A
A
Thank
you
and
before
we
get
started,
I
would
like
to
remind
those
in
the
audience
to
please
silence
your
cell
phones
or
turn
them
off.
Since
we
are
on
live
feed,
we
will
want
to
remind
the
audience
that
we
will
be
hearing
all
of
our
zoning
and
text
change
and
special
accepting
exception
cases
today
are
coming
to
us.
For
the
first
time
we
will
hear
a
staff
reading
of
the
case
by
the
planning
staff
and
then
ask
the
applicant
to
provide
a
brief
overview
of
the
request.
A
We
will
then
give
the
opportunity
for
anyone
in
the
audience
to
speak
for
or
against
the
request,
and
then
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
then
go
back
to
the
Planning
Department
for
their
independent
recommendation.
If
a
favorable
recommendation
is
given,
then
the
case
is
forwarded
to
the
City
Council,
with
two
independent
recommendations.
A
If
the
Planning
Department
makes
a
recommendation
for
denial,
the
applicant
will
have
ten
days
from
the
receipt
of
a
letter
stating
a
denial
to
notify
the
Clerk
of
Council
that
they
are
requesting
to
be
placed
on
the
City
Council's
agenda.
The
City
Council
of
Columbus
will
hold
a
public
meeting
called
the
first
reading
and
the
said
council
shall
consider
the
case,
review
pack
and
Planning
Department
recommendations
and
hear
discussion
on
the
matter,
and
then
the
council
will
make
a
final
decision
at
a
second
meeting
called
the
second
reading.
A
We
do
have
minutes
that
were
sent
out
to
the
commissioners
for
our
June
20th
meeting.
If
we
do
not
have
any
changes
or
additions
that
need
to
be
made
to
these
minutes,
we
can
submit
them
as
approved,
but
I
do
want
to
ask
commissioners:
are
there
any
changes
or
additions
that
need
to
be
made?
No
I
see
none.
So
we
will
submit
those
as
approved,
and
thank
you
for
that.
A
So
we've
got
two
cases
today
on
we'll
go
ahead
and
and
dive
into
our
very
first
one,
which
is
our

