He read aloud the list of parcels (a-cc). He explained that there were two portions to the public hearing. The first portion was for a rezoning of parcels from Office Institutional Conditional to Office Institutional. Mr. Trocquet stated that the purpose of the hearings would be for the rezoning of all properties located within the Market Hill Business Park. The Town-initiated rezonings were taking place in order to remove a condition of zoning placed on the properties in February 2003, whereby traffic improvements were required in order to construct on all lots. All properties would continue to be zoned as O-I or C-1, where applicable, and no conditions should be applied. Council Meeting December 20, 2018 Page 3 of 13 Mr. Trocquet stated that given the Market Hill Business Park was originally zoned in 2003 with a traffic condition requiring a secondary access curb cut be constructed on Market Road onto SR- 74. Until this traffic improvement was implemented, a construction moratorium was also put in place on fifteen of the thirty lots in the business park. Mr. Trocquet stated that since the establishment of the zoning condition, the Business Owner’s Association (BOA) had raised funds for the construction of the curb cut. Later, negotiations took place with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) to purchase access rights for a curb cut, but price feasibility became an issue. Mr. Trocquet added that the difficulties in negotiating a feasible option for the curb cut on SR-74 resulted in the commissioning of a professional traffic impact study of the development of the additional fifteen lots on which the construction moratorium had been applied. The traffic study showed no significant impact and recommended no major traffic improvements to the business park. Mr. Trocquet state that given the traffic study’s results, Council directed staff to make preparations for the removal of the zoning condition for an additional curb cut as well as the removal of the construction moratorium restriction. He added that the existing zoning consisted of C-1 and O-I, existing land use was Office Institutional, surrounding zoning and land use were, R-18 to the north, R-18 and Peachtree City Residential to the south. Zoning to the east was, SR-74, to the west was, R-12 and R-18. Mr. Trocquet informed Council that in regards to compatibility with the comprehensive plan and the future development map, the business park was consistent and compatible with both. Since the rezoning was simply the removal of a condition, the underlying zoning would remain the same, effectively keeping the existing development pattern of the Business Park the same. Mr. Trocquet stated that in regards to the compatibility with the zoning ordinance; there would be no change to the existing development standards, setbacks, or list of uses normally permitted in the O-I district or the C-1 district, in the case of 602 Dogwood Trail. The property owners of the fifteen lots on which the moratorium had applied, shall be permitted to construct on their properties consistent with the O-I zoning standards. He ended by stating that staff recommended approval and that the Planning Commission had denied the rezonings. Council Member Furr asked why 602 Dogwood Trial was zoned differently than the remaining properties. Mr. Trocquet stated that he believed 602 Dogwood Trail was developed prior to the office park and was zoned C-1. Prior to opening the public hearing, Mayor Dial gave private business owners that were in attendance, the opportunity to have their property taken from the list and discussed separately; no one came forward. Council Meeting December 20, 2018 Page 4 of 13 Mayor Dial opened the public hearing for anyone that wished to speak in favor of the first item (a-cc). Atlanta resident and Market Hill Business Owner Association (BOA) President, Chris Downing, spoke on behalf of the Market Hill, BOA. He stated that he was formerly a Fayette County resident for twenty-seven years and owns lot twenty-six in Market Hill. He thanked Council, staff, the former Town Manager and the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) for their support and for the Town requesting the rezoning. He briefed everyone regarding the reason for rezoning O-I Conditional to O-I. He stated that in 2003 the ordinance was placed to limit the lots from thirty to fifteen until a right-in, right-out was placed on Highway 74, or until other improvements were made on Greencastle Road and Dogwood Trail. Four lots were developed and currently there were nineteen lots. Eleven lots still remain undeveloped. He added that Town staff and the BOA had worked with GDOT in attempts to gain access onto Highway 74. A traffic study was acquired and the conclusion was that GDOT would never approve access from the business park onto Highway 74. Mr. Downing continued and