A
Good
morning,
I'd
like
to
bring
the
august
5th
2020
planning
advisory
commission
meeting
to
order,
please
rise
for
the
pledge
of
allegiance
and
the
flag
is
to
your
rear.
So
if
you'll
look
right
out
that
window
because
we're
missing
ours
here,
I
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag
of
the
united
states
of
america
and
to
the
republic
for
which
it
stands.
One
nation,
under
god,
indivisible
with
liberty
and
justice
for
all.
A
We
have
some
commissioners
that
are
watching
by
television
through
ccgtv
and
they'll,
be
forwarding
questions
to
me
via
text
and
I'll
be
reading
those
questions
if
they
have
any.
Actually,
we
have
two
they're
doing
that
we
will
have
citizens
calling
in
via
phone
with
questions
or
comments.
So
we
ask
those
watching
here
and
by
other
means
to
be
patient
with
us
as
we
move
these
cases
forward,
the
phone
number
in
which
to
call
in
is
706
225-3937
and
it
should
be
scrolling
on
your
screen
for
those
that
are
watching
electronically.
A
We
will
then
give
the
opportunity
for
anyone
the
audience
to
speak,
for
or
against
that
request
or
to
inquire
about
the
said
request.
The
commissioners
will
have
any
needed
discussion
on
the
case.
Once
a
motion
is
made
and
seconded
by
the
commission,
a
vote
will
take
place
and
a
recommendation
will
be
rendered.
The
case
will
go
back
to
the
planning
department
for
their
independent
recommendation.
A
If
the
planning
department
makes
a
recommendation
for
denial,
the
applicant
will
have
10
days
from
the
receipt
of
a
letter
stating
the
denial
to
notify
the
clerk
of
counsel
that
they
are
requesting
to
be
placed
on
the
city
council's
agenda.
The
city
council
of
columbus
will
hold
a
public
meeting
that
will
be
called
the
first
reading
said.
Council
will
consider
the
case
review
our
recommendation
and
the
planning
department's
recommendations
and
hear
discussion
on
the
matter.
A
A
Is
there
any
questions
regarding
those
minutes
or
any
changes
need
to
be
made,
and
I
don't
have
any
and
yes
I'll,
be
looking
at
my
phone,
because
that's
how
I'm
getting
my
questions
from
our
other
commissioners
all
right?
We
have
that
clear.
Our
first
case,
mr
john
renfro
lives
in
maple
ridge,
so
he's
going
to
be
recusing
himself
and
mr
johnson
will
be
taking
over
for
the
staff
report
this
morning.
A
Current
zoning
is
sfr
one
single-family
residential
one
and
neighborhood
commercial
proposed
zoning
is
general
commercial
gc
proposed
uses,
convenience
store
office
and
storage
jmc
flat
rock
partners
is
the
applicant.
This
property
is
located
in
council
district
6,
gary
allen,
we'll
hear
from
will
johnson
regarding
the
planning
department's
staff
report.
First,
please.
B
This
case
is
inconsistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan
planning
area
a
future
land
use
designation
is
neighborhood
commercial,
it
is
compatible
with
existing
land
uses.
The
property
does
not
lie
within
the
floodway
and
flood
plain
area.
The
developer
will
need
an
approved
drainage
plan
prior
to
issuance
of
a
site
development
permit.
The
property
is
served
by
all
city
services.
B
B
B
This
is
not
within
fort
bending's
notification
range.
This
is
not
a
dri
surrounding
zoning
to
the
north,
south
and
east,
to
the
north
and
south
is
sfr1
to
the
east,
is
sfr2
and
to
the
west
is
re1
90
property
owners
within
300
feet
of
the
subject.
Properties
were
notified
of
the
reasoning
request.
A
B
A
You,
mr
johnson
commissioners,
y'all,
have
any
questions
of
will
johnson
regarding
this
case
all
right.
The
person
that's
going
to
speak
on
behalf
of
this
case.
Would
you
please
come
forward
and
step
to
the
microphone
and
give
us
your
name
and
address
for
the
record
please
and
tell
us
what
you're
planning
to
do.
C
So
that
was
one
of
the
reasons
this
location
really
appealed
to
us
because
there's
a
lot
of
demand
from
people
right
around
that
neighborhood
and
we
felt
like
the
property
here
because
of
the
road
widening
and
because
of
the
long
range
plan
being
consistent
with
the
growth
in
the
gc
going
out
veterans
parkway
that
this
would
be
a
good
buffer
actually
to
a
lot
of
the
single-family
homes
that
back
up
to
us
I'll
show
you
a
site
plan
here.
