it as a crutch. He shared that it was embarrassing but thanked his Tyrone family for taking care of

3. Consideration of a rezoning from applicant John Barrow of a 15-acre tract with parcel number
0725 038 from AR (Agricultural Residential) to C-2 (Highway Commercial). Phillip Trocquet,
Town Planner.
Mr. Trocquet shared that the applicant approached him before the meeting and withdrew his
request. Mr. Barrow could not attend the meeting but sent his representative, Mr. Jerry Powell.
Council Member Campbell asked Mr. Powell to approach. Mr. Powell shared that they would be
closing on the property next week. They were initially trying to get ahead of the game. He added
that following the Planning Commission meeting last week, the public mentioned some great
points, it would be prudent to take a moment to consider their concerns. He added that whatever
their team chose to design, they would create it with excellence, something that everyone would
fall in love with. Mr. Trocquet clarified that the property under discussion was in front of the
River Crest subdivision off Hwy 74, on the northwest corner of Laurelmont. The item was
previously heard before the Planning Commission.
Council Member Campbell made a motion to accept the withdraw of the application.

Mayor Dial stated that the withdraw took away the public hearing portion. He informed those in
attendance that there was an additional public comment section at the end of the meeting if anyone
wished to speak.
4. Consideration of a 28-foot setback variance from applicant Douglas Pollard of a 6.4-acre tract
with parcel number 0738 053 at property address 163 Palmetto Road to reduce the rear yard
setback from 30' to 2'. Phillip Trocquet, Town Planner.
Mr. Trocquet informed Council that Mr. Pollard’s petition was a result of a condition of the
rezoning placed on his property last month. He added that Mr. Pollard was requesting a variance
on his setback from 30 ft. to 27.6 ft. He stated that if Council chose to approve the variance along
the rear property line, staff recommended it be approved with the condition that the variance only
is allowed for the portion of the property line in which the accessory structures were located.
Council Member Campbell asked Mr. Trocquet to display the property and to indicate where the
variance would be placed. Mr. Trocquet displayed the proposed plat in which Mr. Pollard had
rezoned and split the property into a 1-acre tract. The applicant’s original request was to reduce
the entire rear setback from 30 ft. to 2 ft. He then reiterated that staff recommended that if
approved, there would be the condition that the setbacks would only go around the structures, not
the entire property line. Council Member Campbell asked if the variance was approved and Mr.
Pollard later sold the property and the accessory structures were removed, would the condition still
stand? Mr. Davenport stated that if the buildings were removed, the variance would be voided
under law.
Mayor Dial opened the public hearing for anyone that wished to speak in favor of the item. No one
spoke.
Mayor Dial then opened the public hearing for anyone that wished to speak in opposition to the
item. No one spoke.
Council Member Campbell made a motion to approve the variance with the stated staff condition.
Council Member Howard seconded the motion. Motion was approved 4-0.
VIII. NEW BUSINESS
5. Consideration to approve an Ordinance enacting provisions for the registration of vacant or
foreclosed real property. Brandon Perkins, Town Manager.
Council Meeting – Social Distancing/YouTube Live
October 7, 2021
Page 3 of 13
Mr. Perkins explained that the purpose of the ordinance was to require the registration of foreclosed
and vacant properties. He added that House Bill 110 provided local governments with guidelines
on establishing vacant and foreclosed property registries, which were passed by the legislature and
signed by the Governor in 2012. Staff and legal had determined that it would be prudent for the
Town to adopt an ordinance based on those guidelines and to create a vacant and foreclosed
property registry. He stated that the draft ordinance that was included was prepared by the legal
team based on the guidelines in O.C.G.A. 44-14-14. If passed, staff would work on creating an
online registration process and working on enforcement. The registry would be helpful to staff
while enforcing, safety, or other issues with a property, it would also allow the Town to maintain
an up-to-date record of ownership and contact information.
