Under

and
justice
for
all
Mrs
Wilson,
please
bow
for
prayer,
gracious
and
merciful

This
new
year
is
unfolding
before
us
life
like
a
fresh
sheet
of
paper.
It
is
both
exciting
and
frightening.
During
this
new
year
we
pray,
you
will
help
us
see
others
more
clearly,
as
your
gift
help
us
hear
others
more
willingly,
because
they
may
be
your
Messengers
help.
Us
share
your
love
more
freely
because
sharing
your
love
never
diminishes
it.
Causes
it
to
grow.

Motion
is,
second,
all
in
favor,
say:
aye,
aye
opposed
name.
All
members
voted
for
the
notion
begin
tonight's
meeting.
We
have
three
presentations
from
guests
and
visitors,
beginning
with
the
Canton
Transportation
Master
Plan,
update
presentation
from
Modern
Mobility
partners
with
our
project
matter,
manager,
Chris
and
moat
good,
to
see
you
Kristen.
E
Good
evening,
mayor
and
Council
good
evening,
I
am
honored
to
be
here
tonight
to
give
my
final
presentation
on
the
master,
Transportation
plan
and
I
just
want
to
say
what
an
honor
and
a
privilege
it
has
been
to
partner
with
City
and
Council
and
Canton
City
staff.
We've
been
working
on
this
for
a
year
now,
I
have
not
had
a
project
that
has
gone
more
smooth
with
a
great
partnership
with
City
staff,
great
input
from
stakeholders
in
the
public
and
just
really
proud
of
of
what
this
has
come
to
and
I
hope.
E
So
tonight,
I
just
want
to
kind
of
walk
through
the
highlights
of
the
final
report.
There
are
printed
copies
that
are
floating
around
city
hall
and
Bethany
has
copies
of
those.
If
you
do
want
to
see
a
printed
copy,
there's
also
electronic
version
that
you
can
review
so
I
was
just
going
to
go
over
the
highlights
and
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
have
at
the
end.
E
So
the
final
report
is
broken
down
into
these
sections,
so
we
start
with
existing
conditions.
We
talk
about
the
community
engagement
that
we
did.
The
current
and
future
needs
process
that
we
went
through
into
the
project,
identification
and
prioritization
and
finally,
the
final
recommendations.
This
also
has
an
appendix
that's
associated
with
it
that
has
some
concept
drawings
and
some
more
details
about
some
of
those
highly
prioritized
projects.
E
So
we
started
off
with
this
process
identifying
goals
and
objectives
of
this
study.
We
vetted
those
with
the
stakeholders
and
you
can
see
on
the
slide
the
three
categories
that
were
highly
prioritized
by
the
stakeholder
group,
but
all
of
these
were
taken
into
consideration
when
we
evaluated
and
prioritize
the
project.
E
The
second
section
of
the
final
report
is
the
existing
conditions.
We
did
several
different
types
of
analyzes.
This
is
just
one
example
of
one
page
from
the
final
report,
which
is
a
demographic
analysis.
We
also
reviewed
several
plans
that
have
already
been
completed
in
the
area
we
looked
at
land
use
and
Zoning.
We
looked
at
Transportation
networks,
we
reviewed
the
Cherokee
County
CTP
as
a
part
of
this
and
integrated
recommendations
from
that
study
into
this
study,
since
they
were
going
on
concurrently,
as
well
as
the
Old
Highway
5
study,.
E
Foreign,
then
we
went
into
community
and
stakeholder
engagement,
so
we
had
several
opportunities
for
stakeholders
in
the
community
to
provide
input,
including
a
Wiki
map,
which
is
an
online
mapping
platform
where
people
could
provide
input
into
concerns,
issues
opportunities
that
they
saw
throughout
the
throughout
the
city.
We
also
held
two
public
meetings
right
here
in
this
room
throughout
the
study
process
in
which
I
provided
Council
briefings
after
those
public
meetings,
and
then
we
had
a
series
of
stakeholder
meetings
that
we
conducted
virtually.
So
you
can
see
on
the
screen.
E
E
We
started
to
take
all
this
information,
the
existing
conditions,
the
future
Trends,
the
input
that
we
were
receiving
from
the
stakeholders
and
the
public
and
put
together
what
are
the
needs
across
the
city
and
we
categorized
them
into
three
areas:
livability
needs
economic,
meaning.
How
are
we
transporting
goods,
those
types
of
needs
and
the
actual
transportation
system?
E
E
I
showed
this
slide
to
you
during
our
last
update,
but
there
are
several
project
categories
and
the
number
of
projects
that
fall
within
each
of
those
categories
is
Illustrated
on
this
Slide.
The
category
with
the
most
number
of
projects
is
bicycle
and
pedestrian.
We
heard
that
very
strongly
from
the
stakeholders
from
the
public,
especially
the
desire
to
have
more
bicycle
and
pedestrian
friendly
networks
through
Trails,
through
sidewalk
extensions
through
pedestrian
Crossings
Follow
That
by
some
operational
improvements,
so
intersection
improvements,
speed
reduction
measures,
things
of
that
sort.
E
And
then
that's
pretty
much
the
end
of
my
presentation
tonight
again.
I
just
wanted
to
walk
you
through
the
organization
of
the
final
report
in
the
report.
It
has
details
of
every
project
recommendation,
including
estimated
costs.
They
are
prioritized
based
on
the
evaluation
we
did
with
how
well
they
align
with
the
goals
and
objectives
of
this
study,
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
I
will
be
happy
to
answer
them.
At
this
point,.
G
A
Mayor
I
would
make
a
comment
that,
on
the
city's
website
under
the
engineering
tab
is
the
link
to
the
full
report.
Several
hundred
Pages,
we
didn't
include
all
of
it
just
in
case
somebody
hit
the
print
button
on
the
city
agenda
tonight
and
blew
up
their
house
from
from
all
the
paper
going
through,
but
it
is
online
and
it
is
available
on
the
city's
City's
website.
I.
E
G
H
H
So
currently,
right
now
the
project
status.
We
received
all
the
meters
for
the
Ami
project
change
out.
As
of
1110
with
our
installer.
We
plan
to
begin
installs
in
mid-February
we're
working
with
Nathan
Mr
Ingram
to
get
that
done.
The
other
areas
we're
working
on
right
now
are
the
gateways
we're
still
confirming
all
of
the
final
sites
going
through.
That
process
were
expected
for
the
gateways
to
start
shipping
in
late
January.
We
have
the
infrastructure
for
the
polls.
They
are
also
coming
in
in
mid-January.
H
H
I'm
going
to
let
Kendra
our
project
manager
with
Neptune,
she
does
a
lot
with
the
propagation
studies
to
go
over
some
of
the
gateway
locations.
We've
talked
about
some
areas.
We
may
be
able
to
remove
one
without
loss
of
a
lot
of
coverage,
so
I'm
going
to
let
her
take
over.
I
Prop
studies
and
how
we
chose
the
sites
that
we
did
choose
to
put
these
gateways
for
reading
the
meters.
Here
we
have
10
sites.
Four
of
those
sites
were
tank
locations,
so
the
gateways
will
go.
The
base
of
the
tank
you'll
run
the
antenna
to
the
top
and
it'll
just
be
listening
for
the
meters.
We
use
a
prop
study
to
plot
out
and
show
projection
of
the
coverage
that
you
could
expect
to
get
once
the
system
is
fully
deployed
and
I
believe
if
I'm
wrong,
we
were
looking
for
90
billing.
I
I
It's
an
elaborate
software
I
won't
go
into
full
details,
but
they
plot
Out
locations
on
this
software
and
they
come
up
with
six
locations
using
a
default
height,
and
then
a
team
of
us
actually
come
on
site.
We
do
surveys,
we
find
these
locations
or
nearby
to
give
us
the
best
place,
to
set
up
these
polls
and
to
set
up
the
gateways
for
reading,
and
so,
as
you
can
see
here,
the
projected
coverage
with
the
10.
So
that's
four
tanks
and
six
fiberglass
pole
sites
we're
looking
at
90
percent
90
daily
projection.
I
That
means
you
should
get
a
read
from
90
of
your
meters
every
day
and
then
the
billing
billing,
a
72-hour,
read
so
from
those
10.
You
would
expect
94
because
now
you're
expanding
your
coverage
a
little
bit
every
72
hours
and
then,
as
Michael
mentioned,
we
did
remove
one
site
to
see
how
it
would
affect
the
coverage.
So
if
you
were
to
drop
the
nine
you're
only
losing
about
a
percent
of
coverage,
if
we're
unable
to
put
up
that
10th
site
so.
I
And
so
this
is
just
a
map
showing
the
projection
coverage.
This
first
one
here
has
all
10
gateways.
So
what
you're?
Looking
at
the
blue
specs
there
are
represent
the
meters.
Basically
your
water
meters,
the
green,
if
you
think
of
as
like
a
Verizon
coverage
map,
that's
kind
of
what
you're
looking
at.
I
So
if
it's
covered
by
the
green
you're
projected
to
get
a
read
and
if
it's
outside
of
the
agreement,
it's
not
necessarily
that
you
won't
get
it
just,
may
not
be
consistent
that
everyday
billing,
or
that
every
that
everyday,
daily
read
or
that
three-day
billing
read.
So
you
could
still
get
it
theoretically,
but
the
green
is
what
we
project,
and
so
this
map
here
shows
with
the
10
gateways.
I
And
then
here
is
map
nine.
You
can
see
I,
don't
know
if
you
noticed,
but
we
removed
one
at
the
bottom
south
side
of
the
coverage
area
and
again
you
may
have
lost
the
percentage
and
those
blue
dots
that
it
might
have
been
covering
again.
It
still
may
get
those
with
the
nine
just,
maybe
not
as
consistent.
I
So
again,
if
we're
unable
to
use
that
10
site
with
a
nine,
it's,
we
don't
lose
a
lot
as
far
as
coverage
goes,
and
so
here's
just
aerial
pictures
of
the
locations,
these
first,
two
or
four
that
we're
going
to
show
are
the
tanks.
So
these
are
your
assets
that
we
are
going
to
put
a
Gateway
at
each
of
these,
so
you've
got
great
Scott
tank,
Ridge,
Pine
tank,
Big,
Oak
and
Brian
tank
and
then
the
next
six
here
are
the
what
I
call
the
fine
locations
again.
I
Our
prop
team
that
yellow
map
that
you
just
saw
our
prop
team,
put
pins
on
the
map,
and
then
we
went
out
in
the
field
physically
near
those
locations
pretty
nearby
and
found
good
locations.
You
know
you
don't
want
to
be
right
in
front
of
somebody's
house.
You
know
the
pin
may
have
it
in
the
middle
of
the
road.
So
of
course
you
can't
be
there,
so
you
have
to
find
somewhere
nearby
that'll
still
get
you
pretty
good
coverage
and
we
re-run
the
study.