stated that since 2003, there have been improvements to the entrance of the park, there is now a right-turn lane. The traffic study funded by the BOA, determined that no improvements would be needed for the complete park build-out. He ended by stating that at this point, there would be no reason not to have the condition removed in order for the owners to develop their property. He recommended approval. Mr. Marty Harbin, who lives on Ellison Road stated that he had two lots in the Market Hill business park that he has been paying taxes on, one of which he could not use. He added that the BOA met with GDOT in hopes that an exception would be made. The issue was that the Federal Government paid for the placement of Highway 74 and in order to obtain access, it would cost an additional six hundred thousand to one million dollars if we violated GDOT’s regulations. He recommended approval of the rezoning and added that the park was one of the nicest in the area. Ms. Kali Bhargave, who is a Peachtree City resident spoke next. She stated that the only reason they were not able to build was the traffic study. We did have an office on Greencastle and also bought a lot. She shared that she was a Real Estate Agent and that people usually flock to Peachtree City because it is a live/work community. She gave the example of a former Tyrone business moving to Peachtree City because they could not expand their business in Market Hill. Market Hill is one of the only upscale business parks in Tyrone. If Council holds back for just one reason, ten lots would not be developed. She added that she understood that the residents would not want the additional development, but these are our lots. She asked Council to please take that into consideration. Council Meeting December 20, 2018 Page 5 of 13 Ms. Ann Lively who lives in Hampton and is also a lot owner in Market Hill spoke next. She asked Council to consider removing the condition and echoed the previous reasons. She asked that the condition be removed. Dr. Maryann Atwell who lives in Peachtree City, owner of four lots, three of which were developed, spoke next. She echoed the request for consideration. She added that she was excited to be in the area coming from Montgomery Alabama in 2010. She stated that when they arrived, she had a staff of seven and now has twenty-three. She stated that the name of her business was the Association of State & Provincial Psychology Boards and that they work with all fifty states and also Canada. Her business works with licensed Psychologists throughout the nation. Dr. Atwell added that although they would not bring traffic, they would bring finance and staffing within the Tyrone community. She asked Council to consider recommending the item. Mr. Brandon Jordan who lives in Fayette County and is a property owner in Market Hill spoke next. He stated that he purchased in the business park with the intent to expand. He added that he was a Financial Advisor and did not expect that the area would remain stagnant. He ended by stating that there was a lot of positive business action in Tyrone and that he would like for it to continue. Mayor Dial then opened the public hearing for anyone that wished to speak in opposition of the rezoning. Ms. Nancy Nebergall who lives on Meadowood Lane spoke in opposition. She distributed a map to Council showing the individual business parcels in Market Hill. Ms. Nebergall stated that she had lived in Tyrone for thirty years. She explained that when she spoke regarding properties, the properties were numbered on the map. She began by stating that her subdivision (Meadowood Farms) predated the business park and that the park was a higher elevation than the subdivision. She explained, (referring to the map) where the water began to flow from the west-side, it runs through a tunnel under the road, comes out on the east side of Meadowood Lane behind the houses on the east-side of Meadowood Lane and forms into a gully washing into a cul-de-sac. She added that a sink hole had developed at the end of the cul-de-sac. The water flowed from the Market Hill business park area. Ms. Nebergall continued and added that there was also run-off coming from the west-side near the daycare center. She stated that there were public safety concerns. She shared that according to a GDOT traffic study from 2016 to 2017, there was an increase of traffic onto Senoia Road coming from the new McDuff Parkway entrance. The increase was 3% to 14%. She added that these conditions were initially put in place to protect their property values and quality of life. Ms. Nebergall stated that there was supposed to be a sixty-foot buffer in place to protect the residents and it did not exist. Council Meeting December 20, 2018 Page 6 of 13 The fence was placed in order to protect the children and pets from foot traffic from the businesses. We are concerned