Council Member Hill asked who would maintain that duty. Mr. Perkins stated that it would fall
under the Town Manager and Katherine Crouch, the Permit and Compliance Specialist. He added
that he would create an online registration process and Ms. Crouch would carry on the duties that
followed. The online registration would also allow citizens to report if the house next door was not
being maintained after the occupants were gone. With the online process, banks could also utilize
the information. There would be a learning curve for staff. They would also perform initial site
visits of abandoned properties. Council Member Hill asked for the reasoning behind the ordinance.
Mr. Perkins explained that in the past there have been abandoned properties and it could be a safety
concern. The county’s “Q-Public” tax information was not always up to date. Our goal would be,
if someone vacates their property, they would register with the Town so we would know who the
property owner was. If the property was not maintained, we would know who to contact and
records would be current.
Council Member Furr asked how did the registry benefit the Town? Mr. Perkins stated that it
would assist the Town in finding property owners. For instance, if there were squatters on the
property or an unkempt yard, the contact information would be readily available. Mayor Dial
inquired about the violation section where it indicated, “punishable by a fine of up to $1,000”. Mr.
Davenport stated that $1,000 was usually a cap for fines dealing with ordinances. The ceiling
would allow the Judge to use her discretion regarding the fine. Mr. Perkins stated that the Town’s
Judge did have a list of fines that she could set. If an officer made a charge and a bond was
necessary, they would have a list up to $1,000 they could fine. Council Member Furr asked if the
registry would include existing vacant and foreclosed properties. Mr. Perkins stated that yes, a list
would be compiled. Council Member Furr clarified that the owner of the property would need to
initially pay the Town $100 for the submission of the property. Council Member Campbell asked
how would the citizens be notified of the new registry, could it be included in their tax bills? Mr.
Perkins stated that the county issued the tax bills, however, the Town could use social media, an
email blast, and more.

Council Member Howard inquired if the property owner died and the house became vacant, how
did it work if there was no heir? Mr. Davenport stated that the “estate” would be the responsible
entity. Typically, someone would be identified working with the probate court. The house would
be a valuable asset that would make someone responsible. Council Member Hill stated that she
thought the concept was a good idea but, “was the juice worth the squeeze”? Mr. Perkins stated
that it would be less trouble initially than attempting to track down the property owner in a time
of need. He gave an example of two abandoned homes located on Spencer Lane where youths
were hanging out. The Town had to place a lean on the property. It would be less of a hassle with
the registry. Council Member Furr asked if any revenue was collected on the Spencer Lane
properties? Mr. Perkins stated that the issue dated back a while ago and was not properly followed
upon.
Council Member Campbell made a motion to approve the Ordinance enacting provisions on the
registration of vacant or foreclosed real property.
Council Member Furr seconded the motion. Motion was approved 4-0.
6. Consideration and approval of commemorative sign designs and placement. Brandon Perkins,
Town Manager.
Mr. Perkins stated that Council was sent three examples of commemorative signage and where
they would be placed. The first read, “In Memory of Our Fallen LCPL James Thomas Williams
KIA May 14, 1967, Gone but Never Forgotten”. It would be placed northbound on Senoia Road
in the area of Town Hall and Shamrock Park. The second read, “In Honor of Our Fallen PFC Roger
Darriel Thompson KIA May 17, 1967, Gone but Never Forgotten”. It would be placed Southbound
on Senoia Road in the area of the Mason Lodge and Tyrone Depot. The third read, “Home of NFL
Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson, Jr”. That sign would be placed at the north and south Hwy 74 town
limits. Mr. Perkins added that the signage aligned with GDOT regulations and the Calvin Johnson
sign was sent to them for their consideration. Once approved, GDOT would be in charge of the
placement.
Council Member Hill made a motion to approve the sign designs and placement.
Council Member Howard seconded the motion. Motion was approved 4-0.
IX. PUBLIC COMMENTS: The second public comment period is for any issue. Comments are
limited to three (3) minutes. Please state your name & address. Comments that require a response
may not be answered during this time. The Council or staff may respond at a later date.