So
we
for
the
prop
team
did
the
fines.
I
We
go
on
the
field
and
then
we
do
another.
Prop
using
the
locations
that
we
spotted
in
the
field,
so
that's
what
we
were
looking
at
there,
so
we
got
Mountain.
Just
the
road
Marietta
Highway
I
believe
is
we're
moving
Cottonwood
Creek
and
we
found
this
location
here,
and
this
is
the
Tiff
that
may
or
may
not
be
used.
So,
but
it's
there
if
we
need
it
and
if
we
can
use
it
otherwise,
we'll
go
with
the
knot.
I
A
Ami,
basically,
is
cellular
data
coming
directly
from
the
water
meter,
so
it
allows
us
to
get
a
daily
reading
and
it
also
would
allow
us
to
help
with
things
like
when
a
new
customer
needs
to
cut
what
our
own
or
cut
water
off.
We
can
get
those
readings
immediately.
We
can
watch
for
leaks
with
that
daily
information
right
now.
A
We
do
monthly
readings,
and
so
you
may
end
up
with
a
leak
on
a
property
that
goes
for
a
couple
of
weeks
before
it's
caught,
which
can
be
an
issue
for
the
property
owner
and
an
issue
for
the
city
in
Lost
water.
So
this
technology
will
help
us
with
that
process
of
getting
that
information
more
quickly
for
the
customer
and
for
the
city.
So
right
now
we
have
two
individuals
that
do
drive
around
meter
readings
across
the
city.
A
We'll
still
have
to
do
some
drive
around
because,
as
you
said,
there's
10
to
11
percent
that
won't
be
caught
under
this
under
this
process.
But
if
we
have
less
time
in
the
field,
we'll
we'll
have
someone
in-house
that
can
be
looking
at
those
data
as
it
comes
in
on
a
daily
basis,
and
if
we
see
something
that
appears
like
a
large
use
at
one
time,
we
can
Now
notify
the
customer
and
say
Hey.
You
may
have
a
leak,
you
might
have
a
running
toilet
or
you
may
have
you're
out
of
town.
A
You
might
want
to
get
somebody
to
check
on.
It
seems
like
there
might
be
an
issue
at
your
home
kind
of
deal,
and
so
it's
good
information
for
us.
What
what
we
did
ask
them
to
do
when
we
looked
at
these
sites
that
are
not
on
City
tanks
is
identify
sites
that
could
be
in
common
areas
of
neighborhoods,
as
opposed
to
in
in
a
in
a
residential
yard
or
near
a
residential
yard.
A
I
think
there's
an
area
up
in
in
Laurel
Canyon,
that's
actually
on
property
that
the
building
authority
owns
that's
related
to
the
golf
course.
So
we
tried
to
find
locations
where
these
could
go.
That
would
be
less
obtrusive
to
a
homeowner
or
a
property
owner,
but
still
get
us.
The
same
level
of
data
that
we
need
to
to
make
the
process
work
so
so.
H
I
H
G
J
G
K
J
Be
here
good
evening,
mayor
and
Council
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
here
to
give
you
an
update
on
the
Cherokee
County,
History,
Center
and
I
know.
We
were
so
referred
to
by
our
old
name,
which
was
a
Cherokee
County
Historical
Society.
J
I
know,
you've
long
been
aware
of
the
historical
society's
wish
to
open
a
County,
History
Museum
and
in
fact
you
guys
gave
us
a
boost
in
that
journey
by
selling
us
the
former
Canton
Police
Department
building.
So
thanks
to
you,
the
Cherokee
County
government
and
many
other
donors,
we
were
able
to
open
our
doors
on
November
5th.
J
Many
of
you
were
there
to
help
us
celebrate
our
opening,
but
some
of
you,
weren't
I,
wanted
to
share
some
of
our
photos
from
those
days.
The
photos
on
the
first
slider
from
our
ribbon
cutting
donor
event
and
our
Heyday
family
celebration.
J
The
Heyday
event
was
our
first
day
open
to
the
public
and
coincided
with
free
admission
provided
by
Canton
tourism.
We've
welcomed
over
600
people
to
the
History
Center
during
the
past
two
months
from
our
events-
and
you
know
it's
our
goal
to
be
a
true
Community
partner
through
the
History
Center
itself.
J
You'll
see
from
the
photo
at
the
bottom
left
that
we
do
have
a
large
meeting
space,
the
Ken
White
Hall,
where
we
can
accommodate
up
to
100
people.
We've
been
in
talks
with
Belinda
to
use
it
during
the
upcoming
Main
Street
conference,
and
we
also
have
a
full
retail
store,
which
you
see
from
the
top
right
photo
and
have
been
participating
in
the
Main
Street
downtown
shopping
events.
J
This
slide
gives
you
a
sense
of
some
of
the
exhibits
and
the
space
itself
city
of
can
is
well
represented.
With
the
Jones
Mercantile
wagon,
the
cotton
mill
exhibit
and
the
mini
Canton
theater.
We
have
Howell's
drive-in
theater
on
the
other
side,
which
was
also
also
in
Canton.
We've
contributed
to
the
public
Arts
initiative
by
incorporating
three
metal
sculptures
adjacent
to
Brown
Park,
and
you
can
see
those
on
the
bottom
left.
J
J
And,
of
course,
all
of
this
comes
with
a
price
tag.
The
overall
cost
of
the
project
came
to
around
4.6
million
covet,
hit
us
hard
and
certainly
caused
a
price
to
increase
due
to
labor
and
we're
not
quite
done.
We
do
have
an
outdoor
exhibit
to
finish,
and
some
of
our
low-tech
interactive
still
on
the
components
on
the
inside.
So
I
had
a
few
reasons
for
coming
here
this
evening.
The
first
was
to
give
you
an
update
on
the
project
and,
most
importantly,
to
thank
you
for
helping
making
this
project
a
reality.
J
We're
finding
out
it's
an
expensive
building
to
maintain,
which
you
guys
probably
know
very
well
so
I'd
respectfully
ask
Council
to
consider
abatement
of
the
building
and
permit
fees
that
we
paid
in
exchange
for
our
investment
in
the
project
we
paid
eleven
thousand
three
hundred
and
seventy
nine
dollars
in
fees
and
I
have
supplied
those
receipts
to
Mr,
Ingram
and
I
understand
that
he
can
share
those
with
you
as
well.
J
So
in
closing
and
on
behalf
of
the
board
of
directors,
please
accept
our
heartfelt
appreciation
for
the
assistance
that
we
received
from
the
City
of
Canton.
During
the
planning
and
construction
of
the
History
Center,
we
look
forward
to
the
partnership
opportunities
ahead
and
are
excited
to
contribute
to
downtown
camp.
You.
G
Thank
you,
Mr
Warner
I
know:
I
speak
on
behalf
of
everyone
on
Council
how
extremely
proud,
We,
Are,
The,
History
Center
and
of
History
Cherokee,
and
the
great
job
you're
doing.
If
you
haven't
been
to
the
museum
or
the
History
Center
I
urge
you
to
do
it.
It's
an
amazing
facility,
we're
very,
very
happy
to
have
it
here
in
Downtown
Canton,
and
it's
going
to
be
a
regional
Regional
draw
of
people
here
to
celebrate
our
history,
so
very
very
pleased
to
have
that
and
pleased
to
be
a
partner.
G
A
Yes,
Mr
Mayor,
thank
you
and
and
welcome
to
everyone
who's
here
tonight.
We
appreciate
you
attending
this
public
hearing.
We
do
have
one
hearing
tonight
that
involves
four
four
cases.
These
hearings
are
recorded
verbatim.
They
become
part
of
a
legal
record
of
the
case
being
discussed
and
as
such,
you're
required
to
sign
up
and
fill
out
an
affidavit
to
speak
during
the
public
hearing
process.
The
clerk
has
already
taken
that
information
and
provided
it
to
the
mayor.
A
The
public
hearing
was
advertised
in
the
legal
organ
noticed
to
neighboring
Property
Owners
under
the
development
code,
VIA
mail
and
notice,
the
public
at
large,
via
yellow
public
notice,
signs
at
the
property
or
properties
that
are
part
of
the
case.
The
hearing
will
begin
with
the
Declaration
of
the
mayor
to
open
the
public
hearing,
which
will
include
the
case
numbers
description
of
the
case
and
a
summary
by
staff.
Those
wishing
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
applicant,
including
the
applicant,
will
be
given
the
first
opportunity
to
speak.
A
They
have
10
minutes
in
total
to
speak
on
half
their
position.
Those
in
opposition
will
then
be
given
a
total
of
10
minutes
to
speak
on
behalf
of
their
position,
those
in

May,
Reserve
time
to
rebut
or
comment
on
any
opposition
statements.
Once
all
parties
have
spoken
or
the
total
time
for
each
side
has
expired.
The
mayor
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
at
that
time
the
city
council
will
be
free
to
discuss
the
case
and
question
staff
about
the
case
in
the
interest
of
all
parties
and
to
give
fairness
to
both
sides.
A
I'll
be
the
time
keeper
for
each
side.
As
there
may
be
several
speakers,
we
ask
that
you
keep
your
comments,
concise
and
try
not
to
duplicate
the
comments
of
other
speakers.
Please
give
your
name
and
address
for
the
record
before
you
start
your
comments.
Please
address
your
comments
to
the
council.
The
audience
is
always
asked
to
maintain
decorum
during
these
proceedings.
A
The
hearing
process
is
a
monologue,
so
when
you're
speaking
to
council
you're
just
giving
comments
after
the
public
hearing
is
closed,
the
Marion
Council
can
then
talk
about
anything.
That's
been
brought
up
during
the
discussion,
but
Council
will
not
be
addressing
comments
during
the
actual
presentation
by
the
those
in
in
favor
of
those
opposed.
It
will
come
after.
That
part
is
closed.

Mr

Do
you
review
this
case
for
us
before
we
open
the
public
hearing.
L
Well,
good
evening,
Mr,
Mayor
and
members
of
council,
as
you
have
stated,
this
public
hearing
can
entails
four
applications
on
the
annexation
request.
It
is
only
for
two
properties
that
lie
within
unincorporated
Cherokee
County
that
would
be
187,
Gale,
Avenue
and
191
Putnam
Drive.
They
are
part
of
the
rezoning
master
plan
and

request
in
which
the
applicant
is
requesting
to
rezone
the
properties
that
lie
within
Cherokee

from
R40
to

development,
residential
and
the
properties.
A
lot
that
lie
within
the
city
limits
of
Canton
are
currently
zoned
a
GC,
a
General
commercial.
L
G
M
Good
evening,
for
the
record,
my
name
is
Park.
South
of
the
law,
firmer
Sam's,
locker
and
Hoffman
I
represent
the
applicant
in
regards
to
this
rezoning
application,
annexation
and
master
plan.
Amendment
approval
to
begin
with.
I
want
to
get
you
oriented
to
the
subject
property.