A
D
A
A
A
C
The
veterans
parkway
access
right
here
when
we
we
don't
have
this
property.
That
is,
I
believe,
already
zoned
c3
there
neighborhood
commercial
and
our
plan
is
to
have
a
buffer
okay.
C
I
have
a
buffered
down
hancock
there
and
you
can
see
the
acquiring
the
land
over
here,
which
is
also
commercial
up
here
on
the
road
frontage
and
just
trying
to
minimize
the
impact
it
would
have
on
the
neighborhood,
the
houses
across
hancock
here
all
facing
towards
the
cul-de-sac.
So
we're
going
to
have
a
buffer
along
here
planted
buffer
on
the
back
of
these
buildings
right
here
and
trying
to
you
know
trying
to
make
it
something
we
would
be
proud
of
and
plan
on
owning
it
managing
it
long
term.
C
Something
if
you've
seen
where
a
business
has
a
storefront
there
and
they
still
have
a
roll-up
door
in
the
rear.
So
they
have
the
ability
to
have
service
trucks,
it
would
support
a
plumbing
or
an
electrical
company
or
some
other
small
business,
and
that
it's
a
first
step,
a
thousand
fifteen
hundred
square
feet
where
they
can
get
in
business,
have
a
storefront
and
yet
still
have
the
service
ability
with
the
roll-up
door
in
the
rear
to
keep
all
their
equipment.
C
That's
proven
to
be
a
very
effective
way
to
get
small
business
started
and
there's
a
good
bit
of
demand
in
columbus.
Not
not
everybody
can
build.
You
know,
starting
out
a
new
building
with
all
the
requirements.
This
allows
them
to
go
and
rent
a
space
for
a
two
or
three
year
period
and
some
of
them
you
know,
go
much
longer
than
that.
They
end
up
renting
two
units
or
three
units.
C
So
for
us,
that's
a
good
strategy
to
have
people
move
in
get
a
business
started
and
they
stay
there
for
a
long
time
and
all
of
this
to
try,
you
know
it
really
limits.
Traffic
is
will
pointed
out
in
the
report.
The
actual
traffic
counts
for
the
nature
of
a
self
storage,
or
that
the
trips
per
day
are
dramatically
less
than
would
it
be,
for
you
know
even
single
family
or
apartments,
or
anything
like
that,
which
you
know
might
be
viewed
as
more
adverse
I'd,
be
glad
to
answer
any
questions
that
y'all
have.
A
C
But
we
we
do
intend
to
do
not
only
the
buffer
requirements
that
the
overlay
district
requires,
but
you
know
typically,
we
do
more
than
that.
We
want
to
be.
You
know,
good
neighbors,
and
we
want
to
have
something
that
we're
proud
of
and
it's
easy
to
maintain
and.
A
C
If
we
were
to
do
that,
it
would
be
on
the
corner
here:
okay,
not
unlike
what
you
you've
already
got.
I
guess
two
c
stores
on
veterans
that
are
at
corners:
okay,.
E
The
property
that's
across
dekalb,
that's
part
of
this.
What's
the
future
plans
for
that.
C
We
have
approached
a
single
family
developer
about
doing
something
on
quarter,
acre
lots
of
townhouses
or
something
like
that.
D
A
A
A
All
I
ask,
is
we
don't
want
to
hear
over
and
over
the
same
thing,
if
someone,
if
you've
got
a
speaker,
that's
kind
of
designated
for
this,
that's
great,
but
if
you
have
something
new
to
add,
that's
even
great
too
so
who
who
would
like
to
come
up,
speak
on
behalf,
sir?
You
want
to
come
forward.
I
need
you
to
come
to
the
podium
and
state
your
name
for
the
record.
Please
and
your
address.
A
A
G
Okay,
can
you
hear
me?
Okay?
Yes,
sir
I'm
hank
holcomb,
I
live
at
4829
champions
way
in
maple
ridge.
G
I'm
very
concerned
about
this
because
I
do
traffic
out
this
way
quite
a
bit
from
where
I
live,
and
you
know
I
use
it
because
it's
convenient,
but
I'm
always
concerned.
There
are
a
lot
of
challenges
here
with
sight
line.
Safety
is
the
biggest
concern
here
and
a
lot
of
those
things
are
not
going
to
be
fixed
unless
you're
willing
to
spend
a
ton
of
money
on
redoing
all
these
roads.
G
G
This
entrance
down
here
I'll
tell
you
if,
even
if
you
do
recommend
approval
of
this,
this
entrance
and
exit
right
here
definitely
needs
to
be
disapproved
because
the
sight
lines
there
are
not
going
to
get
any
better
with
the
hills
and
so
forth
that
are
involved
here.