Mr. Alvin Todd a River Crest subdivision resident and the HOA President spoke regarding public
hearing item number 3. He stated that the HOA members met via Zoom with Mr. Perkins and Mr.
Trocquet. He was under the assumption that Mr. Barrow’s purchase of the property was contingent
on the rezoning of the property from AR to C-2. Tonight, they withdrew their application but were
closing on the purchase of the property next week. He shared that he was a citizen of Tyrone and
thought it was important to have confidence in the leadership of the Town. He added that he also
spoke with Mr. Barrow and felt that it should have been handled differently. Do unto others, as
you would have them do unto you, treat people with respect. We need correct and clear
communication moving forward. He added that it was almost like something was going on behind
closed doors. One thing was being communicated and another was taking place, it was confusing.
I am a homeowner; we are not being included. He asked why his subdivision was not connected
to the cart paths; we pay tax dollars? We want our vote to be heard. He added that he had voted
for every Council Member on the board and ended by sharing, we want to be treated as citizens,
we are the Town of Tyrone.
Mr. Eric Woods a River Crest subdivision resident spoke next. He stated that every time he had
spoken at a meeting there was always an issue against the citizens along Hwy 74, the River Crest,
River Oaks, and Southampton subdivisions. Beginning fourteen years ago, there have been four
major issues, one being the River Crest subdivision requesting to be a gated community. It was
voted down by Council Member Gloria Furr and Council Member Linda Howard, which was
around 2007/2008. The reason why Council Member Furr gave was that she didn’t think that the
Town’s people would take too kindly of being shut out of River Crest. The next issue was regarding
a gun range being approved to be placed next to Publix at the Southampton subdivision. He added
that the residents along Hwy 74 came together again to speak out against it. The Councilwomen
along with the rest of Council voted to approve it. This led to residents along Hwy 74 suing the
Town. Another issue that affected residents along Hwy 74 was that the Town Council approved a
storage facility across from River Oaks. We all came to plead with Council not to allow it. The
only two Council Members that were there and still are, Council Members Furr and Howard. He
stated, here we are again with an issue that would affect the residents along Hwy 74. The
development would include three to four, 30,000 sq. ft. buildings.
Mr. Woods stated that in closing, Mr. Barrow stated at the last meeting that he was a homeowner
too and lived in Sharpsburg. Mr. Woods stated, “then build in Sharpsburg”. He wished to ask Mr.
Barrows why didn’t he build in Sharpsburg. We will all meet again because he withdrew his
request to rezone but that he planned to build a small city that would affect the homes along Hwy
74. He closed by saying that he hoped that Council would consider the 700 families that lived
along Hwy 74 and not let this happen again.

We are Tyronians, too and we pay taxes. He stated that there was a 100-acre tract of land four
miles down the road in Fairburn, in an industrial area where he could build his city.
Mayor Dial asked Council Member Furr and Howard if they wished to respond. Council Member
Furr stated that she did vote for the gun range and it was the biggest mistake of her life. Council
Member Howard clarified that she was not on Council in 2007/2008.
Mr. Brian Gray, a River Crest resident spoke. He posed the question to Mr. Barrow and Council,
when will we see a rendering and traffic study for the impact it would have on River Crest and
Hwy 74?
Ms. Jessica Whelan, a resident on Valleywood Road spoke. She stated that she attended the
meeting because of the rezoning from AR to Commercial zoning. She was glad to hear that Mr.
Barrow withdrew his application. She did not agree with the impact it would have on her neighbors.
She added that she avoided the commercial traffic along Hwy 74 tonight and traveled down
Palmetto Road instead.
Mr. Isiah Parnell, a resident of River Crest spoke. He asked for the criteria used for zoning changes
by Council. He asked if it was uncommon for people to make large investments without the
assurance of a zoning change? He heard the representative say that although the zoning was
withdrawn, they still planned to move forward with the purchase. He added that Mr. Barrow may
have felt that he would be successful with his zoning change. Mr. Parnell wanted clarity, did Mr.
Barrow know something that they did not?