This
is
on
Marietta
Highway,
just
behind
the
public
shopping
center,
so
you're
going
up
575
you
get
off
575
at
that
interchange
start
heading
towards
downtown
Canton,
and
it's
right
behind
the
Publix.
This
gives
you
an
aerial
view.
M
You
can
see
the
the
Kroger
on
the
right
hand,
side
in
the
Publix
on
the
on
the
left
hand,
side
it's
an
assemblage
of
property
is
something
I
think
you
should
very
much
consider
is,
is
encouraging
developments
to
acquire
multiple
properties
from
multiple
property
owners
and
put
them
together
in
one
cohesive
development,
it's
expensive
and
hard
to
do,
but
the
benefit
the
property
is
currently
zoned.
General
commercial.
M
In
the
city,
there
are
two
smaller
Parcels
that
are
in
this
County,
but
the
majority
of
the
property
is
already
in
the
city
limits:
Zone,
General,
commercial.
The
land
use
plan
is
major:
highway
Corridor,
which
is
anticipates
very
intensive
commercial
type
development,
and
you
can
see
directly
to
the
South.
Is
the
shopping
center
just
directly
joining
us
to
the
South
when
we
met
with
staff?
She,
you
know
nine
plus
months
ago,
I
met
with
some
council
members.
M
Also,
one
of
the
things
that
came
up
was
the
missing
middle,
that's
something
that
is
providing
housing
that
isn't
being
provided
elsewhere
in
a
in
a
neighborhood
setting
that
isn't
provided
right
now,
so
we
were
challenging
that
plan
change
multiple
times
as
we
went
through
the
process
and
what
is
unique
about
this
project
is
that
we
have
four
unique
housing
type
within
our
community.
M
This
is
the
last
the
layout
giving
the
property,
and
you
can
see
we
all
go
all
the
way
to
Marietta
Highway,
but
a
significant
portion
of
that
property
is
impeded
with
a
stream
buffer.
That
kind
of
goes
diagonal
across
the
property.
So
when
you
come
in
off
of
Marietta
Highway,
you
see
the
northern
part
of
our
property
is
detached
housing
and
then
along
the
creek
buffer.
M
We've
got
Townhomes,
so
that's
two
housing
types
within
one
Community
when
they
add
the
third
housing
types
again
going
down:
Gale
Avenue
you've
got
single-family
homes
that
face
Gail
Avenue
with
the
rear,
loaded
garage
and
then
at
the
very
bottom.
We
have
quad
plexes
and
what
those
are
is
four
units
in
each
building
and
then
in
the
center
is
a
more
traditional
multi-family.
So
we've
got
four
distinct
housing
types
within
one
Community.
It's
something
that
I've
been
doing
this
long
time.
M
I've
never
had
a
client
be
able
to
put
other
that
many
distinct
housing
types
in
one
project.
The
multi-family
is
designed
so
that
there
is
podium
parking.
So
when
you
look
at
this,
when
you
look
at
most
multi-family
projects
that
are
more
not
in
your
downtown
core,
but
in
more
of
a
Suburban
environment,
you
have
a
sea
of
parking
because
there
are
a
traditional
Garden
style
Community.
This
has
Podium
parking
underneath.
M
So,
instead
of
seeing
the
you
know,
sea
of
parking
around
them,
the
multi-family
buildings,
you've
got
the
parking
underneath
you
have
generous
guest
parking
throughout
on
the
on
the
roadways
that
go
through
there.
Then
you
tie
it
together
with
an
amenity
package
that
works
together
and
what
this
does
is
it
pre
creates
a
commit,
complete
community
that
appeals
to
all
ranges
of
demographics,
age,
life
cycle,
marriage,
children,
it
creates
that
whole
living
environment
in
one
community,
and
so
that
is
what
is
Central
to
this
piece.
M
This
gives
you
an
aerial
perspective,
how
we
have
put
the
lower
density
to
the
north,
and
we
put
the
higher
density
in
the
larger
buildings
directly
behind
the
public
shopping
center,
where
you
would
expect
that
to
see
when
you
look
at
the
side
views.
This
is
the
view
from
Gale
Avenue
on
the
top
section
there
you
can
see,
which
that
those
is
lined
with
homes
that
face
Gale
Avenue
that
have
rear
loaded
garages,
and
so
the
view
along
Gale
Avenue
is
the
homes
and
then
behind.
M
That
would
be
the
multi-family,
so
that
is
designed
to
create
a
step
down.
If
you
will
from
the
lower
density
into
our
project
where
you
at
higher
density.
This
is
the
multi-family
building.
This
is
the
quad
buildings.
I,
think
it's
a
great
product.
That
is
not
really
that
offered
in
the
city.
Now
I
haven't
seen
it
anywhere
where
it's
a
totally.
You
know
four
living
units
in
one
building,
so
it
just
provides
a
different
opportunity
for
housing,
and
then
you
have
the
town
home
component
and
then
you
have
single
family
detached
component.
M
It
is
all
Rental
Community,
and
one
of
the
things
that
does
is
allow
the
community
to
be
maintained
under
one
ownership
and
all
that
landscaping
and
everything
is
done
cohesively.
They
have
an
amenity
package
that
ties
all
four
of
those
housing
types
together.
It's
not
separate
amenities
for
different
types.
It's
all
one
community,
and
so
this
is
a
unique
opportunity
to
come
forward
with
a
project
like
this.
The
one
of
the
big
things
that
we've
heard
is
transportation
and
concerns
about
traffic.
One
of
the
things
I
want
you
to
consider
is
how
much
time
do.
M
I
have
four
and
a
half
minutes.
Okay,
I'm
gonna
leave
like
three
minutes
left,
so
I'm,
Gonna,
Leave,
rebuttal
time,
the
transportation
and
traffic
is,
you
know.
Obviously
this
will
produce
traffic
and
one
of
the
things
is
you
always
look
at
what's
there
now,
which
is
basically,
this
is
undeveloped,
and
that's
not
how
you
really
look
at
traffic,
and
you
should
look
at
it
is-
is
General
commercial,
it's
Highway
business.
M
Whatever
goes
here
is
going
to
produce
traffic,
and
so
the
traffic
we're
producing
is
not
very
inconsistent
with
what
you
would
expect
to
see
if
it
was
developed
in
a
commercial
fashion.
G
G
Citizens
signed
up
to
speak,
it
I
just
confirm.
Is
there
anyone
else
to
speak
in
sport
of
the
case,
if
not
we'll
be
in
the
10
minute
section
four
opponents
to
speak
and
we'll
begin
with
Miss
Tori
tippins.
N
Name
is
Tori
tippins
for
the
record
I'm
a
lifelong
resident
of
Cherokee
County
after
leaving
for
college,
my
husband
and
I
chose
to
come
back
and
raise
our
family
here
and
have
been
living
in
the
innocent
neighborhood
behind
the
proposed
area.
Mills
Ridge
for
the
past
10
years
with
our
small
children,
the
family
of
Mills
Ridge,
Mills
Ridge
Family
can
y'all
raise
your
hand
for
a
trip
from
Mills
Ridge.
N
According
to
the
zoning
analysis,
which
I'm
sure,
you've
all
read
and
seen
clearly
states
that
this
type
of
build-
this
is
a
direct
quote-
is
not
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan
or
future
development
map.
This
area
recommends
a
low
density,
single-family
detached
housing
at
a
density
of
one
to
three
units
per
acre.
The
request
is
for
15.
that
is
5
to
15
times
the
amount
for
the
density
recommended
for
this
beautiful
area
of
our
County,
we're
not
anti-growth,
but
we
are
asking
you
to
grow
our
area
the
right
way.
N
Why
would
we
accept
and
offer
inconsistent
with
the
city's
growth
plan?
In
the
past
few
years,
the
traffic
has
increased
tremendously
and,
according
to
this
report,
not
only
has
a
track
traffic
study
not
been
submitted.
It
would
increase
this
area
by
a
500
car
adage
at
minimum,
so
the
road
we
take
multiple
times
a
day
to
get
to
the
main
road
of
Kent
Highway,
the
road
with
that
deer
crossing
sign
halfway
down
where
we
slow
down
to
show
our
children,
the
wildlife
on
the
way
to
school.
N
Every
morning
we
have
serious
concerns
about
the
sewage
and
the
storm
water.
Runoff
was
such
a
large
area
of
impervious
ground
being
created.
Neither
impact
Studies
have
been
listed.
This
report
is
cutting
down
much
of
the
Natural
Area
that
will
unpack
the
ecosystem,
creating
excessive
storm
water
that
will
run
off
into
our
neighboring
properties.
We're
not
asking
for
note
growth,
but
we
are
asking
that
you
do
it
the
right
way
for
our
community
we're
asking
that
you
keep
it
as
it
stands:
a
low
density,
zoned
area
on
a
typical
end
of
work
day.
N
Traffic
is
already
so
backed
up
to
Exit
14
from
575.
It
is
nearly
impossible
to
get
to
the
entrance
of
our
neighborhood
and
we're
talking
about
adding
500
cars
minimum
to
the
entrance
of
our
neighborhood,
we're
asking
for
responsible
growth,
we're
asking
for
a
50-foot
natural
transitional
barrier
and
one
to
three
houses
per
acre
zonage.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
our
drains
and
our
water
runoff
can
handle
this
type
of
development
as
a
community
help
us
be
proactive
rather
than
reactive,
build
the
infrastructure
first.
N
So
the
residents
who
have
chosen
to
raise
our
families
here
can
get
home
to
our
children
at
the
end
of
the
day,
and
so
our
roads,
schools
and
systems
can
hold
the
grow
both
as
beautifully
as
the
county
that
we
live
in.
This
proposal
isn't
truly
ready
to
be
voted
on.
The
data
is
not
here
to
support
this
build
and
we
ask
you
not
to
propose
to
to
vote
Yes
on
this
proposal
as
it
stands.
Thank
you.
G
O
O
Obviously,
you
can
tell
that
this
proposal
for
this
development
will
give
them
a
front
row
seat
to
a
lot
of
commotion
to
a
lot
of
issues
regarding
their
property.
It
impacts
noise
pollution,
evaporation
as
well
as
just
an
overall
reduction
in
quality
of
life.
I
agree
with
what
has
been
said
previously
from
the
citizens
of
the
Mills
Ridge
subdivision
tonight.
O
As
a
representative
of
my
parents,
I
want
to
voice
our
opposition
to
this.
It
is
unsustainable.
It
is
unreasonable.
There
does
need
to
be
a
better
plan
of
sustainable
growth.
We're
in
agreement
with
that
and
I
think
this
council
is
an
agreement
of
that.
My
understanding
is
that
you
have
moratoriums,
either
in
place
or
in
consideration.
I'd.
O
D
Q
city,
council
and
Mr
Mayor
for
allowing
me
to
speak
I.
