ZONING HEARINGS
8. J. Patrick Connell, Agent, Paul W. Harrison, Petitioner, (File No. 15-003200-
ZA) requesting to rezone 305 W. 35th Street from a Mid-City District TN-2
(Traditional Neighborhood) zoning classification to a Mid-City District TC-1
(Traditional Commercial Neighborhood) zoning classification. Metropolitan
Planning Commission recommends approval of the request to rezone 305 W.
35th Street from a Mid-City District TN-2 (Traditional Neighborhood) zoning
classification to a Mid-City District TC-1 (Traditional Commercial
Neighborhood) zoning classification. The Planning Commission believes that
rezoning the property to TC-1 will provided a “buffer” between the property
zoned B-C to the west (a single-family home) and the property zoned TN-2 to
the east (also a single-family home). The Planning Commission also
recommends a Future Land Use Map change from Traditional Neighborhood
to Traditional Commercial.
Metropolitan Planning Commission Staff recommended denial of the request
because of the potentially detrimental consequences to the neighborhood if
the property is zoned TC-1. The current TN-2 district allows the petitioner
reasonable use of the property, including the ability to use the residence as a
home and a bed and breakfast inn, and also the ability to lease the accessory
dwelling. (Continued from the meeting of August 6, 2015). Recommend
denial of the rezoning request.
9. Attorney John D. Northup, Agent for GW Investments, LLC, Petitioner, (File
No. 15-003669-ZA) requesting to rezone 1020 East Broad Street from P-R-4
(Planned Four-family Residential) and P-BG-2 (Planned General Business-
Transition 2) zoning classifications to an RIP-B (Medium Density Residential)
zoning classification applying the “extraordinary and unusual” provision of
Sec. 8-3031(D)(1)(a) of the Zoning Ordinance.
-3-
The subject property comprises 1.56 acres, and occupies most of a street
block bounded by East Broad Street to the west, East Waldburg Street to the
north and Park Avenue to the south. About half the property is zoned P-R-4,
which allows 12 dwelling units per net acre. The remaining portion is P-BG-2,
which is a commercial/light industrial zoning classification that does not permit
residential development. The petitioner is requesting the RIP-B zone to allow
development of a 69-unit apartment complex.
MPC staff reviewed existing land uses and development patterns of the
surrounding neighborhood to determine the most appropriate standards and
land uses for the property. The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map
designates the property as Traditional Commercial, which is intended to allow
for some commercial uses and residential uses that are compatible within the
neighborhood. Staff determined it is the intent of Mayor and Aldermen to
allow this property to have more development intensity than the
predominantly residential-single family classification in the immediate vicinity
of the property.
However, some of the existing standards within the RIP-B district are not
consistent with the surrounding development pattern. The “unusual or
extraordinary” provision provides the Mayor and Aldermen with the ability to
approve any uses and require design standards and other “special conditions”
to ensure that district will be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood
while allowing the increased density.
Based on this, Metropolitan Planning Commission recommends approval of
the requested rezoning classification from P-R-4 and P-BG-2 to RIP-B,
applying the “extraordinary and unusual” provision of Sec. 8-3031(D)(1)(a)
and including the conditions provided below.
MPC recommends that the following uses, which are permitted within an RIP-
B district, shall not be permitted on the subject property: 1) Rooming and
board houses (Use 9); 2) Hostels (Use 9a); 3) Hotels, motels, motor lodges
(Use 11); 4) College dormitories (Use 13); 5) Short-term vacation rentals (Use
14a); and, 6) Restaurants, sit-down, with beer and wine service (Use 65d).
MPC also recommends that a condition be required that if the residential units
are to be rented/leased, they are to be rented/leased by the dwelling unit and
not by individual bedrooms or beds within the unit. Without this provision,
bedroom rentals become similar to rooming/boarding houses, which are not
recommended as a permitted use in the proposed RIP-B district.
-4-
If approved, these standards would apply to the general development plan
which must be submitted to the Planning Commission for approval. If
residential development other than multi-family is proposed in the future, it is
recommended that the appropriate standards be developed at that time rather
than to apply more urban standards (i.e., smaller lots size and lot widths) that
are not in context with the historic development pattern of the area.
(Continued from the meeting of August 20, 2015) Recommend approval of
the MPC recommendation.
PETITIONS
10. Acknowledge Receipt of Annexation Petition 140889. The City received an
annexation petition for a parcel with an aggregate of 102.3 acres located on
the west side of Georgia Highway 204 in the vicinity of Pinckney Road. The
parcel is currently undeveloped and is owned by OTAMOT Land, LLC. The
owner plans to develop a RV park on the property. The land under petition is
contiguous to existing City territory and therefore can be annexed by
ordinance adopted by City Council. As required by state law the County has
been informed of receipt of this petition.
Annexation is being sought by the owner to gain access to the municipal
utilities provided by the City. The owner desires to gain access to these
services on in-city terms. The cost of providing water and sewer service to
the parcel will be fully covered by connection fees and service fees levied by
the City for providing service.
No action is required at this time other than acknowledgment of petition
receipt. Consideration of ordinances to annex the territory and to designate
City zoning for the territory will be placed on a future agenda. (A map is
attached.) No action required at this time.