about the lack of code enforcement. She ended by asking, “What is our guarantee that our property values will be protected”? Mr. and Mrs. Iffland who live on Meadowood Lane, at the end of the cul-de-sac, spoke next. Mr. Iffland stated that he had been dealing with the Town regarding water run-off for some time with no head-way. The amount of water that comes from the top of the road is almost too much for the detention pond. We have had the problem ever since the home development and the business park were built. Mr. Iffland stated that he wondered why the Town requested the rezoning. He added that he did not have any problem with the business owners building but the issues needed to be dealt with. He had repaired the fence several times himself. He added that the variance buffer needed to be seventy-five feet and in some areas it was visible. He added, we are just asking for consideration of the run-off and repairs. Everything has built-up around us. He mentioned a letter from the Town in the early 90’s regarding an oversite of a variance. He ended by asking Council to please deal with the current issues. Mayor Dial asked Mr. Iffland if the fence was on his property or Market Hill’s. Mr. Iffland replied that the fence was established by Market Hill, from Dogwood to the end. Mayor Dial asked what damaged the fence. Mr. Iffland replied that it was damaged by fallen trees, is was poorly constructed and also an abundant amount of pine straw hindered the fence. Mayor Dial asked if they had reached out to the BOA. Mr. Iffland stated that he was told that the same people were not there and that he was not aware there was a current BOA. Mrs. Iffland stated that they had initially attended all of the meetings to assure the fence was built to protect people from entering into their back yard. The buffer was important as well. Mayor Dial asked that they speak with the BOA prior to leaving the meeting. Ms. Rachel Sharp who lives on Meadowood Lane spoke next. She echoed what the Iffland’s stated. She stated that they wanted the businesses to build, but added that she also had a river running through her yard. She shared a picture (not for record) of her backyard and a sink hole. She ended by stating that the Town recently placed rock on the side of Meadowood Lane which did not assist with the water run-off. Mayor Dial stated that the rocks were placed in the right-of-way which was on the Town’s property and not private property. Council Member Howard asked Mr. Trocquet to clarify as to the reason why the Town requested the rezoning and not the BOA. Mr. Trocquet stated that the Town initially placed the condition on the property and since then, there have been attempts to rectify reasons for the condition. Council Meeting December 20, 2018 Page 7 of 13 He added that now the Town is at a point that we can remove the condition. Mr. Davenport stated that the traffic study was the justification needed for the perceived need for road improvements or right-in, right-out, placed in 2003. Council Member Howard shared her concerns regarding the water run-off issues. She asked if the buffer was in place between the office park and sub division. Mr. Trocquet stated that he would have to investigate the buffer on a lot by lot basis in regards to maintenance. There was a seventy- five-foot setback; there was not always a buffer requirement between commercial and residential. Mr. Downing came back to the podium and stated that he understood that there was a sixty-foot buffer, which had been maintained with the exception of lot number one. He added that the daycare did have a maintained fence. He stated that that buffer between Highway 74 and the office park was intact. Moving forward, some lots would need to be cleared in order to be developed; however, the sixty-foot buffer would need to be maintained. He ended by stating that the fence in need of repair would be researched and repaired. Council Member Furr made a motion to rezone the parcels mentioned from Office Institutional (O-I) Conditional to Office Institutional (O-I). Council Member Matthews seconded the motion. Motion was approved 3-0. 2. A consideration to rezone the following property from Downtown Commercial (C-1) Conditional to Downtown Commercial (C-1). a. 2.63 -acre parcel located at 602 Dogwood Trail, Tax Parcel ID # 0736061 Mayor Dial opened the public hearing for anyone that wished to speak in favor of the rezoning. Mr. Chris Downing stated that 602 Dogwood Trail was not officially part of the BOA; however, on behalf of the BOA, he recommended approval due to continuity of the entire development. Mayor Dial opened the public hearing for anyone that wished to speak in opposition of the item. No one spoke. Council Member Howard asked for clarification on the condition since there was a structure in place. Mr. Trocquet explained that the condition was placed