My
name
is
Linda
steading
I'm
at
2360
millswood
run
I
am
a
resident
of
Mills
Ridge
I
echo
my
predecessor's
comments
about
this
proposal.
D
The
staff
has
noted
that
the
residential
area,
the
is
in
the
county,
should
be
lower
density,
two
to
three
homes
per
acre
I.
Don't
think
any
of
my
neighbors
would
disagree
with
that.
D
Likewise,
I
think
the
commercial
property
insofar
as
the
city
goes
being
used
as
residential
property,
adversely
impacts
the
city's
tax
base,
ultimately
because
the
difference
in
taxation
for
starters-
but
secondly,
I-
don't
think
the
city
needs
to
make
a
practice
of
putting
residential
property
on
valuable
commercial
land.
The
reality
of
this
situation
is
that
commercial
property
has
not
been
developed
because
of
land
costs.
D
This
project
will
not
front
Marietta
Highway.
It's
going
to
front
our
neighborhood.
In
fact,
the
only
thing
you'll
be
able
to
see
from
Marietta
Highway
is
going
to
be
the
top
of
these
five-story
apartment
buildings.
They
show
them
as
four
stories,
but
when
you
add
that
above
ground,
the
drive
under
parking
you've
got
a
50-foot
building,
I've
driven
around
Canton,
quite
a
bit
I've,
not
seen
anything
of
the
sort
in
any
of
the
existing
apartment
complexes.
This
Tall.
D
Having
said
that,
should
should
the
city
decide
to
go
ahead
with
this
proposal,
I
would
like
to
request
that
we
get
a
50-foot
vegetative
buffer
from
the
stream
on
Hill
Creek
down
Gale
Avenue
around
the
Horton's
property
and
continue
down
Gale
Avenue
to
where
it
dead
ends,
because
everything
surrounding
this
is
R40
property.
D
D
Likewise,
in
addition,
if
it
should
go
forward,
I'd
like
to
request
that
they
limit
their
construction
hours,
Monday
through
Friday
7
to
7
Saturdays
nine
to
six
no
construction
on
Sundays,
likewise
I'd
like
to
request
that
in
the
event
they
have
to
do,
blasting,
which
I
suspect
they
will
have
to
that
they
limit
blasting
Monday
through
Friday
and
provide
the
neighborhood
with
prior
notice
that
they're
going
to
be
blasting
and,
quite
frankly,
as
Ms
tippins
stated,
the
traffic
backs
up
so
far
there
at
Exit
14..
D
D
I,
apologize
and
I
believe
that
the
improvements
need
to
be
made
to
adjacent
roads,
the
way
that
property
lies
and
is
situated.
We
currently
have
people
cutting
making
the
left
turn
at
Gale
Avenue
coming
down.
I'm
sorry
left
turn
at
Hill
Creek
off
of
Marietta
Highway.
They
come
down
hill
Creek
to
where
it
dead
ends
on
Gale
Avenue.
They
go
right.
They
go
to
Clearview
Avenue.
They
take
a
left
to
access
Ridge
Road,
because
you
can't
get
to
the
lights
at
Ridge
or
Butterworth
Road
from
there.
D
They
either
go
down
Ridge
Road
or
they
cut
through
diamond
ridge
neighborhood
to
get
to
20
and
River
Green.
We
already
have
unsustainable
traffic
through
our
neighborhood
500.
Cars
is
not
going
to
improve
that,
and
if
you
try
to
go
out
the
back
of
our
neighborhood,
it
gets
even
dicier
at
the
intersection
of
keator
and
Ridge
Road,
because
we
have
tractor
trailer
trucks
that
occasionally
try
and
make
that
U-turn
from
Ridge
to
keter
and
it's
quite
dangerous,
coming
in
our
neighborhood.
D
If
you're
headed
Northbound
on
Ridge
Road,
because
you've
got
to
look
for
traffic
coming
southbound
onto
keter,
and
you
have
to
look
for
traffic
coming
off,
a
keter
Northbound
towards
Ridge
Road,
so
I
like
I,
said:
I
hope
that
you
will
rethink
this
and
maybe
reevaluate
the
density.
It's
my
understanding,
15
units
per
acre
is
some
of
the
highest
density
requested
in
the
City
of
Canton.
So
far,
thank.
A
G
M
We
were
great
to
do
the
buffers
you
she
mentioned
the
hours
of
operation,
the
we
will
be
improving
all
the
adjacent
roadways
we
will
be
making
in
any
improvements
at
Marietta
Highway
that
are
recommended
by
your
dot
Cherokee
D.O.T
and
our
traffic
study
everything
she
mentioned.
We
would
be
great
to
do.
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
the
property
is.
M
Is
zoned
General
commercial
I
know
that
there's
some
comment
about
that:
the
property
is
low
density.
Actually,
there's
only
the
two
partials
in
the
county
are
listed
as
low
density.
The
count
the
property
in
the
city
is
Zone,
General
commercials.
So
it's
not
low
density
use.
It's
not
going
to
be
maintained
as
low
density
uses.
It's
Zone,
General
commercial.
It's
major
highway
Corridor
on
your
land
use
plan
which
anticipates
intensity.
M
You
don't
push
a
shopping
center
on
a
property
that
really
doesn't
support
it,
because
this
land
has
got
a
creek
that
cuts
through
the
middle.
So
it
doesn't
have
good
Frontage
and
lie
well
for
a
shopping
center.
So
you're
not
going
to
get
a
shopping
center.
That's
going
to
work
here.
So
what
intensity
would
make
sense
on
this
property
in
residential
intensity,
close
to
the
existing
shopping
close
to
the
to
the
traffic
quarters,
and
everything
makes
good
planning
logical
sense.
I
want
to
touch
real
quickly
on
the
schools.
I
was
mentioned.
M
The
schools
are
95
capacity.
Your
school
reports
in
there
Elementary
School
this
Elementary
School's
73
capacity,
Middle
School,
78,
High,
School's,
85
percent,
one
of
the
things
I've
started,
making
sure
I
tell
every
jurisdiction
is
look
careful
at
least
school
and
numbers
we're
losing
students
or
they're
not
being
produced
they're,
not
getting
there
our
capacities
elementary
schools,
they
County,
could
actually
close
elementary
schools,
if
you
add
them
all
up
they're
over
capacity
or
under
capacity.
That's
the
actual
County
data.
In
your
report.
This
is
not
made
up.
M
This
is
the
the
county
data,
so
the
school
capacity.
The
suggestion
that
the
tax
base
I
mean
this
is
an
80
million
dollar
project.
That's
a
significant
tax
base
is
actually
going
to
be
a
higher
tax
base
than
the
say,
the
adjacent
publics
or
the
adjacent
Kroger
shopping
center.
So
their
comment
that
that
this
should
not
be.
You
know,
converted
to
a
residential
and
when
you
look
at
where
you
put
residential,
you
do
have
an
rm15
just
to
the
north.
M
Here
you
have
some
other
commercial
in
a
residential
in
this
area
with
similar
densities,
but
this
makes
a
logical
sense
to
put
the
density
that
we're
proposing,
because
we're
able
to
do
it
in
a
unique
setting.
I
know
that
that
we
were
challenged
from
the
beginning.
Can
you
come
up
with
multiple
housing
types
within
one
community,
and
my
client
has
done
that
to
have
a
multi-family
component
that
has
Podium
parking
underneath
rather
than
the
Sea
of
parking
to
have
the
quads
that
provide
four
living
units
in
one
building?
M
That's
a
different
living
unit
that
might
appeal
to
a
younger
couple.
Then
you've
got
town
homes,
it
might
appeal
to
a
couple:
that's
been
married,
a
little
while
might
have
a
young
child
and
then
you've
got
the
single
family
detached
all
within
one
Community,
not
here
section
here
section
here
section
here
and
it
ties
together.
That's
all
your
time!
Thank
you.
G
So
we
will
close
our
public
hearing
again.
I
know
we
had
one
citizen
sign
up
that
we
didn't
have
time,
but
I'll
remind
you.
Well,
we
can't
accept
any
more
public
comment
legally,
but
you're
still
welcome
to
email.
Your
comments
to
Mayor
and
Council
before
any
action
is
taken
so
and
at
this
point,
I
will
open
the
floor
to
council
for
any
questions
for
Mr
Green
and
discussion.
B
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I,
just
first
wanted
to
clarify.
Hopefully
everyone
who's
in
the
room
tonight
understands,
but
clearly
some
of
the
emails
we
received
residents
were
confused.
We
haven't
made
a
decision
on
this.
We
are
required
by
state
law
when
a
property
owner
requests
something
like
this
to
listen
to
them.
Just
like
we
listen
to
all
of
the
residents,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
clear,
and
then
my
questions
for
Mr,
Green
and
maybe
Miss
Watson
are
how
long
has
the
land
in
this
area
been
zoned,
General,
commercial.
L
L
The
property
along
Hillcrest
I
believe,
would
be
a
city
street
part
of
those
along
a
Gale
Avenue
would
be
city
streets.
There
are
three
unincorporated
Parcels
has
been
noted
in
the
report
in
the
request,
the
one
at
187
Gale,
Avenue
and
191
Putnam
Drive.
Those
are
the
two
that
are
up
for
annexation,
so
they
would
be
facing
city
streets
too.
I
believe.
A
Right
now,
just
to
just
to
clarify,
if
you,
if
you
look
at
this
particular
map,
the
areas
that
are
shaded
in
that
kind
of
taupe
or
khaki
color,
where
we're
on
both
sides
of
those
roadways,
Those
portions
of
streets
are
City
maintained,
so
the
the
portion
of
Hill
Creek,
that's
up
near
Murrieta
highway
is
the
cities
anytime.
You
have
a
jurisdiction,
that's
on
one
side
of
the
street.
It
becomes
a
county
road,
so
oliguel
Avenue
is
a
County
Street.
B
So
Gail,
if
this
project
were
approved,
would
there
would
be
improvements
required
to
bring
it
up
to
city
street
standards.
B
L
Any
type
of
retail
development,
such
as
a
gas
station
convenience
store
a
car
dealership.
A
professional
offices
car
wash
the
Juno
commercial
is
our
most
lenient
zoning
category
for
commercial
uses.
B
Thank
you
and
then
two
more
questions.
Some
residents
have
expressed
concern
about
sewage,
storm
water.
L
The
sewer
and
water
would
be
under
the
jurisdiction
of
Cherokee
County
when
the
land
disturbance
permits
were
to
be
submitted.
If
this
is
approved,
those
would
be
reviewed
by
our
city
staff
and
our
city
engineer
in
terms
of
water,
runoff,
impervious
surface
detention,
ponds,
Retention
Ponds.
All
that
would
be
looked
at
by
Miss
Watson.
B
And
then,
finally-
and
this
might
be
for
Miss
Watson-
there
was
a
traffic
study
done
for
this
particular
proposal.
Help
us
understand
how
that
traffic
study
can
say
that
that
traffic
won't
be
significantly
impacted.
