A
A
C
A
Thank
you
Mary
protein
just
quit
guidelines
for
our
meetings.
We
have
two
items
on
our
agenda
tonight,
but
we
still
want
to
maintain
our
guidelines.
The
meetings
are
a
public
forum
in
which
many
opinions
are
expressed
and
the
business
of
the
city
must
be
conducted
and,
as
such,
discipline,
honorable
and
professional
decorum
is
paramount.
Courteous
and
respectful
communication
is
expected
during
the
public
hearing.
All
questions
and
statements
from
the
public
shall
be
directed
to
the
chair
and,
if
you
wish
to
speak,
raise
your
hand,
I
will
recognize
you.

A
A
This
is
second
reading
of
public
hearing
of
an
ordinance
to
approve
a
development
agreement
for
2270
whiskey
road
by
title
and
ordinance
authorizing
the
city
of
akin
to
enter
into
a
development
agreement
with
hen
ball
in
Belle
properties,
LLC
evolving
property
located
at
2270,
whiskey
road.
Is
there
a
motion
so
move
mr.
mayor
hi.
E
Mayor
we
have
been
working
with
the
developers,
hen
bell,
LLC
interested
in
purchasing
the
old
lad,
britt
property
at
2270,
whiskey
road
proposed
plan
they
have
shared
involves
a
potential,
restaurant
and
retail
establishment
at
the
site.
There
are
several
unique
issues
that
we
worked
with
the
potential
developer
and
have
enclosed
the
attached
development
agreement
for
council
review
1.
The
city
project
that
has
sanitary,
sewer
and
storms
who
are
running
to
the
TD
Bank
property
at
the
southern
border
of
this
property
will
allow
for
handbell
LLC.
To
connect
to
these
lines.
E
Handbell
LLC
will
reimburse
the
city
$20,000
to
connect
to
the
sanitary
sewer
line
in
twenty
thousand
dollars
to
connect
to
the
storm
sewer
line.
Traffic
impact
study
commissioned
by
the
developer
recommends
a
single
entrance
/
exit
point
allowing
for
full
movement
across
whiskey,
road
and
three.
The
property
developer
and
owner
will
agree
to
be
annexed
into
the
city.
10Ml
LLC
and
the
city
have
reviewed
the
attached
development
agreement
in
both
parties
agreed
to
its
contents.
E
This
agreement
is
similar
to
the
one
you
approved
on
April
27
2015
for
the
adjacent
property
formerly
occupied
by
TD
Bank.
A
portion
of
the
traffic
study
is
attached.
City
Council
approved
this
ordinance
on
first
reading
at
the
main
ight
2016
meeting
for
council
consideration,
the
second
reading
and
public
hearing
of
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
city
of
akin
to
enter
into
a
development
agreement
with
handbell
properties,
LLC
involving
property
located
at
2270,
whiskey
row
Thank.
C
Yes,
mr.
mayor
I'd
like
to
thank
our
all
of
the
staff
members
that
have
been
involved
in
this
and
also
the
the
developer
and
the
time
has
taken
to
do
this.
There
was
a
lot
of
touching
things
that
we
had
to
deal
with
to
open
up
this
whole
area,
but
what
it
basically
did
just
open
up
that
area.
So
thank
everybody
for
doing
that.
I.
F
F
Mate,
this
man
was
dig
I'm,
Dennis,
Trotter
from
in
bill
properties,
LLC
and
Jordan,
Trotter
commercial,
real
estate,
we're
the
developers
and
first
off
thank
y'all
from
doing
the
meat
seeming
start
nearby
schedules,
and
secondly,
mr.
Ebner
is
absolutely
right.
We
have
had
a
lot
of
touchy
situations
to
choose
issues
to
work
through
and
your
staff
has
done
a
outstanding
job,
a
lot
of
things
that
can't
be
done
quickly
but
feel,
like
we've
reached
a
agreement
that
does
well
for
us
and
for
the
city.
We
hope.
So
thank
y'all
for
that.
F
But
Miss
digs
to
your
question
specifically
are
our
goal.
Right
now
is
to
commence
construction
in
the
next
15
days.
Have
a
ribbon
cutting
for
the
krispy
kreme
through
sometime
around
October,
the
25th
and
the
harbor
freight
project
would
follow
about
a
month
behind
that.
So,
while
tears
became
is
a
very
complex
building
on
the
inside,
it's
duplicated
many
many
times
over
across
the
country,
and
it
the
construction
of
it
goes
fairly
quickly.
I
was.