So
that's
that's
a
definite
concern
of
mine.
Having
used
this,
this
is
going
to
add
a
lot
more
traffic.
This
intersection
down
here
where
hancock
goes
into
veterans
right
now,
is
another
very
dangerous
intersection.
G
So
I
know
I'm
boring
you
by
telling
you
some
of
this.
I
get
the
idea,
but
this
is
very,
very
important.
In
addition,
the
folks
that
live
across
the
side
of
the
road
over
here-
this
is
not
much
of
a
buffer
really
is
not.
I
don't
know
how
many
feet
it
is,
but
they
bought
this
understanding
that
this
was
all
single-family
zoning
over
here,
and
I
think
they
would
be
very
concerned
about
that
and
concerned
about
the
noise
and
the
additional
traffic.
Thank
you.
Yes,.
A
Sir
commissioners,
do
you
have
any
questions
of
this
gentleman?
Anyone
dr
mccaskey.
H
Well,
I
just
want
to
know
how
many
people
are
here
that
are
against
the.
I
just
want
to
see
a
number
of
hands:
okay,.
A
Thank
you
all
right
to
be
fair.
How
many
are
here
that
are
for
this
case
to
go
forward?
I
got
you
all
right.
I've
had
I've
had
no
questions
is
anyone
else
would
like
to
come
forward
and
bring
something
you
to
please
come
forward.
You
can
either
come
over
here
or
go
right
there,
but
if
you
can
state
your
name.
F
F
F
I
don't
know
how
familiar
you
are
with
our
area.
As
you
look
at
the
veterans,
parkway
area,
that
is
a
major
connection
unit
between
north
columbus
and
south
harris
county.
Now,
that's
great.
Let
me
tell
you
first
of
all
we're
not
opposed
to
growth.
We
know
that
if
columbus
is
going
to
grow,
it's
got
to
grow
north
or
it's
got
to
grow
east
I
mean
that's
just
the
way
it
is,
but,
as
you
come
in
from
veterans
park,
oil
go
out
that
way.
F
It
is
a
very
highly
traveled
area.
The
area
displayed
here
is
where
it
becomes
from
two
lanes
into
four
lanes.
F
The
other
streets
here,
a
hancock
it
it's
a
what
I
would
call
a
blind
turn.
It
is
a
very
difficult
turn.
You
there's
a
sign
that
says
the
name
of
the
road
and
that's
it
so
you
have
to
know
what
you're
doing
then,
as
you
turn
to
the
east
on
either
one
of
these
roads,
it
becomes
the
thoroughfare
through
schaumburg
road.
Now,
when
you
get
to
schonburg,
you
also
are
picking
up
a
church,
private
school,
two
public
schools,
as
well
as
two
apartment
complexes
as
well
as
publix
and
several
restaurants.
F
So
I'm
saying
there's
a
awful
lot
of
traffic
on
a
two-lane
road.
Now,
at
certain
times
of
the
day,
it
is
very
difficult
to
turn
to
the
right.
If
you're
turning
to
the
right
coming
out
of
maple
bridge,
you
are
at
the
mercy
of
the
courtesy
of
the
drivers
to
let
you
ease
in
which
they
really
try
to
help
you.
If
you're
trying
to
turn
left,
it
is
almost
impossible
so
because
of
the
additional
traffic
we
are
very
concerned.
F
F
What
survey
has
been
done
to
show
that
we
need
that
from
what
is
being
said,
two
people
could
have
asked.
I
don't
know
what
the
amount
of
storage
available
in
columbus
is
convenience
stores.
We
have
many
convenience
stores
in
our
area.
F
So
we
would
also
question
that,
like
I
said
we're
not
opposed
to
growth,
we
understand
that,
but
we
would
ask
you
to
have
consideration
for
that.
The
fire
department
needs
easy
access
now,
there's
a
traffic
light
there
and
you
can
get
out.
I
mean
it's
not
that
one
apartment
complex
has
to
turn
to
the
right
cross
over
the
lanes
of
traffic
to
make
a
u-turn
to
go
back
south.
F
Now
that
happened
when
veterans
was,
was
widened
and
we're
thankful
that
looks
as
good
as
it
does,
but
it
still
is
a
concern
for
those
people
as
they
come
out.
So
we
would
ask
you
to
please
take
those
matters
in
consideration
as
you
contemplate.
What
to
do
all.
A
A
Thank
you,
ma'am,
I'm
going
to
ask
if
they
have
any
questions
for
you.
First
any
questions.
A
I
did
have
a
question
that
came
up
on
the
text
from
mr
james
dudley,
who
normally
sits
here
to
my
right
and
when
will
the
veterans
parkway
or
do
you
have
any
idea
when
the
veterans
parkway
may
be
widened
from
two
to
four
lanes
going
out
beyond
hancock.