What
are
the
differences
between
what
that
means
in
engineering
terms
and
what
that
means
to
the
people
who
live
in
neighborhoods
sure.
P
So
in
looking
at
a
traffic
study,
what
they
look
at
is
how
a
development
generates
traffic.
So
if
you
look
through
the
traffic
study,
it
tells
how
much
traffic
is
expected
to
be
generated,
and
then
they
take
the
traffic
that
is
currently
existing
and
put
those
together
to
develop
a
level
of
service
which
level
of
service
tells
you
how
the
roadway,
how
the
roadway
and
think
of
my
words,
how
it
sorry
it's
right
there,
how
it
golly
anyways.
P
Let
me
just
move
up
so
I,
so
level
of
service
D
is
what
the
city
has
adopted
as
our
minimum,
so
that
is
pretty
standard.
Most
communities
do
that.
Well,
so,
if
you
look
at
the
table
that
they
have
in
the
study,
they
have
a
level
of
service
that
shows
the
existing
conditions,
the
conditions
with
no
build
and
then
a
condition
with
the
build,
and
for
that
in
almost
every
single
case,
there
is
little
to
no
change.
P
So
so
it's
basically
if
it
was
a
level
of
service
a
for
no
build
it's
a
level
of
service
a
with
a
build.
Then
all
of
the
cases
are
a
level
of
service
C
or
B
or
better.
B
Thank
you
if
I'm
not
sure,
if
that
clears
it
up,
but
I'm
glad
you're
the
engineer,
if
is
there
any
chance
that
a
light
could
go
in
at
Marietta
Highway?
Is
that
a
City
Highway,
and
is
it
do
you
know
like
how
far
away
it
is
from
other
lights
and
that
kind
of
stuff?
Is
it
even
something
that
could
be
an
option.
P
So,
are
you
asking
if
that
we
could
put
a
signal
at
that
intersection
at
Marietta,
Highway
and
Gale
Avenue,
I,
guess
Hill
Creek.
P
P
The
city
uses
the
manual
for
uniform
traffic
control
devices
and
that's
developed
by
the
Federal
Highway
Administration,
there's
eight
different
warrants
in
there
and
you
can
go
through
each
one
and
it
it
talks
about
how
much
traffic
is
there.
Some
of
them
have
to
do
with
schools,
railroad
crossing
crash
data,
but
looking
at
the
numbers
that
you
have
for
trip
generation
versus
what's
theirs
now,
a
traffic
signal
would
not
be
warranted.
B
G
Okay,
I
noticed
in
the
presentation
that
Noel
Consulting
and
contributed
some
to
the
project.
I
know
that
the
city
had
worked
with
that
firm
several
years
ago.
Mr
Green
I,
guess
this
question
for
you
on
on
a
market
study.
For
you
know
the
number
of
multi-family
units
that
were
were
needed
in
the
City
of
Canton,
and
we
discussed
this
here
in
the
past
couple
years.
But
do
you
know
if
a
could
you,
if
you
know
if
a
market
study
was
known
for
this
particular
project,
and
if
not,
could
you.
G
Okay
and
a
couple
of
citizens
mentioned
the
50-foot
buffer
along
Gill
Avenue.
Do
you
know
I
was
being
proposed
there.
C
Green,
can
you
tell
me
if
access
would
ever
be
granted
to
this
property
off
of
Marietta
Highway,
so
that
traffic
would
not
go
through
by
the
residential
area.
L
The
applicant
site
plan
shows
a
traffic
coming
through
off
of
Hill
Creek
off
of
Hill
Creek,
no
access
directly
from
Marietta
Highway
as
the
applicant
presented.
The
property
is
affected
by
a
stream
that
goes
basically
from
north
to
south,
and
there
is
a
50-foot
understood
buffer,
an
additional
25
foot
area
that
can
be
disturbed
but
has
to
be
previous
surface.
C
C
C
Would
it
be
considered
to
have
access
from
Marietta
Highway
onto
that
property
instead
of
going
through
Hill
what
hill
Creek
and
by
Gale
so
is
so
that
the
extra
traffic
would
not
bother
the
residents
of
the
existing
residential
area?.
C
Can
you
tell
me
the
difference
between
traffic
generated
by
commercial
property
and
traffic
generated
by
residential
property,
and
it
just
seems
to
me
that
residential
property
would
generate
less
traffic
because
people
would
go
go
to
work,
go
home,
go
to
dinner
come
home,
but
commercial
would
be
all
day.
Long,
so
tell
me
is
tell
me
what
it
is
truth
correct.
P
P
But
if
you
were
to
put
a
gas
station
there
or
a
restaurant
that
generates
a
lot
more
traffic
than
a
residential
and
then
it's
also
very
much
more
concentrated
at
different
times
for
a
residential
you're,
going
to
look
see
a
higher
generation
in
between
seven
and
eight
in
the
morning
and
4
30
and
5
30
at
night.
When
for
retail
it
may
be
all
day
long
from.
C
J
Q
Green
I
just
have
one
question:
the
the
apartment
complex,
that's
being
built
there
at
prominence
point
is
that
was
that
factored
in
into
the
traffic
study,
because
it
sounds
like
there's,
some,
maybe
not
unrealistic
numbers,
but
maybe
a
textbook
factors
that
are
being
used.
P
Q
P
Yes,
so
it's
a
ite
manual
that
shows
what
the
trip
generation
is
for
each
different
type
of
development.
So
a
single
family
detached
has
a
certain
number.
A
apartment.
Complex
has
a
certain
number,
but
they
don't
take.
They
won't
take.
P
They
won't
take
new
projects
that
are
in
development
and
and
use
those
numbers
as
well
into
the
traffic
generation.
Now
there
is
in
that
they
do
take
the
standard
growth
expected
for
this
area
and
project
that
through
2025,
which
is
the
build
year,
so
they
are
expecting
growth,
they
do
show
growth,
but
they
don't
specifically
take
a
project
and
say
we
know
that
this
apartment
complex
is
going
in
here.
They
expect
the
growth
and
do
it
that
way.
That
makes
sense.
It.
Q
J
P
So
my
comment
to
that
would
be
that
look
at
another
development
and
say:
we've
got
to
include
this
traffic
to
see
how
my
development
is
impacting
we
for
each
of
these
developments.
They
have
to
pay
impact
fees,
so
this
development
is
going
to
pay
three
to
four
hundred
dollars
a
unit
and
it'll
go
to
impact
fee.
So
if,
in
the
future
we
decide
that
that
intersection
needs
a
traffic
signal,
we
can
use
those
Road
impact
fees
to
pay.
P
For
that
signal
and
I
think
our
calculator
is
close
to
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
Road
impact
fees
that
this
development,
if
developed,
the
way
that
it's
proposed
would
generate
for
the
city,
roadways.
G
A
A
A
If,
if
they
decide
that
they
don't
want
to
offer
comments,
we
can't
hold
the
case
up
because
they
chose
not
to
participate.
Now,
if,
if
the
unincorporated
residents
in
the
room
want
to
reach
out
to
their
County
officials
and
say
hey,
have
you
made
any
comments
on
this
yeah
I
should
certainly
consider
that.
G
A
One
one
thing
to
remember
too
not
on
this
one,
but
maybe
on
the
one
that
shows
Mr
Ingram,
the
the
map
that
shows
the
Incorporated
and
Incorporated
area.
A
Wow
so
that
gray
area
tote
khaki,
whatever
color,
is
all
currently
Incorporated
in
all
currently
General
commercial.
The
county
would
have
to
provide
access
to
those
parcels,
even
if
it's
General
commercial.
So
if
they
go
to
build
on
that
as
General
commercial,
they
will
still
have
access
to
Gill
Avenue.
A
G
A
We
have
similar
examples
where
we've
done
projects
throughout
the
city.
The
second
entrance
at
Laurel
Canyon
is
a
perfect
example
of
that
it
comes
out
on
a
county
road.
We
required
that
the
county
provide
us
information
from
the
developer
before
that
road
was
put
in
the
county,
determined
exactly
what
they
wanted
done
to
that
road
and
the
developer
had
to
build
it
to
the
county
standards
right.
We
didn't
sign
off
on
the
project
until
County
standards.
Okay,
thank
you.
F
That
I
have
two
quick
questions.
The
first
one
is
I
noticed
that
Mr
Huff
mentioned
that
all
the
schools
that
would
be
impacted
have
not
reached
capacity.
However,
whenever
we
have
a
project
coming
to
us,
we
do
require
that
the
developer
meet
with
the
school
board.
Has
that
been
done?
Mr
Green.
L
F
Thanks
the
other
question
I
have
is
that
have
they
made
any
idea
or
given
any
comments
about
a
contribution
to
the
city,
housing
fund,
I.
L
Normally
I'm,
not
at
this
time,
I
did
receive
an
email
today
for
Mr
Tolan,
and
he
asked
me
to
ask
these
three
questions
during
the
meeting.
One
of
them
is
for
City
staff
states
in
the
coming
days.
B
Green,
who
did
you
say,
is
asking
these
questions:
yeah,
hi
Sean,
and
what
data
did
he
ask
for
I'm?
Sorry,.
L
Well,
this
was
one
that
would
come
from
City
staff.
Could
you
please
research
and
provide
to
counsel
the
number
of
known
rental
units
in
the
immediate
area
within
a
radius
of
a
half
mile,
including
the
three
apartment
complexes
noted
in
tonight's
Council
packet?
I
would
also
like
to
know
the
rents
being
charged
for
one
two
and
three
bedroom
units
in
these
rental
units
number
two:
what
are
the
approximate
rents
that
the
applicant
believes
will
be
charged
for
each
one,
two
and
three
bedroom
apartment
in
the
homes
and
number
three?
B
Mr
poppers,
could
you
explain
just
so?
Everyone
knows
how
it
works.
What
what
the
school
fees?
That's,
not
a
conversation
that
we
ever
have
a
part
of,
but
each
developer
goes
to
the
school
board
and
then
what?
What
is
that
discussion
like?
How
do
they
arrive
at
a
number
and
then
what
are
those
fees
used
for
so.
A
This,
the
school
district
has
an
office
that
does
forecasting
and
they
use
that
as
part
of
their
budget
process,
their
Capital
project
realignment
of
of
maps
as
it
relates
to
feeders
for
different
schools
and
our
requirement
as
a
city
is
that
anybody
who
is
developing
residential
in
the
city
is
required
to
go
and
meet
with
the
school
district
and
have
a
conversation
about
the
impact
of
their
project
on
the
school
district.
The
school
district
in
turn
looks
at
the
project.
They
look
at
the
data
around
the
project
number
of
units.
A
They
probably
have
a
spreadsheet
that
that
calculates
an
amount
based
on.
You
know
whether
it's
a
single-family
home
or
it's
a
age-restricted
senior
only
Community.
