Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, June 6, 2011 Page 8 of 13 • We were asked to look at the Crabapple and see if there was potential to keep those funds in that area. • Looking at the transportation projects that are being proposed in that area and the land plan performed by Lew Oliver. • We have projects in the Crabapple area that would utilize the T -Grant. • Some of the projects that we are looking at for this particular grant would be the addition of pedestrian lighting along Mayfield and Broadwell all the way to school drive along 372. • There will be some sidewalk connectivity identified in Lew Oliver's study that would bring sidewalks from the Alpharetta city limits up mid -Broadwell as well as sidewalk connections along Mayfield. • We have prepared a resolution to forward to GDOT to formally transfer the funds from Fulton County to the City of Milton to allow us to proceed with the projects. Councilmember Zahner Bailey: • As we move further with this, will there be more specific information with the type of lights, type of poles, etc.? • We chose the sidewalks that we did because they will not be negatively affected by future roadwork. Carter Lucas: • All of the lighting that we have done in our preliminary estimates would match the lighting that we currently have in City of Milton but not necessarily Alpharetta. • We have done preliminary estimates with Georgia Power. • There will be a final design that comes through with all of these. Councilmember Lusk: • I have read that it will be approximately 2 years before you put them out to bid? Carter Lucas: • We have two years to put them out to bid.

RESOLUTION NO. 11-06-180 (Agenda Item No. 11-1.22) (Lynn Tully, Community Development Director) Lynn Tully: • This is the final step in approval for the comprehensive plan. • This is the third prong of a very lengthy process. • The first two portions of the plan, the community assessment and the community participation plan were approved in 2008. • Since 2008, we have been working on the comprehensive plans community agenda portion. Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, June 6, 2011 Page 9 of 13 • It is the portion that sets policy, identifies future land use potential, and it sets forward a short r... term work program and a long term work program for accomplishing the plan. • CPAC has worked diligently on this. • It went to DCA after your transmittal in December. • We received very few comments, none of which were life altering in any way. • We did get an approval from DCA on February 22, 2011. • We have addressed those comments with CPAC. • We did that in a meeting on April 20, 2011. • CPAC has recommended this plan to you all to here today. • The plan in your packet is a little different from the future land use map that you had received before. It was missing three small areas. • One of the small changes is a community facilities property that is located at the corner of Cox road and Etris. • The other is a parcel of six acres that is surrounded by Waterside Development out on Crabapple Road. • It is future land use plan for high density residential to match Waterside. • The other is the addition of the John Whelan property into the mixed use area. • Mr. Moore is here from CPAC to help answer any questions. Councilmember Tart: Pl"` • Is there a way for us to change the land use map to accommodate the approval of the residential on Highway 9? "'".& • Are there any legal justifications to changing it now? Lynn Tully: • Yes sir, now is the time to do it. • All small changes are welcome at this period without having to be sent back to DCA. • TR is probably a good buffer use or transitional use for an O&I. City Attorney Jarrard: • No, there is no legal justification. Councilmember Lusk: • Could you address the comments that DCA did have? Lynn Tully: • One comment was regarding a statement saying we would not be in conflict with our neighboring jurisdictions in regards to their comp plans. That statement has been added to page 16, 67, and 68. • We have been working with Alpharetta who is in the middle of their comp plan, Roswell, Cherokee, as well as Forsyth County. • Everyone is subject to their own commissions and committees. • One item we included was potential inter urisdictional and regional solutions. • It asked that the city continue to work with MARTA to GRETA to improve transit access within the city which is addressed on page 65. • It did note that we did not specifically mention the North Fulton Comprehensive plan that was developed but we did include it in our supplemental plans section and again on pages 13 and 15. Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, June 6, 2011 Page 10 of 13 • It asked us to include potential work with organizations such as PEDS and PATH and those references were made. • It included internal consistency of our planning elements which they felt were consistent as well as consistency with regional development plans. • Other comments included potential for the city to consider a three -acre -lot zoning district. • We did discuss this in length with CPAC early and late in the process. • We don't have to take all comments from the ARC, but we do have to take them all under advisement. • In the transfer of development rights, we should include several other references in pages nine, 14, 57, 63 and 64. • The city should address the need for increased density and targeted redevelopment areas. • New developments proposed within the city and existing developments should be required to connect to one another through the use of development codes or zoning regulations. • It does recommend access management studies to be conducted from major corridors within the city, especially those mentioned as development areas or master planning areas which are addressed on page 63. • The plan does address congestion, multimodal, and walkability. • There is little mention of safety as part of the transportation strategies and this can be integrated within what has already been written. • It did mention the designation of the Crabapple area as the city's town center. • We didn't designate a location in the plan but we did discuss the creation of the plan. • I can provide you all with the comments and the answers to council. Councilmember Thurman: • Language for suitability of development should be clarified. • Under short term work programs, it talks about applying for other grants this year. Can we apply for more or do we have to wait sometime between grants? • On page 61, I feel that we should change the language to "consideration of adoption" because an impact fee ordinance can be very detrimental to the city. • I think impact fees are for areas that you have significant growth. • On the short term work program, under NRC 1- Create A Historic Zoning Code, it doesn't show up until 2013. Is that something we are currently working on trying to do? Lynn Tully: • We need to continue to grow even before the master plan is adopted, but we need to make sure it will not conflict with the master plan. • We cannot apply for the same grants. Assuming we can get a town center area designated, we can apply for a town center grant. • I've seen impact fees be successful and I've seen them ward off some development. • Impact fees create a more level playing field for developers instead of negations, they know what all the fees will be beforehand. • When you include roadway costs, it gets expensive. • In regards to the NRC 1 -Historic Code, we are trying to get them all into a database. • He state has not been very supportive of the ordinance we adopted. ` " Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, June 6, 2011 Page I 1 of 13 Councilmember Lusk: • We did get the report back on the Historic Preservation Ordinance and it was not approved. • They take issue with the creation of a historic zone. • What are the implications of the Historic Preservation Commission? • Is that the only part of the ordinance that we couldn't act on? • Does this put the commission on hold? Lynn Tully: • Receipt of any grants from the state of those properties that would be within a historic district for renovation, tax credits, and things of that nature. • It doesn't put it on hold but it does put certain sections on hold. • They have concern about designating a historic site. • You have nominated four sites on your own. Councilmember Zahner Bailey: • Did CPAC address this map or any of these changes? Lynn Tully: • Yes, it was identified. • Watergate has been reflected on prior maps. awft • The changes that you have all stated tonight, will be reflected on an updated map. Motion: Councilmember Hewitt moved to approve Agenda Item 11-122 with the following changes: 1. On page nine, under the sixth bullet point under "Issues" should read: "New development threatens to encroach upon areas that may not be suited for development." 2.