B
B
F
A
A
B
It
depends
on
the
lots,
the
number
of
lots-
I
would
say
this
small
of
an
area-
10
acres-
probably
going
to
generate
more
commercially
than
single
family
or
multi-family,
but
with
most
of
it
being
mini
storage,
that
is
about
the
lowest
traffic
generator.
You
can
have
okay,
but
if
it
was
full-blown
gc
you
I
mean
you
can't
have
the
c
store
with
gas
in
nc,
so
that
generates
more
traffic
and
of
course
you
could
have
retail
and
all
kinds
of
other
things
that
generate
high.
B
Well,
they
did
everything
generated
high
traffic
before
march,
but
we
still
calculated
that
way.
I
got
you.
A
So
we're
looking
a
couple
of
years
before
they
start
the
other.
Apparently,
is
there
any
other
questions,
commissioners
that
you
may
have.
B
A
I
do
have
one
other
question
who
who
I
I
I
know-
we've
got
four
developments
out
that
way:
arbor
ridge,
anyone
from
arbor
ridge
here,
okay,
any
how
many
are
from
maple
ridge.
Will
you
raise
your
hand
all
right
and
water
stone
anybody
here
from
waterstone,
which
is
another
subdivision?
A
I
wrote
them
all
down
when
I
was
out
there
yeah
it
could
that's
just
possible.
You
could
have
not
reached
out
beyond
the
300
foot,
but
the
signs
are
up.
I'm
sure
you've
seen
those
and
anyone
else
that
lives
close
to
this
is
not
in
any
of
the
subdivisions.
Maybe
okay.
We
have
one
here
all
right
and
anyone
in
the
apartment
complexes
that
are
joining
this.
A
A
A
I
I
A
I
A
I
So
I
do
have
some
concerns.
I
The
lay
of
the
land
in
that
area
really
is
kind
of
because
one
road
goes
this
way.
The
other
one
goes
this
way
and
then
there's
hancock.
Okay,
you
you're
dealing
with
three
roads.
Well,
one
hancock
is
an
extension
that
goes
towards
veterans,
so,
but
the
blind
spots
are
there
everything
that
was
presented
us
there.
I
just
want
to
reinforce
after
talking
to
neighbors
and
so
on,
the
opposition
to
this
plan,
because
it's
it's
not
a
good
plan
for
the
neighborhood
in
general.
H
I
heard
you
say
the
roles
are
congested.
Have
there
been
a
lot
of
accidents
or
what
brought
your
concern
about?
The
roadways.
I
I
I
A
B
J
And
your
name,
my
name,
I'm
sorry,
my
name's
scott
bryan.
I
live
at
10,
23
and
brier
lane
and
my
house
is
right
there
looking
across
at
the
can.
J
We
you
know,
we
we
bought
that
house
with
the
understanding
that
it
could
be
developed
as
a
subdivision
behind
us
or
single
fellow
family
homes,
but
we
moved
there
11
years
ago
to
make
that
our
retirement
home
there's
no
way
if
this
development
goes
in
that
we
would
stay
there,
I'm
sure
we're
going
to
have
security
lights
now,
shining
in
our
backyard.
What
we've
been
used
to,
of
course,
is
looking
across
at
a
green
space.
J
What
we
see
with
the
fence
being
there
is
trees
and
other
type
things.
What
we
will
be
seeing
now
are
warehouses
security
lights,
probably
letting
us
enjoy
the
development
all
night
long.
As
far
as
I
know,
there's
also
up
there.
If
you
can
see
a
retainment
basin
for
water
runoff,
that
would
be
a
great
mosquito
breeding
ground.
We
have.
J
J
But
if
you
look
at
the
other
side,
as
I
understand
that's,
being
rezoned
as
well
at
the
other
side
of
the
cab,
road
doesn't
have
anything
on
it
at
the
present
time,
but
then
that
that's
going
to
extend
whatever
goes
in
there,
whether
it's
convenience
store
or
whatever
the
plans
are
for
it.
That's
going
to
extend
all
the
way
down
to
the
entrance
into
canusti,
which
is
the
entrance
into
maple
lane
maple
ridge,
on
the
what
direction
that
north
side
and
that's
going
to
be
a
visual
mess.
J
I'm
I'm
in
agreement
that
hancock
is
not
able
to
support
the
traffic.
It
currently
has
much
less
adding
additional
traffic
to
it.
But
I
guess
that's
the
main
thing
there
there's
there's
there
is
a
lake
down
there
and
it
looks
like
the
retainment
basin
will
run
all
that
water
down
to
that
lake.