You
know
they
they
Factor
all
of
those
things
in
they
determine
based
upon
that
information.
What
amount
of
funding
they
would
like
to
request
be
offered
from
the
developer
to
the
school
district
on
a
per
unit
basis?
A
We
only
require
that
we
have
a
letter
from
the
school
district
that
outlines
what
that
is
and
that
a
meeting
has
taken
place.
We
have
had
projects
multi-family
projects
come
forward
in
the
last
few
years
where
the
school
district
has
said.
This
project
does
not
have
an
impact
on
the
school,
and
the
dollar
figure
is
zero.
We
have
had
some
where
the
dollar
figure
over
the
years
has
been
several
hundred
dollars.
A
B
Thank
you
and
then
one
more
question.
Could
you
give
a
similar
explanation
of
impact
fees,
and
my
question
is
when
we're
talking
about
impact
fees
being
used
in
the
surrounding
area
and
Roads?
A
We
do
a
methodology
with
a
consultant
that
basically
looks
at
projects
that
the
city
needs
to
handle
over
a
period
of
time
and
it's
calculated
a
fee
per
unit
based
upon
and
that
unit
may
change.
There's
some
commercial
fees
that
are
still
out
there,
but
most
of
these
are
dealing
with
residential
development,
but
that
funding
source.
For
instance.
If
we
did
a
project
on
Marietta
Highway,
we
could
use
funds
from
the
impact
fee
to
do
a
project
on
Marietta
Highway.
A
But
when
a
developer
pays
into
the
impact
fee
fund,
it's
not
specified
for
a
specific
project.
It's
specified
for
transportation,
improvements
to
the
city-wide
Network,
and
so
as
an
example.
We
have
just
recently
used
some
impact
fees
to
put
in
the
new
traffic
signal
at
Teasley
Middle
School.
We
can
only
find
a
portion
of
that
project
out
of
impact
fees,
because
future
growth
is
only
impacting
so
much
of
it.
The
current
growth
is
already
participating
in
that
intersection.
A
A
But
you
know
that's
not
specified
in
this
particular
project.
We
Council
would
not
put
forth
a
condition
that
says
any
impact
fees
generated
off
this
project
will
be
used
directly
for
a
traffic
signal
at
this
location.
It
may
not
ever
meet
a
warrant
study
with
GDOT
to
allow
for
a
signal
at
that
location.
So
we
wouldn't
want
to
leave
that
money
specific
to
a
project
that
can't
be
done
understand.
A
G
And
I
would
just
like
to
say
we
did
have
some
comments
and
I
had
a
couple
questions
about.
Why
are
we
hearing
this
case?
I
thought
you
issued
a
moratorium
and
this
this
case
and
we
have
I
think
one
other
coming
at
the
next
meeting,
we're
already
in
in
the
queue
in
the
process
before
we
did
Issue
the
bats
for
12
months,
so
we
were
quite
required
to
hear
them,
so
it
was
in
process.
So
those
these
will
be
this
one.
G
The
next
one
will
be
the
last
two
for
the
bands
period,
but
you
know
we
we
did
it's
the
the
band
spirit,
for
you
know
to
to
consider
these
these
very
issues.
You
know
multifamily
and
growth
and
to
review
our
zoning,
and
things
like
we're
talking
about
tonight.
Is
you
know,
General
commercial,
better
than
residential
or
mixed
use,
and
we've
been
talking
about
Marietta,
Highway
and
coming
in
South
Canton
and
that
Corridor
for
a
long
time,
and-
and
you
know
a
master
plan
for
that.
G
So
these
issues
are
things
that
we'll
I'm
sure
be
given
thoughtful
consideration
too.
So
I
don't
want
to
thank
the
citizens
for
their
input
and
all
the
the
emails
and
questions
and
thoughtful
comments
that
they've
they've
had
during
the
process.
So
we
appreciate
that
so,
but
thank
you,
Mr
Green
and
we'll
moving
to
our
business
meeting.
You're
all
welcome
to
stay
I
know
some.
Some
of
you
may
not
may
like
to
exit.
G
C
G
Okay,
let's,
let's
continue.
G
Foreign
ER
packets,
the
draft
meetings
minutes
from
our
December
15th
amendment
meeting.
Are
there
any
revisions
or
corrections
to
those
meetings?
The
minutes
or
an
emotion.
Q
G
Motion
is,
second,
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye,
those
name
all
members
voted
for
the
motion.
So
in
your
package
you
also
have
information
item
the
review
of
the
November
finances,
financials
information
only
or
any
questions
for
that
so
Mr
Ingram
is
here.
Can
I
answer
this.
G
N
G
S
S
I
enjoyed
my
New
Year's
celebration,
also
having
shared
that
the
council
meeting
minutes
that
Council
just
chose
to
adopt
reflect
a
troubling
reflect
indeed
I
believe
a
very
troubling
idea
that
was
floated
during
the
last
Council
quoted
an
idea
that
the
city's
Administration
would
like
to
use
the
flock
cameras
for
marketing
purposes.
To
look
into
that
information.
I
forwarded
a
letter
to
the
city's
Administration
sharing.
S
My
concern
and
I
believe
that
the
use
of
plot
cameras
for
that
type
of
for
that
type
of
thing
would
be
unlawful
and
it
is
my
hope
that
Council
will
take
the
use
of
those
Technologies
in
our
city
very
seriously
and
will
reserve
the
use
of
those
Technologies
strictly
for
law
enforcement
purposes
that
has
been
mandated
by
the
general
assembly
under
Georgia
law.
This
is
not
to
be
ugly
or
disrespectful
to
anyone.
S
This
is
not
to
step
on
anyone's
Toes
or
to
be
or
to
discredit,
anyone's
idea
or
for
continuing
to
find
new
and
innovative
ways
to
make
Canton
the
coolest
small
town
in
America.
Rather
it's
strictly
one
that
bothered
me
a
little
bit
and
I
trust
that
there
may
be
a
member
or
two
also
be
disturbed
by
the
idea
of
using
those
cameras
for
that
type
of
purpose.
The
use
of
the
flock
technology
cameras
and
the
red
speed
cameras
should
be
reserved
exclusively
for
a
law
enforcement
investigatory
purpose.
S
Having
shared
that,
it
would
be
my
ask
of
counsel,
if
counsel
should
deem
it
appropriate
that
Council
look
into
the
matter
so
that
it
may
be
continued
or
excuse
me,
so
that
it
may
continue
to
be
professionally
addressed
and
if
Council
so
determines
through
legal
review.
That
indeed,
the
use
of
that
those
Technologies
for
that
purpose
is
against
what
Georgia
law
says.
S
Then
Council
consider
adopting
a
resolution
to
require
its
police,
our
police
chief,
to
review
the
policies
that
our
law
enforcement
agency
has
to
ensure
that
those
Technologies
are
indeed
reserved
exclusively
for
law
enforcement
use
and
are
not
used
for
any
other
purpose.
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
for
allowing
me
to
speak
members
of
council
and
again
I
want
to
share
in
closing,
but
it
was
not
these.
These
comments
are
not
intended
to
be
rude
by
any
serious
concern
based
on
law,
I,
think
Miss,
Weaver.
R
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
time.
I
have
two
subjects
that
I'd
like
to
address
this
evening.
The
first
of
one
is
regarding
the
speeding
or
the
traffic
volume
and
speeding
that
happens
on
East
Street.
My
name
is
Bob
Banks
I
live
at
810,
East,
Main
Street,
if
I
didn't
say
that
previously.
So
we
see
a
good
bit
of
volume,
I
didn't
have
an
occasion
to
have
a
meeting
with
Billy
peppers
and
chief
Merrifield
back
before
Christmas
and
got
some
good
information.
R
There
found
out
that
there's
about
10
000
vehicles
that
travel
on
East,
Main
Street
between
here
and
575
every
day,
a
great
deal
of
volume,
obviously,
and
a
lot
of
that
seemed
to
carry
more
speed
than
they
should
now.
I
know
that
they've
done
some
speed
tracking
and
some
and
and
have
a
good
bit
of
Records
on
that
and
85
to
90
of
that
is
probably
within
the
speed
limit
as
posted
along
there.
R
Let
the
folks
that
are
outside
that
bounds
seem
to
carry
a
good
bit
of
speed
and
we've
been
concerned
about
that
for
some
time.
So
we
didn't
meet
with
the
chief
and
I
wanted
to
thank
him
this
evening
in
particular,
because
we've
seen
some
more
patrols
along
Main,
Street
and
I
think
that's
probably
helped
us
a
great
deal
just
the
presence
there,
and
in
particular,
with
them,
working
and
seeing
blue
lights,
not
just
riding
up
and
down
the
street,
but
actually
blue
lights
in
them.
Stopping
people,
for
whatever
reason,
is
getting
people's
attention.
R
We
appreciate
that
the
second
subject
I
like
to
address
this
evening
is
regarding
the
vacant
seat
for
Ward.
2.
I
did
take
the
opportunity
to
email
everyone
on
the
council
regarding
a
recommendation
that
I
would
make
for
Brian
roach
to
be
appointed
to
that
seat
and
I've
invited
some
friends
of
mine
to
join
us
this
evening.
So
if
you're
here
this
evening
to
support
Brian
roach
in
being
appointed
to
the
seat,
that's
vacant
for
ward,
two,
please
raise
your
hand.
R
Thank
you
very
much,
that'd
be
my
point
this
evening
that
you'd
give
serious
consideration
to
appointing
a
a
lifelong
resident
of
Canton
Brian
roach
to
fill
the
vacancy
for
Ward
2..
Thank
you.
Thank.
G
A
Good
evening,
as
we
have
discussed
over
the
previous
year
with
having
all
of
the
2020
census
and
shape
files
in
hand,
I
did
ask
that
our
Consultants
that
do
our
GIS
mapping
work
with
us
to
look
at
reapportionment
of
the
council
Awards
the
maps.
Don't
necessarily
look
good
when
you
put
them
on
the
big
screen,
so
we
printed
off
copies
for
you.
We've
also
posted
copies
of
the
maps
on
the
back
wall
as
well.
A
A
So
in
the
agenda
packet
we
at
the
last
meeting
and
again
tonight
we
had
an
initial
concept
to
try
to
bring
those
into
better
alignment.
So
basically,
what
has
changed
between
the
current
map
and
the
map
that
was
proposed?
That's
in
the
packet
is
to
take
the
Oakdale
area
and
move
that
into
Ward
2
to
take
all
of
the
area.
A
That's
east
of
575
and
move
that
into
ward
two
neighborhoods
like
Cherokee,
Overlook,
Hillcrest,
Mountain,
View
and
Rose
Ridge
among
others,
and
then
take
Ward
2
further
south
into
the
the
older
parts
of
South
Canton
just
to
grow
that
that
particular
award.
So
the
math
that
was
produced.
That's
in
the
agenda
packet
moves
to
population
of
Ward,
one
keeps
it
right.