on the entire development. The conditions applied to all thirty lots; essentially the public hearing was for efficiency. Council Member Matthews made a motion to rezone 602 Dogwood Trail from Downtown Commercial (C-1) Conditional to Downtown Commercial (C-1) Council Member Howard seconded the motion. Motion was approved 3-0. Council Meeting December 20, 2018 Page 8 of 13  Mayor Dial suggested that staff work with the BOA and the home owners to address the drainage and aesthetic issues. Old Business: 3. Consideration for the approval of a Memorandum of Agreement and $5,500 local match for the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC), Community Development Assistance Program (CDAP). Phillip Trocquet, Planning & Development Coordinator Mr. Trocquet gave an overview of the item. He stated that the Atlanta Regional Commission’s (ARC), Community Development Assistance Program (CDAP) was that of which awarded communities with professional planning in areas of economic development and stormwater management and usually requires the municipality to match funds. This would reduce the cost greatly for services such as these. He added that ARC provided the Town a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) as well as a scope of work. The adoption of the MOA and scope of work would not hold Council to adopting the results of the program. The deliverables of the CDAP program would propose ordinance changes, but would not be binding unless Council adopts. Mr. Trocquet added that the Planning & Zoning Department applied for the CDAP and was awarded in May. The original scope of the project was an ordinance audit to clean up inconsistencies with broad areas of the zoning ordinance. He added that since ARC helped develop the Town’s Comp Plan, they wished to narrow the scope of work to focus on ordinance updates as it pertained to the Town Center District (downtown) as it was listed as an area “most in need of change” by Tyrone citizens. Mr. Trocquet shared three main highlights from the MOA: 1) analyze existing conditions of the Town Center District (TCD), 2) draft proposed new Zoning District or Ordinance Updates and 3) prepare an adoptable ordinance. He stated that the main driving force for the program would be the steering committee. This committee would consist of members of Council, business owners, property owners and TCD residents. He added that there would be several opportunities for public input. Mr. Trocquet recommended approval and stated that Planning & Zoning had budgeted $6,000 for Technical Services and the local match for the program was $5,500. He added that similar services from a private consultant could cost the Town tens of thousands more. This was a great opportunity for the Town to further the goals of the comprehensive plan and to involve the community in a visioning exercise. He added that this would further define the needs and desires for the Town Center District. Council Member Matthews made a motion to approve the Memorandum of Agreement and $5,500 local match for the Atlanta Regional Commission’s, Community Development Assistance Program. Council Member Howard seconded the motion. Motion was approved 3-0. Council Meeting December 20, 2018 Page 9 of 13 New Business: 4. Consideration for approval of FY 2017/2018 Budget Amendment. Sandy Beach, Finance Manager Ms. Beach stated that the Finance Department was just finishing up the 2017-2018 fiscal year budget and needed to clean up some items. She added that the good news was that the Town came in just over $56,000 last year, despite the fact that the Town had two major land purchases. She added that monies needed to be moved between several departments and recommended approval of the budget amendment. Council Member Howard made a motion to approve the FY 2017/2018 Budget Amendment as presented in the supporting documents provided by staff. Council Member Furr seconded the motion. Motion was approved 3-0. 5. Consideration to approve the purchase of two supplementary sewer pumps. Scott Langford, Engineer/Public Works Director Mr. Langford stated that the Town had a unique opportunity to obtain two spare sewer pumps as needed in the future. He added that in regards to information submitted a few weeks ago; originally, the two pumps were set to be 330 milliliters, one of the Town’s pumps were measured at 280 milliliters, which was what Pro Pump Solutions, Inc. currently had in stock. One pump could currently fit in pump station number one, the other at pump station number three. This would save the Town approximately $6,000. He added that a recent evaluation of the pump stations showed that a rail system was failing at pump station number one. He added that a controller that assists with identifying pump seals, as an example, needed replacing as well. He stated that the two pumps were no longer manufactured and the new