(CH2MHill), a Delaware corporation authorized to do business in Georgia with its principal office located at 9191 S. Jamaica Street, Englewood, CO 80112 (“Contractor”); heretofore referred to jointly as the “Parties.” WHEREAS, the Parties entered into an Amended and Restated Contract Agreement for the Provision of Community Development Services, that commenced on August 1, 2013 (the “Agreement”); and WHEREAS, the Initial Term of the Agreement commenced on August 1, 2013 and shall terminate on June 30, 2014; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Agreement the Agreement shall automatically renew for a term of one (1) year, the first of three automatic renewal terms, and the renewal term shall commence on July 1, 2014 and shall terminate on June 30, 2015. NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, the sums hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is hereby agreed as follows: 1. Article 2.1 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows: 2.1 Compensation for Services. In consideration for the provision of Services described herein, the City agrees to pay the Contractor the amounts as stated in Exhibit C. The “Baseline Compensation Amount” for the current contract year of the Agreement shall be One Million One Hundred Four Thousand Four Hundred Twenty-Six Dollars and No Cents ($1,104,426.00) for services rendered by the Contractor for a period of 12 months. 2. Article 2.2 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows: 2.2 For the contract year beginning July 1, 2015, and each contract year thereafter, the Compensation for the contract year will be negotiated and mutually agreed upon by the Parties or based on the below Baseline Compensation Amount Adjustment Formula. City and Contractor agree that good faith negotiations resulting in mutual agreement are the preferred methodology to be used for calculating the annual increase for the Compensation to be paid by City. In the event that the City and the Contractor fail to agree by June 1, the 1  Compensation amount for the next contract term will be adjusted using the Baseline Compensation Amount Adjustment Formula shown below. Upon each contract year renegotiation, Corporation shall continue to invoice the City at the previous amount until the new contract year price is agreed upon or determined by the Baseline Compensation Amount Adjustment Formula.

While the proposed amendments to these sections are not major changes, they would make administering the code much easier and, in some case, make the City more business friendly. All of the proposed amendments are incorporated into the attached Ordinance and summarized as follows: 1. This amendment to Sec. 600, Accessory Uses or Structures, would remove the existing language that allows a property owner to turn 30% of his front yard (both front and side on corner properties) into a vegetable garden. Although this scenario has not yet occured, if it did, the impact to a residential subdivision could be significant. 2. This amendment to Sec. 1315, Overlay District, would remove the restriction against temporary signs which, technically, prohibits banners from being placed within most of the commercial areas of the City. In addition, language is proposed to add earth tones as acceptable accent colors within the overlay district. Currently, only dark green and brick red are allowed. Also, it is proposed that because of their specialized architecture, restaurants be exempt from the pitched roof requirements for buildings under 5000 sq. ft. in size within the overlay district. However, standards are proposed to be added for those smaller restaurant buildings. 3. This amendment would add a new section to the sign ordinance specifically for real estate and construction signs. Currently, there are no provisions for these types of signs, so they fall under the ‘temporary sign’ regulations which are limited in duration to 20 days. 4. This amendment to Section 1001, Parking, would allow visiting campers and motorhomes to be parked on residential driveways for up to 7 days. This provision will save code enforcement unnecessary work during times when there are holiday and summer travelers visiting family and friends for short durations. CITY OF PEACHTREE CORNERS COUNTY OF GWINNETT, STATE OF GEORGIA ORDINANCE 2014-07-29 AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND ARTICLES V, VI, X, AND XIII OF THE 2012 CITY OF PEACHTREE CORNERS ZONING RESOLUTION BY MODIFYING SPECIFIC PROVISIONS OF THE ACCESSORY USE REGULATIONS, OVERLAY STANDARDS, SIGN REGULATIONS AND PARKING REGULATIONS; REPEALING CONFLICTING REGULATIONS; AND SETTING AN EFFECTIVE DATE WHEREAS, the Mayor and Council of the City of Peachtree Corners are charged with the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Peachtree Corners; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 1.12(a) of the City Charter, the City is charged with exercising the powers of zoning; and WHEREAS, the Mayor and Council desire to amend the current zoning resolution; NOW THEREFORE, the Council of the City of Peachtree Corners hereby ordains, as follows: Section 1: (words struck through are deleted and words underlined are added) 1.