Ms. Yolanda Woods, a River Crest resident spoke. She asked Council Member Furr to clarify why
she stated that she made a mistake in voting in favor of the gun range. Council Member Furr stated
that after the fact, she realized that she did not know what a gun range was. She added that she had
been listening to everyone around her and thought it was a simple building that one shoots guns in
and it was safe. She was not sure if it was safe or not and she was unable to sleep. She then thought,
what if I lived there, I would not want that. She added that she had been unhappy with her decision
ever since. Ms. Woods thanked her for her honesty. Ms. Woods added that what she was relaying,
please relate that feeling to the other board members regarding Mr. Barrow’s development. Ms.
Woods added that she had a problem viewing the rezoning signs and it was unclear as to what
parcel was being rezoned, it was confusing. She added to please reconsider the rezoning signage.
Council Member Furr agreed and asked Mr. Trocquet to research the issue, the signs were difficult
to read.

Mr. Marion Fleming, a River Crest resident spoke. He stated that he would like to see a rendering
of what Mr. Barrow planned to develop, and he was opposed to any commercial use of that space.
Mr. Rapheal Bollar, a River Crest resident spoke next. He thanked those that answered his email.
He shared the importance of not having commercial development in front of his neighborhood.
Would you want to live by that? He added that he had two small children, and added, we are your
neighbors. He had lived in Tyrone for five years and wished to stay for a long time. He stated
please consider the neighborhood when the developer returns, we do not want to feel like outsiders.
Please consider another property for the development.
Ms. Doctor Melanie Coleman Bowers, a resident of the River Crest subdivision spoke next. She
shared that she also spoke at the Planning Commission meeting the week before. She had been a
resident for seven years; she and her husband had a fourteen-year-old and a sixteen-year-old child.
She and her family had friends and neighbors within the neighborhood, it was something special.
We wish to maintain and protect our neighborhood. She shared that there were challenges such as
the rock quarry, everyone knows to expect drilling from the quarry every Wednesday afternoon.
She asked Council Member Furr to ride through her neighborhood while the children were getting
on the school bus, or visit when everyone was returning from work. She stated that there was no
traffic light to exit River Crest and that there was always noise coming from the rock quarry. There
was a buffer but you could still hear heavy equipment. Some of these things they knew before
building their homes. She asked Council to please think about the cumulative effect over time,
help protect them. Help make it a place that they want to stay and grow and others want to come
to. She added to please consider this moving forward.
Mr. Leconte Barsolino, a River Crest resident spoke. He shared that he thought the Town was two
to three miles square miles when it was thirteen square miles. His hope moving forward would be
that Council would want to include them. Tyrone was a town for families, not a gun range. He
shared that he had three children and was there to stay. He wished to be rooted and asked to
continue to include them. We are your neighbors. We are all town’s people; you are all human and
flawed. Please, moving forward do what is best for the Town and what is best for all of its people.
Mayor Dial stated that there would not be any back and forth, however, he requested that Mr.
Trocquet try to answer the questions that were brought forth. He also stated that staff would meet
with anyone regarding their questions, after the meeting.
Mr. Trocquet addressed Mr. Todd’s question, regarding the sale of the property is contingent on
the rezoning of the property.
Council Meeting – Social Distancing/YouTube Live
October 7, 2021
Page 8 of 13
With private property, it was the sole and exclusive right for someone to purchase property whether
it was rezoned or not. Mr. Barrow may move forward with the purchase regardless of the rezoning,
he had property owner rights.
Mr. Perkins gave an example. He asked was it normal for someone to come to Council for a
rezoning after the purchase of the property? He stated that it was normal, a couple of weeks ago
Council voted to deny a rezoning for a property on the south side of town that someone purchased.
They began work without considering the outcome of the rezoning. Mr. Perkins added that on the
HOA Zoom meeting he shared that it sounded like the buyer was trying to do the right thing by
coming to Council before the purchase of the property. Mr. Perkins did not know that Mr. Barrow
was moving forward with the sale, but that it was his right to do so.