TRAFFIC ENGINEERING REPORTS
16. Prohibition of U-Turns on Eisenhower Drive. At the request of the police
department, Traffic Engineering has investigated the safety of reverse turns
on westbound Eisenhower Drive at the intersection of Hodgson Memorial
Drive.
Drivers westbound on Eisenhower Drive are attempting U-turns from the left
turning lane at the intersection of Hodgson Memorial Drive. The narrowness
of the thru lanes precludes complete U-turns to travel eastbound on
Eisenhower Drive without having to back up in the intersection and then
continue to turn left to complete the U-turn. This 3-point turning movement
violates the expectations of other motorists and regularly leads to congestion.
-6-
Traffic Engineering recommends the prohibition of U-turns for westbound
traffic on Eisenhower Drive at the intersection of Hodgson Memorial Drive.
The adoption of an ordinance will allow for the placement of “No U-Turn”
signage on Eisenhower Drive at the intersection of Hodgson Memorial Drive.
(An aerial map is attached.) Recommend approval.

28. Bacon Park Golf Course Bridge Repair – Emergency Purchase – Event No.
3557. Notification of the procurement of construction services from Johnson-
Laux Construction in the amount of $269,650.97. The services are being
used by the Leisure Service Bureau for the replacement of the 18th hole
bridge and the repair of the 15th hole bridge at the Bacon Park Golf Course.
The 18th hole bridge has been condemned and the 15th hold bridge deck is in
poor condition.
This is an emergency because both bridges are considered unsafe. As a
result, the State of Georgia’s job order contractor will be used to perform this
project to meet time constraints and City ordinance requirements. The State
of Georgia’s job order contract is considered a convenience contract that is
available for use by all State, City, and County public entities. The purpose of
this contract is to provide multi-traded general construction services to
accomplish small to medium sized projects for repair, alteration,
modernization, rehabilitation, and minor new construction to infrastructure,
buildings, structures, or other real property. The State of Georgia used a
competitive bidding procedure to select Johnson-Laux Construction to serve
as the sole provider of these services for this region.
The MWBE goal for this contract was 5%: 3% MBE and 2% WBE. The
contractor submitted participation of 8.79%: 6.49% MBE using B&B
Demolition, 2.3% WBE using ABC Waste of Savannah. Delivery: As

30. PACO Horizontal Split-Case Centrifugal Pumps – Sole Source – Event No.
3561. Recommend approval to procure four PACO horizontal split-case
centrifugal pumps from Carl Eric Johnson, Inc. in the amount of $275,038.00.
These pumps will be used to replace the current pumps at the I&D Water
Treatment Plant by Water Supply and Treatment. These pumps are used to
deliver finished water to industrial, municipal, and residential customers. The
new pumps are required because all four of the existing pumps are currently
running to keep up with peak summer demand. Best practice would be to
meet peak demand with three of the four pumps operating, with the fourth
pump available to provide extra capacity for emergency water demands or in
case one pump is off-line for maintenance or repair.
The installation of these pumps is the final piece of the Crossroads booster
station upgrade capital improvement project, which is currently nearing
completion. This capital project increased the capacity of the building’s
electrical power systems necessary to drive the larger motors of the new
pumps.
This is a sole source because this company is the only authorized PACO
distributor for the state of Georgia. Also, the current pumps at the I&D Water
Treatment Plant are PACO pumps. Installation of new pumps by other