D
C
F
B
G
F
G
F
Works
perfectly
fine,
Krispy
Kreme
is
a
really
unique,
really
unique
situation
cause
in
the
eyes
of
in
the
eyes
of
their
business
model.
The
their
signage
with
the
hot
donuts
now
is
an
integral
part
of
their
business,
and
it
they
mark
it
around
it.
They
advertise
around
it.
They
sell
doughnuts
around
it
more
so
than
anybody
else,
and
so
it's
a
in
review
of
Lethe
reviews
of
the
sign
ordinance
to
make
sure
we
could
make
it
work.
C
G
B
H
Can
give
you
the
exact
figure
via
an
email,
but
this
was
part
of
our.
This
was
been
out
of
economic
reinvestment
died
and
it
was
approximately
around
a
hundred
between
150
and
200
thousand
dollars,
total
for
the
for
the
project.
But
some
of
that
includes
work.
We
did
around
George's
pond,
but
in
terms
of
the
sewer
line
and
the
storm
sewer,
I
can
parcel
that
out
and
get
that
direct
information
to
you,
but
we
had
the
same
contractor.
Do
it
all
at
one
time?
Okay,.
C
I
Question
I'm,
sorry
to
Stewart
got
away
so
quickly.
Just
beat
Bolton
well,
I,
don't
know
if
you're
the
right
person
good
answer
or
not,
but
one
of
the
things
that
makes
reference
to
is
the
impact
fees
paid
by
the
developer.
What,
if
you
could
tell
me
what
are
the
total
of
the
impact
fees
and
what
are
they
you're.
H
J
F
F
F
J
J
I
F
Are
it's
shown
we
intend
to
have
it?
The
they're
shown
is
somewhat
stub
outs
on
the
site
plan
now
and
upon
redevelopment
of
the
TD
Bank
branch.
Their
annexation
and
site
development
process
will
require
to
connect.
Darcel
will
basically
pave
to
the
property
line,
he'll
pay
to
their
property
line
and
connect
it,
and
in.
F
I
That,
but
what
about
anything
we
had
required
years
ago,
the
little
small
strip
center
that
includes
atlanta
bread
company
to
have
connectivity
to
the
rear
to
go
back
to
centennial
or
whatever
it
is
back
there.
Would
there
be
how
far
after
you
I've
yet
to
really
see
a
projected
plan
for
how
the
property
behind
this
is
all
going
to
lay
out
as
far
as
roads
and
cons
of
nails,
but
they're
being
need
to
connect
this
George
or
anybody
connect
this
at
the
rear?
Well,
but
either.
I
J
I
I
I
C
I
C
J
C
Road
and
also
down
past
ginter
to
pick
up
both
of
those
roads
and
the
layout
was
done,
such
more
than
likely
you'd
put
two
tie-ins
to
it,
one
between
the
tire
company
and
TD
bank
and
then
one
between
this
business
and
the
in
the
next
property.
So
you
wouldn't
have
four
you'd
have
to
and
that's
the
intend
in
the
future.
But.
I
C
I
C
I
Talking
about
something,
the
expenditure
would
be
ink
on
paper
I'm,
not
talking
about
building
anything
yet
because
you
don't
know
if
you'll
get
that
right
away.
That's
just
for
council
to
consider!
I
mean
if,
if
it's
a
concern
that
the
city
has
had
and
that
we've
heard
you
know
at
the
last
time
we
talked
about
this
property.
We
were
talking
about
restricting
the
access
on
the
whiskey
road
to
right-in
right-out,
and
there
that
we
talked
about
it.
I
The
traffic
study
shows
that's
unnecessary,
but
but
this
would
be
me
potential
some
potential
benefit
and
because
it's
not
a
straight
shot
through
like
it
is
at
atlanta
bread
company,
you,
wouldn't
it
wouldn't
really
serve
as
a
cut
through
yeah.
This
has
the
way
it
lays
out.
This
has
a
zigzag
effect,
and
so
people
wouldn't
use
it
as
a
cut
three,
but
I
think
it
would
allow
accessibility
sort
of
the
way
that
there's
now
a
rear
accessibility
for
the
panera
vitamin
store
center
from
the
Granite's
on
the
side.
I
But
it's
at
the
rear
side,
from
starbucks
with
the
net
panera
and
vitamin
shoppe,
and
I
mean
I
think
it
would
be
some
benefit
and
all
would
simply
be
as
a
provision
within
spelling
agreement.
That
says
that,
should
we
obtain
the
rights
away
and
have
access
to
everything
else
that
it
can
be,
the
connection
can
be
made.
Permission
was
granted
miss.