Mr. Troquet addressed the question regarding traffic analysis and architectural renderings. Those
were required during stages of development. However, they were not always required. It was
usually required during the site plan, before construction. If requirements were not met, no permits
would be issued. Renderings would go before the Planning Commission to be approved, and traffic
studies would need to be performed by professional traffic engineers for the impact of the
development. Traffic circulation would also be a factor. All items must be met and approved
including environmental requirements before any land disturbance or any permits being issued.
Normally for a large rezoning, renderings and light traffic studies would be performed. He gave
the example of the Sandy Creek Corners mixed-use rezoning. Due to the size and scale of that
development, information was also required by the state. Mr. Trocquet stated that the Town could
not legally make the sale of property contingent on a rezoning.
Mr. Troquet answered the question, why have commercial along the Hwy 74 Corridor. He stated
that it was market-driven, within the Town’s Future Development Map, and the character area that
is laid within. It was appropriate for certain zoning classifications.
Mr. Trocquet stated that regarding the intersection of River Crest concerns, GDOT owned all rights
to what improvements were made along the Corridor. The Town was allowed to make suggestions;
however, Hwy 74 was entirely in their hands regarding all rules and requirements.
Council Member Hill asked if Mr. Barrow closed on the property as residential, could they still
build the church? Mr. Trocquet explained that the federal government did not allow municipalities
to deny any religious development. They would, however, have conditions set in place by the
Town that would need to be met.
Council Meeting – Social Distancing/YouTube Live
October 7, 2021
Page 9 of 13
If they chose to move forward with the church, renderings and a traffic study would need to be
submitted for the Planning Commission’s approval, along with the approval from Fayette County
Water, environmental, police, and fire. The restrictions along the corridor were pretty strict.
Mayor Dial thanked Mr. Trocquet and acknowledged that he had a pretty tough job and added that
he did great work.
A gentleman asked from the audience, asked if Mr. Trocquet would define a church. Mr. Trocquet
shared that within the zoning ordinance, a church was defined as a religious institution, typically
for assembly purposes with ancillary uses. The scope was narrow but pretty intuitive of what most
would define a church to be. He stated that he would look up the definition after the meeting for
those that wished to stay.
Council Member Campbell stated that it was important to note that the unoccupied properties were
already zoned. Mr. Trocquet stated that all had some type of zoning. Council Member Campbell
stated that if someone purchased property, they had the right to develop any use listed according
to what it was currently zoned. Mr. Trocquet agreed and added that there may be conditions already
set as well.
Mr. Perkins and Mr. Trocquet shared that they were told that the sound was not working properly
for those watching online.
Mr. Perkins asked Mr. Trocquet to elaborate on Council Member Campbell’s point. He added that
two parcels were already zoned OI and the other was AR. He asked if he would give examples of
uses and conditional uses that a property owner could currently develop without the Planning
Commission and Council’s approval. Mr. Trocquet stated that OI was Office Institutional and
conditional uses usually required additional buffers or soundproofing. OI would typically be
businesses such as medical offices, or architectural, as two examples. Some conditional uses would
be higher commerce, one may be an outdoor amphitheater which would require additional buffers.
Council Member Hill asked if River Crest began that way. Mr. Trocquet stated that he was under
the impression that River Crest began similarly to the Southampton development. It was a John
Wieland development that may have included commercial and residential. AR was the original
zoning; some was zoned Duplex. The OI was the one tract that could have been developed at one
time with offices. Mayor Dial asked if duplexes could be built within River Crest? Mr. Trocquet
shared that the River Crest subdivision was unique. It was zoned duplex with the condition it is
single-family residential. It also had sewer connectivity with conservation preservation in the rear
to accommodate several 110 ft. buffers for floodplain and buffers around the rock quarry.

X. STAFF COMMENTS
Mr. Perkins recognized Library Assistant, Cindy Ferrill for her twenty-fifth-year anniversary with
the Town. He also stated that Police Major, Van Brock had reached his thirty-sixth year and that
Mr. Perkins was going on twenty-three years.
