREMENTS The site plan indicates a total of 28 spaces. The subject site has an approved concurrent variance to provide a total of 25 parking spaces (95VC-17, Part 4). Staff notes that the addition to the fellowship hall will not impact the number of parking spaces needed as the ratio is based on the number of fixed seats in the sanctuary. It appears that the site can meet the requirements of Sec. 64-1141 (2) a. It requires that the applicant provide a 10 foot landscaped island for every 72 feet of double row length or 90 feet of single row length of parking spaces. Use Permit Standards Per Sec. 64-1804 (b) (2), no parking shall be located within the minimum front yard setback. The site was granted a concurrent variance to allow parking within the minimum front yard pursuant to 95VC-17, Part 1. The proposed expansion of the fellowship hall meets the remainder of the use permit standards for a church. Northwest Overlay District BUILDING SIZE, ORIENTATION, SETBACK, HEIGHT, SCALE, AND PARKING Sec 64-1145 (6) c. requires that no on-site parking shall be located to the front of a building and/or between a building and the public right-of-way. As stated above, pursuant to 96VC-17, Part 1 allows parking in this area. BUILDING SETBACKS Sec. 64-1145 (3) a. of the Northwest Fulton Overlay District requires a maximum 20-foot building setback from the edge of the required landscape strip and/or easements for all properties and lots located adjacent to public rights-of-way from 0 to 400 feet from an intersection. Based on the fact that the two buildings existed prior to the adoption of the Northwest Fulton Overlay District, a variance is not required. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on April 25, 2011 4/18/2011 Page 11 of 21 U11-01/VC11-01 RA/ U96-005 BUILDING HEIGHT Sec. 64-1145(4) of the Northwest Overlay District requires a maximum height limit of two stories with the maximum height 30 feet from average-finished grade to the bottom of the roof eave. The applicant has not specifically indicated the height of the existing structure and addition, but it appears to meet this standard based on the existing conditions. LANDSCAPE STRIPS AND BUFFERS Sec 64-1141(1) a. requires a 10 foot landscape strip along all public streets. Although the applicant was granted a variance to delete the required 20 foot landscape strip as was required in 1996; Staff recommends that the applicant preserve the large wooded area adjacent to Ebenezer Road and the portion along Cox Road that was not in the original Use Permit granted in 1996. A condition will be included in the recommended conditions to reflect the preservation of this wooded area. Sec. 64-1141 (3) a. of the Northwest Overlay District requires a 50 foot undisturbed buffer, with a 10’ improvement setback, located adjacent to all AG-1 zoning districts and all property zoned, used, or developed for residential uses. The applicant requested a concurrent variance to reduce the undisturbed buffer and 10 foot improvement setback to zero feet along the west property lines where the cemetery, fellowship building, driveway and basketball court encroach into the buffer. Staff notes that based on the fact that the cemetery was located on the site prior to the adoption of any type of zoning ordinance and it is an “exceptional condition not caused by the applicant” (Sec 64.1883). The deletion of the buffer and improvement setback should be approved along the portion of the west property line where the cemetery is located. Pursuant to U96-005/VC96-17, the applicant was granted a reduction of a 25 foot undisturbed buffer and 10 foot improvement setback to zero feet along what was then the existing north property line. This line was approximately located across the driveway labeled “existing concrete driveway” and just below the existing basketball court going in an east/west direction. Based on the fact that this variance was granted and since that time, the Northwest Fulton Overlay District was adopted requiring a greater buffer of 50 feet, this was an “exceptional condition not caused by the applicant” (Sec 64.1883). In addition, based on the existing construction of the Fellowship Hall being an A- frame roof construction, the location of 28” white oak’s drip line, it appears that this is the only alternative placement for the addition. The existing basketball court and driveway onto Ebenezer Road were installed prior to the existence of the City of Milton’s incorporation; Staff will allow these encroachments to remain. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on April 25, 2011 4/18/2011 Page 12 of 21 U11-01/VC11-01 RA/ U96-005 Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL U11-01 and VC11-01with the recommended conditions. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT On February 23, 2011 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 Participation Plan and Report The applicant has met the requirements of the Public Participation Plan and Report. The Public Participation meeting was held at the church on February 15, 2011 between the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 9 p.m. There was no one who attended the meeting. Public Comments – Staff has received one e-mail which is attached at the end of the report. City of Roswell Community Development Department Staff provided information to the City of Roswell and they were not opposed to the proposed development. City of Milton Design Review Board Meeting – March 1, 2011 The following recommendations were made by the DRB: • To increase the size of the existing Fellowship Hall from 2,060 square feet to 3,000 square feet and a concurrent variance to delete the 50-foot undisturbed buffer and 10-foot improvement setback along the west property lines to allow the encroachment of the existing driveway, basketball court, portion of the fellowship Hall and the cemetery. Comments: Get letter from adjacent property owners, On site plan, show location of existing buildings on adjacent properties (Staff notes that there are no buildings along the western property lines of the site) ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ANALYSIS The Environmental Site Analysis (ESA) report is sufficient and satisfies the requirement of Section 64.2126. A field survey of the site was conducted by Staff to verify areas addressed in the ESA report. The proposed site does not contain wetlands, floodplains, streams, steep slopes, or sensitive plant and animal Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on April 25, 2011 4/18/2011 Page 13 of 21 U11-01/VC11-01 RA/ U96-005 species. The new construction will not impact any historical or archeological entities. City of Milton Fire Marshal There is no outstanding fire code issues associated with the proposed rezoning as they are now presented. City Arborist CONDITIONS: There are no specimen trees that will be impacted and appears that only a couple, if any trees will need to be removed. Northwestern buffer: existing driveway presently encroaching into the 50’ buffer. Remaining vegetation is fairly dense with deciduous material. There is little to no room for additional plantings. North central buffer: little vegetation is this 50’ area; there are some decent size hardwoods, but little screening material in this area. Adjacent property to the north is denser with existing, mostly deciduous vegetation. Western buffer: Adjacent to cemetery, fairly dense, deciduous material. There is little room for additional plantings without creating disturbance to an otherwise undisturbed area. Comments: The north central buffer is the only buffer that would readily accommodate additional plantings. The best that can be done to address buffer requirement is to remove existing hardwoods and replant buffer. The adjacent property is heavily wooded with young hardwood trees. With the intent to not remove trees to plant trees, at most would require that some additional plantings be installed within this area, at city arborist discretion. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on April 25, 2011 4/18/2011 Page 14 of 21 U11-01/VC11-01 RA/ U96-005 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 Sec. 64-1552 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 Sec.64-1804 of the Zoning Ordinance, the proposed development is consistent with the intent and following policy of the Partial Plan Update: • We will encourage development that is sensitive to the overall setting of the community and will contribute to our community’s character and sense of place. 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 expansion 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 if approved with the recommended conditions. D. The effect of the proposed use on traffic flow, vehicular and pedestrian, along adjoining streets; The proposed should not generate an increase in traffic based on the fact that the expansion will not increase the number of trips to the site. E. The location and number of off-street parking spaces; As indicated in the Site Plan Analysis, the subject site requires a total of 25 parking spaces located within the minimum front yard pursuant to VC96- 17. The site plan indicates an additional 3 parking spaces on the site. Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on April 25, 2011 4/18/2011 Page 15 of 21 U11-01/VC11-01 RA/ U96-005 F. The amount and location of open space; The applicant’s site plan indicates that approximately half of the subject site remains undeveloped. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed development will provide adequate open space for the proposed development. G. Protective screening; If developed in accordance with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, existing concurrent variances, the existing wooded areas adjacent to Ebenezer Road and portions of the western property lines, there is adequate screening for the proposed development. H. Hours and manner of operation; The applicant has stated that the operations for the church will be primarily on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and on Wednesday from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. I. Outdoor lighting; The applicant has minimal security lighting on site. Staff notes that the site shall be in compliance with Sec. 64-1144 of the Northwest Fulton Overlay District regarding outdoor lighting. J. Ingress and egress to the property. The applicant’s site plan indicates one curb cut on Ebenezer Road and two curb cuts on Cox Road. 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. Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of U11-01 for the church and expanded fellowship hall. In addition, Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of VC11-01.

We would like to inform you that we oppose the part of the application that requests to delete the 50 - foot undisturbed buffer and 10 - foot improvement setback along the property lines. We also oppose to reducing the buffer only a few feet, or to allow an encroachment of any kind of building, or another use, including a cemetery, along all the property lines.