B
F
F
We
don't
know
how
much
right
away
it's
going
to
take
from
the
trailer
park
in
the
rear,
how
much
it
would
need
from
us
there's
so
many
unknowns,
it's
hard
to
say
exactly
well,
it's
a
good
idea
to
connect
it
up
here
or
it's
a
good
unconnected
10
feet
to
the
to
the
west.
So
exactly
how
that
all
works
out
is
a
lot
of
discussion,
because
we've
got
some
delivery
functions
for
harbor
freight
in
the
back.
F
That
can't
be
impacted,
there's
a
lot
of
those
questions,
but
in
concept
we
are
certainly
not
out
to
try
to
hold
the
city
hostage
over,
but
you
know
a
hundredth
of
an
acre
of
right
away
and
enjoy
that
we
are
happy
to
cooperate
as
soon
as
we
see
a
plan
that
makes
it
or
we're
comfortable.
There
are
sites
still
functions
the
way
it
should
and
enable
the
city
to
help
get
it
done.
I
City
make
it
work
about
my
feeling
would
be.
There
would
be
a
simple
extension
of
the
turnaround
stub
that
you've
got
you're
going
I,
guess
almost
due
east
on
it.
That
kind
of
comes
to
a
dead
end
which
I
assume
you're
using
for
turning
around
for
delivery
trucks
and
coverage.
Trucks
right
but
it'd,
be
basically
extension
of
that
which
doesn't
have
to
be
built
yet
correct.
But
it
would
follow
that
same
path,
all
the
way
to
the
real
property
line.
But
may.
F
I
F
No
question
about
it
and
you
know
own,
but
I-
think
we'd
be
happy
to
reserve
the
city
of
a
25-foot
stripper
30
foot
strip
down
the
southern
property
line
to
get
to
the
rear
of
the
property
in
the
back,
which
is
now
the
trailer
park,
but
hopefully
soon
a
road.
Some
point
in
the
future.
You
know
it
opens
up
a
can
of
worms
for
somebody
to
deal
with
down
the
road
about
the
hydrology
of
that
road
and
it
has
impact
our
pond
and
does
impact
with
got
next
door,
and
that's
all
for
our
very.
K
D
F
J
We
can
share,
you,
know,
concepts
and
you
know.
Actually
we
should
be
getting
his
input
to
make
sure
that
you
know
he
can
fully
develop
his
property
to
our
detention
ponds
there.
As
he
said,
you
know,
connections
for
freight
that
need
to
be
coordinated,
so
we'll
schedule
a
meeting
where
engineer
we
have
working
on
the
concept
of
the
of
the
road
in
your
engineer
and
the
operative
site
will
come.
I
Up
with
a
I
like
his
terminology,
reserving
that
right,
I
wouldn't
go
I,
wouldn't
certainly
concurrently
cost
for
him
on
doing
any
engineering
at
this
current
time
and
go
to
a
whole
lot
of
work
with
a
slide
rule.
Just
simply
reserving
that
as
future
opportunity
for
connectivities
is
the
extended,
but
we
may
need
it
this
time.
So.
F
If
y'all,
if
you
know,
if
you
want
to
insert
as
a
condition
to
the
approving
the
development
agreement,
that
we
reserve
a
25-foot
strip
of
for
access
to
the
southeast
corner
of
the
southeast
corner
of
the
property
for
possible
future
extensions,
that
I
think
that's
fine,
though
you
know
we're
certainly
happy
to
commit
that
will
reserve
the
land
and
not
do
anything
to
it's.
Okay,.
F
I
I
rethought
it.
Do
it
do
I
need
to
make
it
as
a
motion
to
amend
it,
or
can
you
just
yell
all
right,
then?
I
would
add
to
the
motion
an
amendment
that
the
item
number
whatever
the
next
in
sequence-
would
be
at
it.
I,
don't
know
what
number
would
be
that
a
piece
of
property
25
feet
wyd
would
be
reserved
for
future
connectivity
at
the
southeast,
basically
rear
of
the
property.
I
L
L
C
I
A
Amendment
okay,
in
that
she
hands.
Okay,
now
back
to
the
original
question,
I'll
call
for
the
question:
okay,
just
to
be
clear
hungry.
This
is
the
ordinance
authorizing
the
city
of
akin
to
enter
into
a
development
agreement
with
him
bulk
properties,
LLC
involving
property
located
at
2270,
whiskey
road,
as
previously
amended
all
those
in
favor
paying
the
motion
approved
with
the
amendment.
Mr.

you
for
working
through
that.