pumps usually last six to eight years. The old pumps that were currently in place were from Flygt and had been in place for fifteen years; these are very good pipes. Mr. Langford informed Council of another item in need of repair; an isolation block (electrical power - mini cass) needed to be repaired for safety purposes. He recommended replacing the pumps since one had the potential of a broken seal. He added that by replacing them with new ones, the current pumps could be a replacement in the case of an emergency. He informed Council that all aforementioned repairs and replacements would normally cost $7,300. However, after speaking with Pro Pump Solutions, Inc. he convinced them to increase the six-month warranty to a one-year warranty and all costs would not exceed $45,000. Council Member Furr asked which pumps would be replaced. Mr. Langford stated that pumps number one and two would be replaced. Council Meeting December 20, 2018 Page 10 of 13 Council Member Furr asked if pump number three had the electrical pump. Mr. Langford confirmed that pump station number three needed the electrical repair. Council Member Howard asked who inspected the pump stations. Mr. Langford stated that private companies perform inspections. The first plan would be to replace the mini cass in order to identify if seals were broken and were in need of repair. When the two pumps are pulled out for replacement, if one was weak and the other strong, we could pull the impeller off one and place on the other. Council Member Furr asked how long the process would take. Mr. Langford stated that the entire process for two pumps would take approximately two days and it would not would not affect sewer flow. Mayor Dial stated that since the Peachtree City Water and Sewer Authority charged triple the amount for performing half the work in the middle of the budget season, would they assist in the process? Mr. Langford stated no, they would not be a part of the process and it would cost. Council Member Furr asked if the cost would be taken from the Sewer Fund. Mr. Langford stated, yes. Council Member Furr made a motion to approve the purchase of two pumps at $45,000 to have as spares and to start pump rotation for routine maintenance. Council Member Howard seconded the motion. Motion was approved 3-0. Public Comments Mr. Iffland stated that since Mayor Dial had been in his position, he had seen a lot of improvements in the Town; such as the signs coming into the Town on Highway 74. He added that he trusts that something would be done regarding his neighborhood drainage issue. Mayor Dial stated that it was a group effort and that if anyone had eaten Hannah Brothers food, Mr. Iffland probably prepared it. Staff Comments Mr. David Jaeger from Mallet Consulting, Inc. stated on behalf of his firm, thank you for approving another year to serve the Town. It had been twelve enjoyable years and he looked forward to more. Mayor Dial replied, “McLovin, we are grateful for all that you do,” the audience responded in laughter. Mr. Trocquet relayed to everyone regarding the Market Hill business park; every new development goes through a very thorough site plan process with a Technical Review Committee. He assured everyone that the committee was very diligent in its review and would review every lot in the business park as it was developed. He added that the Planning Commissioners reviewed site plans as well to ensure standards and buffers were met. Council Meeting December 20, 2018 Page 11 of 13 Mr. Perkins thanked Council Member Furr and Matthews and Ms. Beach for their time in interviewing for the Chief of Police position. He looked forward to working with Chief Mundy. He then wished everyone a Merry Christmas. Interim Chief, Eric DeLoose thanked Mayor and Council for the opportunity as Interim Chief. He added that it was an eye-opener and he shared how much he missed being “on the road”. He stated that it was a great experience and he had a great staff and thanked Mr. Perkins for leaving the department in great shape. He also thanked Ms. Spradlin for her assistance during that time. Ms. Spradlin stated that she had been with the Town for ten years on January 21st. She thanked Mr. Perkins for everything that he did for her; training, dedication and loyalty to the department. She added that Interim Chief DeLoose did a great job; Mr. Perkins trained him well. She looked forward to working with Chief Mundy. She thanked Mayor and Council for their support and Public Safety Clerk, Cassandra Barksdale for her hard-work and she looked forward to 2019. Council Comments Council Members wished everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Mr. Davenport thanked Mayor and Council for re-appointing his firm for 2019. He shared that he has had the pleasure of working with Mr. Jaeger for over twenty-five years along-side several government entities.