To the owners agreement to restrict the use of the subject property as follows: e. Provide at least a 100 foot building setback from the property line of the CUP (Community Unit Plan). ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The subject site is a 3.215 acre undeveloped, heavily wooded residential lot located in Estates at Atlanta National (formally known as The Estates at National). It is zoned CUP (Community Unit Plan) pursuant to RZ85-181. The applicant is requesting to reduce the 100-foot perimeter building setback along the southern property lines to 50 feet and the west property line to 40 feet to construct a single family residence with approximately 4,500 square feet. The Capital City Club golf course is located to the south and west of the subject property with an access road and a single family residence to the east. The applicant also owns a small parcel just north of lot 9 not included in the subject subdivision and the Atlanta National Golf Club owns the remainder of the property to the north. Condition 1.e. requires a 100 foot building setback from the property line of the CUP for all adjacent properties. The site plan indicates that the proposed residence will encroach into a portion of the 100 foot perimeter setback by 50 feet along the south property line and 40 feet along the west property line. The lot is shaped like a reversed “flag” with frontage along Crooked Stick Drive. The southern portion of the lot is 80 feet in width in addition to the proposed 50 foot building setback. Under the current conditions there isn’t adequate area to build a house of the size proposed. Staff notes that there is a 25 foot side building setback along the north property line of the “pole” portion of the flag shaped lot. The required 100 foot setback along the west property line and the required 60 foot front setback (the site plan is incorrectly labeled 25 feet) along the east property line also do not provide sufficient area to build a house. The applicant also proposes a 30 foot undisturbed buffer adjacent to the Capital City Club along the south and western property lines to provide additional screening for the golf course. Staff will also include the 30 foot undisturbed buffer in the recommended conditions. The applicant has submitted support letters from the adjacent property owner to the east at 270 Crooked Stick Drive (lot 8) where the closest residence is located and another from the Estates at Atlanta National Homeowners Association. Staff notes that the City of Milton Mayor and City Council have approved two previous Zoning Modifications to reduce the same 100 foot building setback from the property line of the CUP pursuant to ZM09-01 on Atlanta National Drive and ZM07-02 on Crooked Stick Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on April 25, 2011 Page 7 of 9 4/4/2011 Drive. In addition, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved three requests to reduce the 100 foot building setback from the property line of the CUP. CONCLUSION Based on the shape and multiple building setback requirements that leave the lot with extremely limited developable area, Although Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of ZM10-01 to modify condition 1.e to provide a 50 foot building setback along the southern property lines and 40 feet along the west property line, the applicant is requesting a deferral to allow the request to be modified and re-advertised.

Background: The Mayor and City Council created the Hwy 9 Design Guidelines Committee in early 2009 to develop design guidelines for the Hwy 9 area. These Guidelines were approved by the Mayor and City Council through Resolution on December 20, 2010. Through this process, the Committee created additional design concepts for the Hwy 9 area that needed to be included in the State Route 9 Overlay District for future developments. In addition, both Staff and the Committee agreed that the design requirements created by Deerfield (enforced through their association) needed to be included in the amendments to the State Route 9 Overlay District for future developments. The major changes were reviewed by the City Design Review Board and two joint work sessions were held between the Planning Commission and the Highway 9 Design Guidelines Committee. Lastly, the Planning Commission made their recommendations to the amendments on March 22, 2011. The text amendments presented are a result of the various meetings. Discussion: This is the first major edit to the Hwy 9 Overlay District since the creation of the City of Milton. Listed below is a summary of the major changes and additions to the Overlay: − ACCESS - Internal access and rear service drives should be designed to join together existing streets and to connect adjoining properties. Vehicular circulation between parcels should be required by inter-parcel access in order to minimize traffic on streets and to encourage pedestrian traffic between parcels City of Milton 13000 Deerfield Parkway, Suite 107 Milton, GA 30004 − BUILDING PLACEMENT – Require placement of buildings near the street. Maximum setback for buildings less than 50,000 square feet is a 100 foot setback; Maximum setback for buildings greater than 50,000 square feet is a 300 foot setback for State Route 9. − PARKING AND PAVING – On site parking shall be located to the side and rear of building when buildings are located close to the road. − Newly developed streets shall be designed to accommodate on street parking. − Provide a more user friendly method for calculating shared parking. − Revise parking standards to provide ratios for additional land uses and for today’s industry standards. (This was addressed through RZ11-04) − Require new developments or redevelopments to minimize the amount of impervious paving materials. − STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FACILITIES – If facilities are located above ground they shall be located in the least conspicuous area of the project site or design them to create a natural look. − STREET FURNITURE/LIGHTING – Adopt street furniture standards and lighting as specified in Guidelines Document. − FENCING – Require one of the types of preferred fencing styles depicted in the Guidelines for all commercial development or redevelopment. Do not want the same design throughout the corridor. − ARCHITECTURE (NON- RESIDENTIAL) – Amend the existing requirements to encourage the overall character of the buildings to be consistent with the State Route 9 Overlay district including the color palate. − AMENITIES – For developments over 75,000 square feet provide and furnish amenity areas such as pocket parks, plazas, public art and walking and recreational trails. The Planning Commission has asked that this section be further studied prior to adoption. • Deerfield Overlay – Creation of a new overlay to be a subset of the State Route 9 Overlay District. − To cover the areas as defined by the Deerfield Master Association. − Primary goal is to adopt the same architectural standards as currently required by Deerfield to assist future development/redevelopment to be consistent with the existing buildings. − There is support from the Deerfield Owners Association. Alternatives: The Council may allow the ordinances to remain as proposed or make other amendments to the proposed revisions.