Mr. Perkins shared that staff finally had enough applicants for staffing the Downtown
Development Authority (DDA). He would supply Council with their names and qualifications and
then work on the vetting process. He added that he was happy with the outcome and that he and
Mr. Trocquet had been working toward that goal all year.
Mr. Perkins stated that it was Mayor Dial’s Birthday on Sunday and presented him with a card
from staff and Council.
Ms. Baker informed Council that the meeting management system that was discussed during the
retreat and budget meetings would soon be live. Training would then take place for staff and
Council. Mr. Trocquet added that the public would benefit as well. Everyone would receive the
information as soon as it was published. Fayetteville used the program and it was running well.
Mr. Perkins asked everyone in attendance to subscribe to the Town’s email list on the Town’s
website, www.tyrone.org . He added that staff currently had at least 1,000 subscribers.
Mr. Perkins introduced Ms. Devon Boullion, the new Environmental Specialist. Ms. Boullion
shared with the audience that it was nice to see how much they cared for their community and that
she looked forward to working with everyone and it was a privilege to work for the Town.
XI. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Council Member Campbell informed everyone that the forty-sixth annual Founders Day took place
last weekend and that it was a great event. He thanked volunteers, staff, Ms. Brock, and Ms. Owens
for their hard work. He heard many positive comments.
Mayor Dial invited everyone to any Town event, please come and introduce yourselves. Tonight,
was a good example of how the events could be beneficial.
Mayor Dial then began a conversation regarding an issue that had arisen on Crabapple Lane, off
Farr Road and Dogwood Trail.
Council Meeting – Social Distancing/YouTube Live
October 7, 2021
Page 11 of 13
He shared that Crabapple was a nicely graveled road that traversed into Peachtree City and the
Kedron Hills subdivision from Tyrone. He added that there were not many golf carts going into
Kendron Hills from Tyrone. He stated that the residents from Kedron Hills had requested that
Peachtree City block the entrance of their subdivision from Tyrone residents entering. This would
be for automobiles and golf carts. Peachtree City was more concerned regarding golf cart traffic.
Peachtree City stated that they would be happy to oblige the Kedron Hills residents. Peachtree City
had made it evident to the residents that they would sell a portion of the road to the HOA closing
the entrance to Tyrone residents. He added that Peachtree City charged Tyrone residents $165 for
a golf cart decal to travel to and from Peachtree City and Tyrone. Tyrone charges Peachtree City
residents the same as Tyrone residents, $30. Mr. Perkins clarified that Peachtree City and Tyrone
once had a reciprocal agreement that Tyrone would honor Peachtree City stickers and vice versa.
Tyrone citizens could run freely to Kroger, visit friends or take their children to school. Tyrone
continued to honor theirs, Peachtree City no longer honored Tyrone stickers. Mayor Dial stated
that we welcome Peachtree City residents to come to Tyrone and shop and eat with friends. He
assured everyone that Council was on top of the situation within their capacity. He added that
Crabapple was essentially a county road. He stated that he had several phone conversations with
the administration and was called some very unfortunate names, it was unfortunate, it strikes a
nerve and it sends a message to our citizens. He stated, “it’s flat wrong”.
A woman from the audience asked if Mayor Dial could expand on their rationale. Mayor Dial
stated that he understood that they were responsible for the safety of their citizens regarding their
neighborhood pool. He added that Peachtree City was also really big on the golf cart path
maintenance costs. They have over one hundred miles of cart paths to maintain, and they were
always looking for ways to minimize the cost.
Council Member Hill stated that Peachtree City had allowed the southside of Fayette County
residents to utilize their paths and to add on. Mayor Dial shared that it was because they wanted a
path for their children to utilize for school. He added that the Town currently had a good
relationship with Peachtree City but, that was an issue that they could not fix.
Mayor Dial shared that if anyone had further questions, Council would be available for questions
after the Executive Session, to please stick around.