Around
twelve
thousand
Ward
2's
population
grows
to
9,
400
or
3's
population.
Strengths
drops
to
ten
thousand
option.
A
Number
one
was
at
the
request
of
some
council
members
to
look
specifically
at
the
southern
boundary
of
Ward
2
in
what
was
proposed
in
the
agenda
packet.
So
the
difference
here
is
that
we
have
made
the
southern
boundary
of
Ward
2
Exit
16
as
it
comes
in
off
the
interstate
towards
Marietta,
Highway
and
Williamson
Brothers
sample
and
then
makes
Marietta
Highway
the
boundary
for
Ward
2.,
so
it
leaves
Oakdale
in
there,
but
cuts
off
that
particular
area
based
upon
those
two
particular
roadways.
A
One
additional
discussion
that
took
place
is
shown
in
option
two
and
this
is
to
grow
the
the
area
of
Ward
2
and
and
try
to
get
a
little
bit
more
balance
with
Ward
one,
and
to
do
that.
This
would
take
ward
two
and
incorporate
the
properties
that
are
east
of
Bluffs
Parkway
to
the
north
side
of
the
city,
so
that
would
move
the
neighborhoods
of
town,
Mill,
Park,
Village
and
summer
walk
into
Ward
2
to
try
to
create
more
population
balance
between
Wards,
two
and
and
Ward
one.
A
A
Both
options
of
one
and
two,
so
it
it
creates
that
southern
boundary
along
Exit,
16
and
Marietta
Highway,
and
also
includes
the
increase
in
Ward
2,
going
up
on
the
Eastern
side
of
the
city
to
the
northern
part
of
the
city
staff,
took
those
requests
and
what
we
were
looking
at
there
and
then
tried
to
look
back
at
the
figure.
So
if
we
combine
options,
two
one
and
two
population
for
Ward
one
was
ten
thousand
three
hundred.
A
Seventy
three
population
from
Ward
2
is
11
459
population
for
Ward,
three
was
nine
thousand
seven
hundred
and
fifty
nine.
So
the
last
step
that
we
did
was
what
is
shown
is
option
four
and
that's
going
to
be
the
map.
That's
on
the
far
end
back
there
in
the
back
of
the
room,
and
this
tries
to
balance
the
previous
options
and
also
balance
the
populations.
So
what
we've
done
in
this
is:
we've
created
a
boundary
for
Ward
2,
which
is
Marietta
Highway
down
to
exit
16..
A
We've
moved
Oakdale
back
into
Ward
three,
so
Marietta
Highway
truly
becomes
the
western
boundary
of
Ward,
2
and
and
everything
south
of
exit.
16
becomes
part
of
ward
3.
in
doing
that
particular
map.
That
now
brings
the
populations
of
the
wards.
Ward
one's
population
is
ten
thousand
three
hundred
seventy
three,
where
two's
population
is
ten
thousand
eight
hundred
forty
six
word.
A
Three's
population
is
ten
thousand
three
hundred
and
seventy
two,
so
this
particular
map
takes
into
account
the
the
thoughts
of
where
the
boundaries
are
drawn
along
roadways
to
make
it
clear
for
residents
and
also
produce
wards
that
are
similar
in
populations.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
our
current
map
has
you
know:
12
I'm
sorry
has
12
000
in
one
Ward,
three
thousand
and
one
Ward
and
fifteen
thousand
in
another
Ward.
The
last
option
that's
provided
has
ten
thousand
plus
or
so
on,
each
of
the
awards,
so
it
does
make
those
equal
using
the
2020.
A
Census
Data.
Some
things
to
consider
the
reason
why
we're
getting
the
word
map
to
you
tonight.
What
we
would
like
to
do
is
we
would
like
for
Council
to
be
able
to
tell
us
what
their
preferences
in
a
map.
We
would
then
put
that
map
on
the
next
agenda
for
your
consideration
for
approval
that
will
give
us
the
ability
to
have
the
maps
in
place,
because
the
way
we
have
a
general
election
coming
up
in
November
and
the
general
election
requires
that
an
individual
live
within
their
Ward
for
six
months.
A
A
A
So
that's
kind
of
the
time
frame
that
we're
on
I
would
say
that
I'm
very
appreciative
of
our
Consultants
at
interdev
that
do
our
GIS
mapping
great
to
work
with
anytime.
We've
asked
them
to
move
a
line.
They've
been
able
to
quickly.
Do
it
get
us
a
copy
of
it.
Give
us
a
new
population
counts.
A
To
my
knowledge,
the
last
apportionment
that
took
place
at
the
city
level
was
probably
early
2000.
So
this
is
a
process
that
has
needed
to
have
been
done,
but
now
that
we
have
the
the
most
current
Census
Data
we're
able
to
do
it
in
a
manner
that
is
fitting
for
each
of
the
awards.
We
are
not
required
to
take
our
award
map
and
have
it
approved
by
anyone
at
the
state
level.
It's
something
that
we
can
do
locally.
A
Part
of
the
reason
for
that
is
that
the
way
our
city
is
structured,
we
have
three
Wards,
there's
two
representatives
for
each
Ward,
so
there's
never
a
period
of
time
where,
where
one
Ward
is
not
being
represented
in
an
election,
some
cities
have
six
council
members
and
six
Wards,
and
so
that
seat
only
comes
up
once
every
four
years
in
the
City
of
Canton.
If
you
live
in
the
city
you're
eligible
to
run
every
two
years,
regardless
of
where
you
live,
because
there's
always
a
ward
seat
up
for
you.
So.
G
Well,
thank
you
miss
wepers.
This
is
certainly
something
it's
long
overdue.
We've
been
talking
about
it
for
whatever,
since
I've
been
on
Council
for
six
nine
years,
and
it's
part
of
our
road
map
and
I
want
to
thank
our
consultants
and
staff
for
leading
this
effort.
I
certainly
think
that
this
option
for
for
me
and
I
think
some
of
us
discussed
is
is
certainly
the
most
Equitable
and
to
me
is
like
easiest
clearest
to
understand.
I.
G
Think
the
most
important
part
of
this
is
our
it's
easy
to
understand
for
our
citizens
what
Ward
they
live
in
and
you
know
where
they
could
qualify
if
they're
interested
in
running
and
getting
engaged.
But
it's
you
know
it's
the
most
fair
and
Equitable
easy
to
understand
at
a
glance,
but
it
seems
to
me
it's
just
a
really
great
solution
and
I'm
glad
we're
doing
it.
I'm
glad
we're
doing
it
for
the
next
election.
As
you
can
see,
I
mean
right
now.
G
Current
award,
Ward
2
has
been
underrepresented
for
quite
some
time.
You
know
to
the
tune
of
you,
know
less
than
25
percent
of
the
a
quarter
of
the
other
two
Ward
sizes.
So
it's
certainly
time
to
do
this
and
I
I
really
appreciate
the
effort.
I
think
it's
a
great
solution,
so
any
other
comments,
I
look
forward
to
getting
this
new
map
in
place.
Miss
McGrew.
C
Thank
you,
Mr
Peppers.
Please
relay
my
thanks
for
the
work
on
this
I
know
it
doesn't
happen.
You
know
the
blink
of
an
eye
I
like
the
proportions
of
this
map.
The
population
is
divided
up
fairly.
Equally
I
appreciate
that
and
some
information
that
I
asked
you
for
probably
every
18
months
is
businesses
in
each
Ward.
The
number
of
businesses
we
have
could
I
get
that
in
the
next
two
to
four
weeks.
A
We
should
be
able
to
do
that.
We
do
track
business,
license
data
on
our
GIS,
so
I'll
sit
down
with
them
tomorrow
and
see
if
they
can
pull
that
see
if
they
can
pull
it
under
the
current
map
and
see
if
they
can
pull
it
under
the
proposed
option
force
that
should
give
you
some
idea
of
right.
F
Just
want
to
reiterate
what
Mr
pepper
said
about
living
in
the
wards.
Just
because
Town
meal
may
move
up
toward
two
and
it's
been
in
Ward
one.
That's
no
difference
in
the
representation
I
represented
Town
Mill
before
I
will
represent
Town
Mills
steel.
The
main
thing
is
to
have
a
equal
representation
on
this
Council.
We
would
not
have
all
six
members,
as
you
said,
before,
living
in
one
particular
Ward.
F
A
Is
it
the
consensus
that
you
like
option?
Four,
if
that's
the
map
that
you
like
that's
the
one
we
would
put
on
the
agenda
for
for
voting
for
it,
the
next
two
meetings
to
meet
to
meet
the
requirements.
G
Yes
had
not
yes,
so
thank
you
great
thank
you.
So
we
will
move
forward
with
new
business
item
a
discussion
of
appointments
to
Municipal
Court
members,
Mr
Ingram.
K
Thank
you,
Marion
Council,
you
have
in
front
of
you
a
cover
sheet
and
a
memo
by
our
court
clerk
Miss
Teresa
fish
is
here
her
or
are
willing
to
answer
any
questions
you
have,
but
every
two
years
we
need
to
appoint
a
chief
judge,
associate,
judge
and
solicitors,
a
public
defender
as
well
as
prosecutors,
and
in
that
memo
you
have
the
current
list
that
we're
currently
using
in
it
and
in
a
couple
of
weeks
we're
going
to
ask
that
you
consider
approving
those
reappointments.
A
Just
that
at
the
last
meeting
of
December
Mr
Carlin
notified
the
council
that
that
he
would
be
resigning
and
vacating
a
seat
because
of
an
appointment
to
the
Judiciary.
The
charter
states
that
the
council
has
the
opportunity
to
appoint
the
seat.
A
One
thing
I
would
note
to
you
is
the
the
qualifications,
so
the
charter
Charter
reads
as
follows:
I'm
going
to
I'm
going
to
read
this
to
you
terms
and
qualifications
for
office,
the
members
of
the
city,
council,
Shall
Serve
terms
of
four
years
or
until
their
respective
successors
are
elected
and
qualified
no
person
shall
be
eligible
to
serve
as
mayor
council
member
unless
that
person
shall
be
a
United
States.
A
That
doesn't
mean,
however,
that
you
could
appoint
someone
new
to
that
Ward
to
that
seat,
because
they
will
not
have
lived
in
that
Ward
for
six
months
and
a
later
agenda
item
we
have
tonight
is
the
resolution
that
calls
for
the
elections.
We've
included
two
elections
in
that
particular
item.
One
is
the
special
election
which
we're
required
to
have
for
this
seat,
and
the
other
is
the
general
election
that
we
have
every
two
years
for
other
City
Seeds.
A
A
If
there
are
more
than
one
person
that
qualify
for
that
special
seat,
then
at
the
election
in
November
once
that
election
is
decided,
whether
it's
done
election
night
or
if
it
goes
to
a
runoff
whenever
that
election
is
finalized
and
certified
the
winner
of
that
election
is
sworn
into
that
seat.