and
this
is
a
request
to
rezone

point
three
acres
of
land
located
at
old

Road.
The
current
zoning
is

is

and
the

is

The
proposed

and
George
Mize
is
the
applicant.
This
property
is
located
in

Mr.
Renfro

read
the

First,

The

The

C
A
D
C
The
applicant
meant
me
and
his
presentation
can
cover
that,
but
just
as
far
as
our
from
what
we
noticed,
the
the
traffic
will
be
going
opposite
of
school
traffic,
but
both
in
the
morning
and
in
the
evening,
so
there's
not
going
to
be
a
traffic
impact
front
from
the
development
there.
As
far
as
school
I
believe,
there's
going
to
be
roughly
nine.
Okay
I
can
address
that
quick.
D
A
B
Right
good
morning,
my
name
is
George
my
eyes,
I'm
with
the
law
firm
of
Page
crinum.
Of
course,
your
applicant,
but
I
represent
the
developer,
which
is
gray
stone
properties.
Certainly
one
of
the
most
well
respected
local
developers,
having
developed
over
4,000
multifamily
units
and
2,000
single
family
lights.
This
developer
specializes
in
high-end,
upscale,
residential
developer
developments,
the
managing
member
of
this
business
based
on
properties,
mr.
Wilhite,
had
to
be
out
of
town
and
couldn't
be
with
us
today.
Our
surveyors
and
engineers
and
moon
meets
Mason
and
Vincent.
B
Again,
one
of
the
most
well
respected
surveying
engineering
firms
in
the
region
and
the
traffic
we
had
Trent.
We
engaged
a
traffic
engineer,
Wilburn
engineering,
mr.
firm
will
burn
out
of
Newnan
Georgia
Vern
has
many
years
of
experience
and
has
worked
with
dozens
of
cities
in
this
state
and
throughout
the
region
and
has
done
a
substantial
amount
of
work
with
Columbus
himself.
B
The
proposed
development
is
consistent
and
compatible
with
surrounding
land
uses
to
the
west
and
adjacent
to
the
property
is
his
old
town,
which
has
a
substantial
amount
now,
certainly
in
the
future,
have
a
substantial
amount
of
multifamily.
Also
in
the
immediate
vicinity,
you've
got
other
apartment
complexes,
Walden,
Pond
apartments,
Summit,
point,
luxury
apartments
and
villas.
You
got
great
stone
at
the
crossings.
You've
also
got
low
water
apartments.
You've
got
plenty
of
apartments
in
the
area
to
have
consistent
use.
What
my
clients
proposing
to
do
is
put
in
a
high-end
upscale,
multifamily
development.
B
The
proposed
development
will
be
very
similar
to
what
other
developments
mr.
white
has
done
in
the
area,
including
Graystone
farms,
Graystone
farm
reserve,
gray,
stone
summit
and
gray
stone.
The
Columbus
Park
will
just
give
you
an
idea
of
what
the
quality
of
the
development
we're
talking
about.
That's
great
stone,
Columbus
Park
has
gray
stone
summit.
This
is
like
Columbus
Park
again,
and
this
is
a
picture,
the
obviously
the
exercise
we're
in
that
River
chasing
Phoenix
City.
Just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
the
quality
of
product
that
grey
stone
does
I.
B
Think
you'll
agree
with
me
we're
talking
about
very
attractive
developments.
The
specific
product
that
they're
proposing
to
put
in
this
case
is
going
to
be
similar.
What
they're
doing
right
now
in
Knoxville
Tennessee
at
Greystone
point
also
similar
to
what
they're
doing
in
Gulf
Breeze
Florida
at
Greystone
Summit
and
also
the
most
recent
one
in
Leesburg
Georgia,
which
is
just
north
of
Albany
Georgia
at
Greystone
in
Oakland,
but
you
get
an
idea
of
what
we're
talking
about
in
the
quality
of
the
development.
We're
going
to
be
doing.
B
The
project
is
starting
to
be
well
buffered,
in
accordance
with
the
you
do,
in
addition,
because
the
dramatic
topography
of
this
particular
property
and
what
mr.
white
told
me
specifically
is
he
might
want
to
do
something
special.
As
he's
proposing
to
develop
this
property
at
much
less
density
than
the
RO
classification
would
allow.
B
Currently,
he
plans
to
put
in
256
units,
which
is
about
15
percent
of
what
the
you
do
would
allow,
and
although
the
reduction
in
density
is
due
primarily
to
the
dramatic
topography,
it's
also
consistent
with
the
developers
development
patterns
of
putting
in
high
scale
less
dense
developments
in
anticipation
of
traffic
questions
or
concerns.
We
did
engage
a
traffic
engineer
to
study
the
situation
to
see
what,
if
any
impact
the
development
might
have
on
the
transportation
network.
Consistent,
we
think
with
what
the
staff
reported
the
traffic
analysis
concluded.
B
There
would
be
no
substantial
impact
to
the
traffic
transportation
network.
In
fact,
delay
times
would
be
increased
by
0.6
seconds
and
the
level
of
service,
both
at
the
intersection
of
old
guard
Brook
old
guard
Road
in
Veterans
Parkway,
as
well
as
American,
Way
and
Veterans
Parkway
would
remain
the
same.
I
think
it's
a
sea
of
B
and
na,
depending
on
the
the
peak
time
that
you're
talking
about
and
what
John
was
talking
about.
B
It's
like
two
ships
in
the
night
in
the
morning
is
the
school
traffic's
coming
in
the
apartment,
traffic's
leaving
in
an
afternoon
when
the
apartment
traffic's
come
in
home,
school
traffic's
already
gone,
so
I
think
that's
kind
of
what
John
was
alluding
to
a
few
minutes
ago.
As
far
as
school
capacity
is
concerned,
we
believe
the
capacity
is
sufficient
to
handle
the
number
of
children