But
that's
not
on
my
property
is
on
some
other
folks,
but
my
concern
is
a
little
more
intimate
than
just
what
traffic
what
it's
like
getting
out
on
schoenberg
and
that
type
thing.
J
K
L
My
name's
catherine
gant,
I
live
in
the
promenades,
88
57
promenade
place,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
the
same
issues
and
one
of
our
concerns
is
the
strip
on
the
opposite
side.
That
is
shows
no
idea
of
what
they
plan
to
put
there.
Well,
that
strip
backs
up
to
our
neighborhood
and
we
already
have
traffic
issues
with
entrance
into
our
subdivision
from
the
other
side
charleston
place
and
that
extended
development
further
down
the
road.
L
L
There
are
at
least
six
storage
lots
within
five
miles
of
this
site,
there's
at
least
six
other
convenience
stores
within
three
miles
and
we're
just
concerned
about
noise
pollution,
light
pollution,
property
values
and
the
traffic
the
traffic
is
already
terrible
and
anyway.
So
I
think
everybody
has
addressed
some
of
the
same
issues,
so
I'm
not
going
to
belabor
it.
But
that's
our
concerns
too.
Thank.
A
D
L
M
It
is
really
crazy
at
times
and
we
bought
that
house
as
a
retirement
home.
You
know
no
stairs
etc,
and
it
was
the
perfect
home
at
the
time.
But
now
there
are
also
three
churches.
I
know
firsthand
because
I
attend
one
of
the
churches,
the
one
on
hancock
and
there's
things
that
go
on
all
during
the
week.
There's
a
blind
spot.
We
used
to
be
able
to
walk
from
our
house
to
church,
especially
when
we
had
the
grandchildren
and
rather
than
you
know,
from
out
of
town
rather
than
load
them
up
in
the
car.
M
We
would
just
take
a
little
nature
walk
to
church.
You
can't
do
that
anymore.
The
traffic
has
become
so
bad
and
I
just
fear
that
it's
going
to
make
it
worse,
it's
a
cut
through.
We
use
it
as
a
cut
through
ourselves
to
go
from.
You
know
we
come
out
of
the
neighborhood,
go
on
the
cab
to
hit
the
interstate
going
north,
and
I
know
a
lot
of
people
do
that.
There's
a
new
convenience
store
at
the
corner
of
wooldridge
and
veterans,
which
you
know
serves
a
lot
of
people
headed
that
way.
M
You
know
out
of
town
or
up
into
harris
county,
and
it
just
to
me
it
just
doesn't
make
sense
to
do
that
at
this
particular
location.
That
triangle
right
there
between
hancock
and
dekalb,
is
not
it's
just
a
small
area,
and
it
already,
you
know,
suffers
from
traffic.
So
I
hope
you'll
take
that
in
consideration.
Thank.
A
You
any
questions
all
right
is
there
anyone
else
like
to
add
something
to
this
conversation
please
come
forward.
I'm
sorry
I
haven't.
Is
anyone
from
veterans
parkway
out
that
that
lives
on
veterans
parkway?
No
okay,
I'd
like
to
bring
mr
florin
back
up,
there's
a
few
questions
that
they
have
and
I
have
a
question
from
online
from
one
of
our
commissioners.
A
If
you
would
please,
sir
of
course
our
first
question
is
the
number
of
storage
units
you're
proposing
security
lights.
You
know,
garbage
is
another
issue
address
those
issues
if
you
will,
but
one
of
my
first
questions
is:
have
you
ever
contacted
the
homeowners
association
and
talked
to
them
at
maple
ridge
individually
or
with
the
young
lady
right
over
there?
Okay.
C
No,
no,
I
I
didn't
realize
that
they
would
have
a
problem
with
this
location.
This
is
in
fact
we
called
to
see
if
there
was
any
opposition
at
the
planning
department,
and
I
don't
think
at
that
time
they
didn't
have
any
so
this
this
was
surprising
to
me.
We
actually
we
thought
this
was
less
impact,
doing
something
like
this
than
what
would
normally
happen
on
veterans,
parkway
and
in
the
long-range
plan.
C
Having
you
know,
commercial
businesses
thanking
the
storage
facility
and
it
would
be
climate
controlled,
and
we
initially
we
we're
looking
at
about
100
units
trying
to
keep
the
sizes
a
little
bit
bigger
and
that's
been
a
success
formula
on
fountain
court.
The
occupancy
there
has
been
full
with
a
waiting
list,
and
I
forget
who
had
the
question
about
the
demand,
but
there
is
quite
a
significant
waiting
list
and
the
number
of
people
that
live
further
out
actually
in
harris
county
and
the
northern
part
of
muskogee
county
constitute
the
majority
of
the
customers,
particularly.