The mayor and city council hereby declares it to be the purpose and intent of this Section division to recognize that the Deerfield Plan is located in the southwest portion of the City of Milton and serves as the primary commercial, office, and high density residential development within the City. In addition, the area was master planned with a specific aesthetic that is consistent throughout the area. It is the City’s intent to preserve and encourage this aesthetic that includes, but is not limited to, landscaping, buildings, and parking, A site’s natural assets and its relationship to its immediate surroundings should have a significant influence on the design. The Deerfield Plan is based on the physiographic features of the land, and each individual development parcel or project within the Deerfield Plan should realize this point and incorporate existing site specific characteristics such as vegetation, topography, hydrology and views. Topography, vegetation and hydrology are closely interrelated and have a direct effect on each other. Disruption to any one element will have repercussions to the others, which must be carefully considered. The inherent qualities existing within the Deerfield Plan can and should be incorporated into site planning and design efforts. Sec 64-1101 – Applicability. (a) The Deerfield Plan is a section of the State Route 9 Overlay District that applies to all parcels as represented in the Map titled “Deerfield Area” 14 RZ11‐03 Text Amendment to State Route 9 Overlay District Prepared for the Mayor and City Council on April 25, 2011 PC Comments shown in red and blue If standards are not specified in the State Route 9 Overlay District, then this zoning ordinance shall apply.

Background: After more than four years of incorporation and evaluating various rezoning, use permits, as well as development permits, the Community Development Staff experienced the existing off-street parking requirements did not reflect current standards. In addition, the State Route 9 Design Guidelines Committee concurred that improved parking standards were needed to assist in creating aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly developments within the City. Discussion: The major changes in the requirements are reductions in retail commercial and office uses. Staff also included new use categories including carry out only restaurants, data centers, and libraries. The methodology for calculating shared parking was researched and Staff concluded although the current method is cumbersome it remains the easiest and most convenient way to calculate shared parking. Additionally, a reduction of the basic parking requirement was included for areas within walking distance from developments to bus stops. The mention of MARTA rail stations was deleted within the same section. Proposed changes were reviewed by the Planning Commission and the proposed amendments include their recommendations. Alternatives: The Council may allow the ordinances to remain as proposed or make other amendments to the proposed revisions.

Background: The Historic Preservation Commission Ordinance (Article XVIII) was approved by the Mayor and City Council on June 21, 2010. The Ordinance provided for the creation of a historic preservation commission whose structure reflected the State Model Ordinance which was not consistent with each Councilmember’s terms but required each appointee’s term to be three years in length and subject to reappointment for concurrent terms. Discussion: It was discovered that this method for appointing historic preservation commissioners was inconsistent with all other City Boards and Commissions. That portion of the Historic Preservation Commission Ordinance requires amending to be consistent with the current Mayor and Councilmember’s terms. Therefore, the text amendment was written by the Community Development Staff and reviewed by the Planning Commission reflecting their recommendations. Alternatives: The Council may allow the ordinances to remain as proposed or make other amendments to the proposed revisions.