The
other
individuals
that
are
part
of
the
general
election
would
not
be
sworn
in
until
January
of
next
year,
so
I'm,
just
bringing
that
to
your
attention.
Thank.
G
You
thank
you
and
and
I
have
some
thoughts.
I
want
to
share
and
I
just
wrote,
These
down
so
sometimes
I
speak
off
the
cuff
I
wind
up
with
my
foot
in
my
mouth,
so
but
obviously
Mr
Carlin's
resignation.
Our
last
meeting
was
a
surprise
to
all
of
us,
but
we
certainly
wish
him
the
best
of
luck
in
his
his
new
career
and
Endeavor.
So
and
of
course,
any
vacant
seat
on
our
Council
creates
interest
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
G
G
We've
had
multiple
citizens
express
interest
in
this
open
seat
and
I
think
that's
exciting
to
have
so
much
enthusiasm
for
the
positive
momentum
we
have
created
with
our
roadmap
for
the
past
two
years.
I
want
to
thank
everyone,
who's
willing
to
step
forward
and
play
a
role
in
dancing
our
roadmap
and
the
city
for
all
cities.
G
As
we
discussed,
however,
we
will
be
adopting
a
new
Ward
map
at
our
next
meeting,
our
next
two
meetings,
and
after
months
of
consideration
and
decades
overdue.
Our
new
Ward
map
will
finally
create
an
expanded
and
Equitable
playing
field
for
candidates
who
are
interested
in
running
for
Mr
Carlin's
seat
in
the
special
election
in
November.
G
The
winner
of
this
election
will
be
seated
immediately,
as
Mr
pepper
stated,
and
if
unopposed
after
the
qualifying
period
ends,
the
sole
candidate
will
even
be
seated
again
after
that
qualifying
Berry
ends.
So
while
we
will
not
take
action
tonight
in
the
absence
of
counselor,
Tolan
I
would
suggest
our
counselor
strongly
consider
leaving
the
seat
open
until
the
special
election
in
November.
G
For
the
following
reasons,
it
would
not
be
fair
to
change
the
ward
2
district
and
appoint
a
new
council
member
at
the
same
time,
since
the
qualifying
period
of
living
in
the
sad
district
for
six
months
prior
would
automatically
exclude
the
majority
of
new
citizens
in
the
ward,
while
the
appointment
to
fulfill
to
fill
a
vacated
seat
in
this
time
frame
is
solely
a
council
decision.
According
to
our
city,
Charter,
it's
up
to
the
mayor
and
Council
to
act
with
the
utmost
integrity
and
the
best
interests
of
all
citizens.
G
G
However,
our
role
is
to
govern
in
the
most
effective
manner
possible,
to
maintain
steadfast
focus
on
a
road
map
work
and
working.
Our
plan.
We've
made
excellent
progress
in
the
past
two
years
and
I.
Think
a
lot
of
our
success
stems
from
the
fact
we
put
politics
aside:
listen
to
our
citizens,
created
a
plan
rolled
up
our
sleeves
and
got
the
job
done.
G
We've
accomplished
over
70
percent
of
the
projects
in
our
15-year
roadmap
in
just
under
two
years,
and
we're
embarking
on
phase
two
this
year,
while
there's
a
lot
of
work
left
to
be
done
and
more
hands
and
minds
are
always
needed.
I
think
maintaining
focus
with
an
open
seat
for
a
few
short
months
is
a
preferable
option,
regardless
of
the
quality
of
any
member
that
may
be
appointed
by
council
at
this
time.
G
Q
A
So
so,
first
of
all,
you
can
only
appoint
someone
who
currently
lives
in
Ward
2
and
has
lived
in
Ward
2
for
six
months
to
that
seat,
because
they
would
have
to
meet
all
of
the
criteria
to
serve.
That's
the
first
second
is
the
existing
Ward
2.
No
parts
of
it
are
being
removed
only
added
to
so.
If
you
did
make
an
appointment
that
individual
would
still
be
eligible
to
run
because
they
we've
not
made
any
deletions
toward
two
just
in
additions.
A
A
A
A
And
that
we
will
have
one
Ward
one
seat,
one
board
two
seat
and
one
Ward
three
seat.
In
addition
to
the
mayor's
seat
and
the
general
election,
we
will
also
have
a
special
election
at
the
same
time
and
will
handle
qualifying
at
the
same
time
for
the
special
election
for
that
Ward
2
seat.
That's
currently
vacant.
A
Those
elections
will
be
on
November
7th.
We
will
utilize
Cherokee
County
precincts
that
are
in
the
city
to
do
the
elections.
Cherokee
County
will
be
doing
the
election
for
us,
but
we
will
be
bringing
an
agreement
to
you
later
this
month
for
you
to
consider
for
approving
them
doing.
Our
election
for
us
qualifying
would
be
held
here
at
City.
Hall
in
qualifying
would
start
on
Monday
August
the
21st
and
would
run
from
8
30
a.m
to
5
P.M.
A
A
We
will
have
a
voter
registration
deadline
of
October
10th
and
early
voting
would
begin
on
October
16th
for
the
election.
So
that's
the
basic
data
of
the
resolution.
You
will
have
that
to
approve
at
the
next
meeting
once
all
of
that
is
approved,
the
clerk
will
begin
working
on
qualifying
packets
with
that
information
in
them
and
the
new
world
map.
A
All
of
that
information
will
be
available
online
and
in
the
clerk's
office
and
routinely
we'll
have
questions
from
individuals
who
are
interested
in
running
and
they
don't
necessarily
know
which
Ward
they
live
in
and
we
work
through
that
process
and
make
sure
that
they
have
the
qualifying
packets
available
to
them.
A
qualifying
would
not
be
until
the
last
week
of
August.
A
Was
so
it
at
that
at
that
point
of
the
election,
if
there's
only
one
person
that
qualifies
for
the
seat,
the
person
would
take
office
upon
being
sworn
in
after
qualifying
in
August.
They
would
serve
the
remainder
of
2023
as
well
as
2024
and
2025
right.
That
seat
would
be
up
for
a
general
election
in
2025..
A
If,
if
there's
an
election,
that
person
would
take
over
in
November,
if
there's
a
runoff,
that
person
would
take
over
in
December,
but
they
would
continue
to
serve
until
the
2025
right
in
that
particular
seat
yeah.
So.
T
C
A
I
do
think,
however,
on
the
ballot
for
the
actual
election,
there
will
be
two
ballots
for
the
voter.
One
will
be
the
general
election
ballot
and
one
will
be
the
special
election
ballot,
but
seeing
as
how
there's
only
City
elections
this
time
unless
there's
a
called
County
election,
there
shouldn't
be
Confusion
by
the
voter
at
the
actual
polling
location.
G
P
So
everything
is
good
to
go.
It's
set
for.
We
are
waiting
on
the
modem.
Brandon
Poole
has
talked
with
a
DOT
about
getting
the
modem,
so
I'm,
not
exactly
sure
when
it'll
be
here.
We're
also
waiting
on
a
timing.
So
we
have
a
contractor
that
will
come
out
and
do
timing
on
the
the
lot
I.
Don't
know
exactly
when
that's
going
to
happen,
but
I
would
expect
it
in
the
next
month.
So
I
know
that's
not
exactly
what
you
wanted
to
hear,
but
it's
just
what's.
B
C
G
C
Group
I
have
a
question
from
Mr
Peppers
about
sitting
here.
Thinking
about
the
award
Maps,
another
question
came
to
mind:
will
the
boards
and
commissions
be
affected
by
the
redrawing
of
the
ward
mats,
because
Council
appoints
members?
According
to
the
wards.
A
A
The
member
so
there's
a
yes
and
the
no
answer
that
right,
the
the
yes
part
of
the
answer
is
new
members
who
were
elected
can
choose
based
on
Ward
I,
don't
know
of
any
particular
Committee
in
the
city
where
we
have
made
it
a
requirement
that
the
individual
will
be
from
award.
But
traditionally
council
members
have
tried
to
appoint
individuals
from
their
Ward
to
that
seat.
A
So
what
we
have
done
in
the
past,
as
as
a
council
member
rotates
off,
we
have
notified
their
appointments
that
the
council
member
has
rotated
off
and
that
their
term
may
come
to
an
end
if
they're
not
reappointed
by
the
new
member
for
that
seat.
So
what
we
would
do
in
this
case
is
the
individuals
who
are
currently
serving
on
the
board
that
were
Mr.
G
And
on
my
items,
I
did
want
to
remind
Council
that
we
do
have
some
some
boards
and
commission
seats
open
and
we'd
like
to
have
your
suggestions
for
appointments
by
the
next
meeting
and
point
you
know
again
and
the
goal
there
again
the
guide
was,
you
know:
we've
been
trying
to
move
to
to
have
council
members
make
appointments.
You
know
by
Ward
as
a
general
guide.
It's
not
a
requirement.
Mr
Waterman
I
had
a
conversation
about
this
yesterday.
G
The
last
day
or
two
about
the
ultimate
goal
is
to
point
the
best
people
possible
and
and
and
get
these
jobs
done
in
the
best
manner
possible
and
an
exciting
thing
about
having
all
these
new
people
engaged
and
interested
in
surfing
is
like.
We
have,
you
know,
kind
of
have
some
great
conversations
about.
G
Where
do
you
want
to
serve
regardless
of
how
you
want
to
serve
the
city
and
on
what
level
so,
but
we
have
some
some
exciting
openings
and
let's
try
to
get
those
in
place
also,
since
this
is
our
first
business
meeting
of
the
year,
it's
my
responsibility
to
appoint
a
mayor,
Pro
tem
for
the
for
the
year.
I
want
to
thank
councilor
McGrew
for
serving
this
this
past
year.
G
Thankover
service
I
would
have
started
with
Miss
Wilson
in
2020
and
Miss
McGrew
this
this
past
year
and
is
I'd
like
to
nominate
councilor
Schmidt
to
serve
as
2023
mayor,
Pro
tem,
and
it's
we're
moving
down
the
list
here,
but
she'll
do
an
excellent
job
and
so
far
I
haven't
had
to
miss
a
meeting.
But
you
know
it
could
happen
anytime
now
so,
but
but
I'd
like
to
ask
for
a
second
of
that.
Second
for
that
nomination
and
a
vote
tonight
so.
Q
G
G
Pro
tem
Schmidt
and
then
one
final
thing
I
just
want
to
remind
our
citizens
who
are
here
tonight
the
ones
who
are
watching
that
I
will
be
delivering
the
annual
state
of
the
city
at
our
next
meeting.
January
19th
so
we'll
be
reviewing
some
of
the
accomplishments
from
last
year
and
talking
about
some
of
the
exciting
things
to
come
in
our
roadmap
2.0
and
some
making
some
some
hopelessly
exciting
and
funny
announcements
of
some
great
things
that
will
be
happening
this
year.
So
please
join
us
for
that.