A
And
that
probably
wouldn't
be
a
bad
idea,
I'm
sure
saints
the
church.
The
presbyterian
church
would
mind
you
meeting
there
or
something
at
some
point,
but
anyhow
one
of
my
commissioners,
mr
greenblatt,
has
asked:
could
you
be
flexible
on
how
you
move
and
rearrange
on
that
plan?
I
know.
That's.
Probably
your
preliminary
plan,
I'm
thinking.
C
Well,
I'm
I'm
somewhat
amazed
at
the
the
number
of
problems
there
with
the
site
distances
and
things
like
that.
That,
in
my
mind,
could
be
alleviated
immediately,
not
only
with
our
plan
but
with
the
cooperation
of
the
city
and
the
other
property
owners
that
are
there
that
I
wouldn't
necessarily
have
control
over
what
they
did.
But
I
think
if,
if
we
go
in
here,
obviously
lighting
is
something
that
I'm
very
sensitive
to
and
lights
are
expensive.
C
So
all
of
our
lights
are
typically
focused
inward,
so
that
they
don't
blast
light
out
into
a
neighborhood
it's
expensive
to
do
that.
It
doesn't
really
benefit
you.
So
our
concern
is,
to
you
know,
keep
everything
very
secure
and
and
not
be
a
nuisance
to
the
neighborhood.
We
want
the
people
in
the
neighborhood
to
be
our
customers,
so
we
don't
want
to
be
offensive
and
the
nicer
it
looks
and
the
more
attractive
and
the
better
it's
maintained.
C
The
more
secure
people
feel
so
it's
a
it's
a
hand
in
glove,
and
we
we
stay
involved
with
projects
from
beginning
to
30
40,
I'm
still
in
stuff.
I
did
when
I
was
a
kid
and
I
don't
plan
on
you
know
going
anywhere,
but
I
do
understand,
y'all's
concern
about
the
traffic
and
I
think
we'd
be
willing
to
work
with
the
city,
I'm
working
with
the
city
now
on
highway
improvements
and
road
improvement,
signage
and
getting
those
problems
resolved.
C
A
Right,
okay,
so
I
think
I
think
you've
addressed
everything.
The
convenience
store
would
be
similar
to
what
we
see
at
walters
road.
I
did
observe
that
when
I
wrote
out
that
way,
it
would.
C
And
and
obviously
we
have
a
great
concern
that
that
be
a
nice
store
and
be
operated
well
and
we
find
the
right
operator
and
because
I'm
gonna
be
a
neighbor
with
them
for
a
long
time
and
directly
adjoining
them.
So
a
dumpster
location
to
somebody's
point
is
something
very
critical
to
me.
I
want
to
make
sure
it's
in
a
area:
that's
not
going
to
be
seen
by
outside
people.
I
don't
want
trash
getting
outside
of
it
being
closed.
C
Obviously-
and
someone
mentioned
about
the
pond-
that
would
be
a
dry
pond,
not
one
that
would
be
a
retention
pond.
It
would
be
to
slow
water
down
only
during
that
first
hour
of
a
hard
rain.
So
and
those
are
we
we're
required
by
the
city
to
maintain
those
at
a
real
high
level,
you
have
to
cut
them
and
keep
them
free
of
standing
water.
Typically.
E
C
C
C
E
C
C
I
think
in
my
mind
that's
probably
would
be
an
expansion
area
if,
if
demand
went
up,
we'd
do
more
storage
units
there
behind
the
commercial
property,
that's
up
on
the
veterans
parking.
C
A
N
Please
fowler
8729
palazzo
place.
I
live
in
the
promenade
and
I
just
want
to
say
we
talk
about
all
these
storage
units
and
everything.
Well,
I
used
to
live
in
maple
ridge.
Most
of
the
people
who
live
in
maple
ridge
have
nice
big
homes.
They
don't
need
storage
units
when
I
moved
from
maple
ridge
to
the
promenade,
which
is
they
consider
those
like
a
condo
home.
N
I
downsized
big
time
got
rid
of
all
my
stuff.
I
didn't
need
a
storage
all
these
ladies
here
they
downsized.
N
They
don't
need
storage
units.
The
promenades
is
not
consented
to
senior
citizens,
but
all
of
us
who
live
there
are
50
and
older.
Most
of
us
are
retired
a
lot
of
single
ladies.
N
They
do
not
need
people
coming
in
and
out
of
storage
units
at
10
11
o'clock
at
night
they're
there
by
themselves.
We
don't
need
these
storage
units
most
of
us.
We
all
agree.
We
got
rid
of
all
of
our
stuff,
there's
60
homes
there
we
don't
need
anything.
We
don't
need
storage
units
most
of
the
people
who
live
in
mayberry.
They
don't
need
the
storage
units
and
we're

in

you

bay,

third

gotcha.
Thank
you.
I
forgot
that
this
piece
property
is
the
current
or
was
a
former
sonova's
bank
branch
on
10th
avenue
across
sort
of
across
from
the
hospital.
P
P
The
property
in
the
north
is
gc
property
to
the
south
is
gc
property
to
the
east
is.
If
you
look
up
here
it's
to
your
right,
it
is
currently
rmf2,
as
staff
indicated,
property
across
the
street
is
ro
that
would
be
to
the
west,
but
to
the
southwest.
There
is
gc,
also
so
we're
kind
of
sandwiched
in
between
some
gc.
P
The
proposed
use
is
a
c
store
with
a
gas
station.
If
you
look
on
the
site
plan,
they're
going
to
use
the
existing
facilities
as
much
as
possible,
so
the
existing
bank
branch
will
current
will
become
the
c
store
they're
going
to
take
down
the
the
drive-through,
which
is
closer
to
the
gc
to
the
north.
Coming
off
the
north
side
of
the
building
and
put
in
some
gas
pumps,
they
are
willing
to
to
kind
of
buffer
the
rmf2
or
rmf4.
I
think
it
is
to
the
to
the
east
side
with
a
wooden
fence.
P
It's
going
to
be
difficult
to
get
a
30,
30
foot
buffer
because
it's
currently
paved
up
to
about
10
feet
right
now
with
the
bank
branch,
so
they
will
put
in
some
additional
plantings
to
screen
that
and
we
have
ron
crump
here.
Who
is
the
engineer
for
the
project
I'm
going
to?
Let
him
kind
of
walk
you
through
what
they
plan
to
do.

may

the
actual
bank
drive
through
so
you'll
get
some
changes
like
that
to
the
general
building,
but
overall,
the
character
of
it
is
going
to
stay
highly,
as
is
the
required
screening,
as
mr
mckenna
was
pointing
out
there,
so
we've
given
the
buffer.
Unfortunately,
right
now,
everything
is
paved
so
we're
holding
to
that
kind
of
pavement
line
and
we're
going
to
create
the
buffer.
Q
Q
All
these
gas
stations
now
they're
using
the
latest
in
fuel
technology,
so
the
epd
really
requires
a
lot
of
things
like
double
walled
tanks,
all
the
shutoff
valves,
the
added
securities
for
the
vapor
barriers.
So
you
know
the
the
problems
a
lot
of
people
had
with
these
older
gas
stations
you're
not
seeing
that
in
today's
fueling
services
anymore.
Q
Q
With
the
traffic
scenario,
you
know,
we've
always
found
in
the
ite
code
that
fuel
stations
really
are
not
a
destination;
they
don't
bring
traffic
to
the
area
they
capitalize
purely
on
capturing
that
pass
by
traffic.
They
know
this
is
a
prime
corner.
They've
done
their
fuel
study,
they've
known
that
this
location
is
going
to
do
the
sales
that
they're
projecting
based
on
all
of
their
surroundings,
the
other
fuel
stations
in
the
area,
so
that
they've
already
kind
of
looked
at
that.
Q
E
I
assume
this
is
going
to
be
a
24
7
convenience.
Okay,
thank
you.
D
H
H
A
Q
They
are
out
of
atlanta,
yes,
they're,
a
national
group
that
does
work
all
throughout
georgia,
and
the
very
first
thing
they
ever
do
is
what
they
call
fuel
study,
where
they
look
at
all
the
other
sales,
from
the
stores
around
them
project
that
out
with
the
homes
and
all
the
business
traffic
and
what
is
actually
moving
along
the
streets.
And
then
they
use
that
to
kind
of
say
well
we're
going
to
cannibalize
a
little
bit
from
here.
A
A
R
D
A
S
S
The
gentleman
I
have
34
years
in
law
enforcement
and
to
think
a
camera
is
going
to
stop
crying
a
camera,
may
help
you
determine
who
committed
a
crime
but
they're
in
no
way
to
stop
crimes.
No
way
a
convenience
store
in
that
area,
he
said
is
a
necessity.
I
I
take
issue
with
that,
but
I've
gone.
I've
walked
the
neighborhood.
S
There
are
owners
and
residents
of
11
pieces
of
property
in
that
block
that
I've
talked
to
that
are
against
it.
The
people
that
have
to
live
there
and
interact
with
it
on
a
daily
basis.
The
people
that
will
have
to
deal
with
the
type
of
individuals
that
frequent
a
24-hour
convenience
store,
the
others
in
columbus.
They
they
just
draw
and
generate
crime.
S
If
I
may
ask
did
y'all
have
y'all
seen
the
letter
from
piedmont.
Yes,
okay
just
want
to
make
sure
you
knew
that
the
hospital
had
their
objections
to
it.
Also
right.
The
zoning
is
not
the
issue
as
much
as
the
convenience
store
we
feel
like.
It
would
just
be
detrimental
to
the
whole
neighborhood,
the
people
that
live
there
and
detrimental
to
the
other
people
that
are
trying
to
maintain
all
doctor's
offices
and
other
business
offices
in
the
area.
S
A
A
T
Address
my
name's
ralph,
frank
and
you
could
sit
on
my
front
porch
and
look
straight
in
the
front
door
to
bank
and
what
used
to
be
a
bank.
T
If
you
could
appreciate
the
humor
in
this
their
last
day
that
they
were
open,
I
told
them
I
said
now:
I
get
to
worry
about
who's
gonna
move
in
across
the
street
from
me
you
know
if
you've
seen
my
place,
you
know
it's
not
a
normal
looking
place
and
I'm
gonna
live
and
let
live
kind
of
person.
T
But
you
know,
just
like
mr
denson
stated
you
know
the
24
7
it'd
be
one
thing:
if
it
was,
you
know
they
closed
the
needle,
but
you
know
convenience
store
that
kind
of
defeats,
the
purpose
of
the
convenience.
You
know
the
most
convenient
stores,
that's
how
they
operate.
T
It's
like
you
got
the
shell
station,
a
block
and
a
half
from
me
and
how
many
times
that
been
robbed
or
some
of
the
stuff
you
know
ordered,
and
what
have
you,
but
anyway
life's
full
of
change,
and
you
know
I'd
like
to
see
anything
else
go
in
there.
Besides
a
convenience
store,
you
know
my
place
is
for
sale,
I
don't
own
it,
I'm
just
a
resident,
so
you
know,
if
my
opinion
counts
for
anything.
T
You
know
I'd
hate
to
be
y'all
sitting
in
a
hot
seat
and
make
choices
that
affect
other
people
like
the
group
that
was
just
here,
I
feel
for
them,
but
anyway
anyway,
I'm
against
it,
but
y'all
got
to
do
what
you
got
to
do.
I.
A
Can
staff
this
is
a
question
from
mr
greenblatt.
He
says:
can
you
address
the
letter
from
piedmont,
regional,
please.
K
Okay,
I'm
writing
to
present
piedmont,
columbus,
regionals
opposition
to
the
above
reference
rezoning
request.
I
am
sure
the
planet
advisory
commission
is
where
piedmont,
columbus,
regional,
operates
the
region's
largest
hospital
and
has
a
direct
interest
in
the
property
that
surrounds
the
hospital
and
adjacent
medical
offices.
There
is
no
doubt
that
a
large
portion
of
the
general
area
along
10th
avenue
is
dedicated
to
health
care.
In
fact,
the
subject
property
is
located
in
very
close
proximity
to
the
hospital's
emergency
department,
which
is
comprised
of
both
the
general
general
emergency
department
and
the
pediatric
emergency
department.
K
Excuse
me
placing
a
convenience,
store
and
or
a
liquor
store
on
this
property
would
not
be
in
keeping
with
the
general
land
use
in
the
area
and
would
be
directly
contrary
to
the
overall
health
care
mission
of
the
piedmont
club
of
pima
columbus,
regional.
Furthermore,
their
ample
available
convenience
stores
and
or
liquor
stores,
currently
located
outside
the
general
healthcare
district
and
therefore
placing
a
convenience,
store
and
or
liquor
store
on
this
property
is
unnecessary.
K
Finally,
piedmont,
columbus,
regional,
midtown
return
return
routinely
treats
individuals
who
present
for
substance
abuse
as
well
as
general
health
care
issues
related
to
substance
abuse.
Accordingly,
it
is
not
difficult
to
see
why
allowing
a
convenience
store
and
or
liquor
store,
essentially
out,
the
back
door
of
the
emergency
department
would
be
inappropriate.
K
I
certainly
appreciate
appreciate
the
commission's
consideration
of
the
correspondence
in
this
deliberations
on
the
proposed
rezoning
request.
Should
you
or
any
other
member
of
the
commission
have
any
questions
or
concerns?
Please
do
not
hesitate
to
contact
me.
That's
from
scott
hill,
the
ceo
of
piedmont,
columbus.