that
might
be
generated
by
this
development
according
to
planning
staff
and
I
think
they
get
their
numbers
from
the
school
district.
B
You
can
count
on
about
15
children
being
generated
as
a
result
of
this
development
and,
according
to
my
conversation,
was
an
official
at
the
Scott
County
School
District.
This
property
would
be
serviced
by
North,
Columbus
Elementary,
a
Veterans
Memorial
middle
as
well
as
North
Scott,
North,
Side,
High,
School
and
I've
got
a
chart
here,
showing
you
capacity,
enrollments,
okay
and,
as
you
can
see,
Ralph
about
in
middle
school
in
high
school
have
plenty
of
capacity
to
deal
with
the
15
children
and
you've
got
the
North
Columbus
elementary
school.
B
Exceeding
this
technical
capacity
by
a
little
bit,
I
talked
to
the
officials
at
the
Scott
County
School
District,
and
what
they
say
is
the
fact
that
you've
got
enrollment
in
excess
of
technical
technical
capacity
is
certainly
not
unusual,
and
when
it's
dis
amount,
that's
not
going
to
raise
any
red
flags
or
any
concerns.
He
didn't
really
see
it
as
a
problem
and
what
you've
got
you've
got.
15
kids
spread
out
over
three
schools.
12
grades,
numerous
classrooms.
B
The
development
have
very
positive
economic
impact
of
the
city
in
its
citizens,
including,
obviously,
the
creation
of
construction
job
during
the
18
months,
build-out
process,
together
with
substantial
increase
in
business
for
local
supplier,
subcontractors,
electricians
and
others
that
support
the
construction
industry
and
then
we'll
course
wants
to
build.
The
development
is
done,
you'll
have
permanent
jobs.
You
also
have
permanent
business
created
for
third-party
vendors.
That
are
providing
services
like
maintenance,
carpet,
cleaning
and
replacement
landscaping,
painting
just
to
name
a
few
of
the
trades.
B
There
also
be
a
substantial
increase
in
the
tax
base
of
raveloe
and
tax
purposes,
thereby
again
providing
an
economic
return
to
the
city
without
affecting
or
adversely
affecting
any
material
in
any
material
way
any
infrastructure
or
requiring
any
additional
investment
on
the
city's
part,
and
this
particular
case
this
is
pretty
dramatic.
In
this
particular
case.
We
anticipate
property
taxes
going
from
fifty
three
hundred
dollars
a
year
to
about
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year,
so
we're
talking
about
a
very
substantial
increase
in
tax
revenues
to
the
city.
B
In
addition,
as
far
as
sales
taxes
go,
the
city
will
have
a
boon,
at
least
on
the
front
end
I
mean
you
have
initial
surge
in
sales
tax
receipt.
When
you
have
the
purchase
of
millions
of
dollars
of
construction
materials,
we
believe
our
our
application
and
request
meet
all
the
requirements
for
rezoning.
The
auto
classification
is
certainly
consistent,
compatible
surrounding
land
uses
all
public
facilities
and
infrastructure
located
at
the
site.
B
We
know
negative
impact
of
those
facilities
and
infrastructure
and
parad
traffic
analysis
is
not
going
to
be
negative
impact
to
the
traffic
transportation
network
we
developed.
We
believe
this
development
has
great
benefits
to
this
community,
both
the
creation,
job
creation
and
tax
revenue
generation.
Therefore,
we
request
you
to
approve
the
application
and
recommend
approval
to
Council
I'll,
be
happy
to
try
to
answer
any
questions.
Commissioners.
D
Okay,
okay,
you
talked
about
as
far
as
the
traffic
about
ships
passing
in
the
night.
The
way
the
roads
are
said
if
it
looks
like
everybody
coming
from
outside
to
going
to
the
schools,
turns
on
old
guard
Road
and
then
turns
left
to
go
into
the
schools,
and
they
would
have
to
cross
all
the
traffic
coming
out
from
people
living
in
the
development.
So
it
seems
like
there
would
be
if
it
were.
If
the
road
were
going
up.
The
other
side
and
people
coming
from
veterans
would
turn
right
to
go
to
the
schools.
B
See
what
you're
saying
I
just
you
know:
I,
don't
know
that
the
traffic
generated
at
the
time
periods
you're
talking
about
I.
Really,
not
even
you
know,
the
schools
are
staggered
as
to
when
they
open
it's.
My
understanding
and
I.
Don't
have
the
specifics,
but
I
think
like
the
high
school
opens
early
the
middle
school
opens
and
into
and
then
the
elementary
school
opens.
So
you'll
have
staggered
times
anyway.
So
I
hear
what
you're
saying
I
just
don't
think
that
traffic
engineer
thought
that
was
gonna
be
a
problem,
a
nun,
you're,
unreasonable
problem
and
I.
B
B
E
Quick
question:
I,
don't
think,
thank
you
for
being
here.
Looking
at
that
area,
shot
of
that
this
entire
area
from
from,
of
course,
high
up
in
the
sky.
This
is
a
largely
undeveloped
area
with
looked
like
a
mining
operation
about
half
a
mile
away
to
the
left,
but
there
are
no
other
assessable
Road,
as
this
area
continued
to
develop
due
to
people
coming
in
and
and
and
and
new
construction,
are
there
any
plans
to
potentially
widen
this
road
or
look
for
additional
access
points?
E
B
That's
a
really
good
point
and
what
we
have
a
60-foot,
easement,
okay
and
what
we're
gonna
do
is
put
in
a
public
road
through
that
easement
and
the
dedicated
to
the
city
and
corporal
that
worked
with
the
school
district
on
that
there's
also
been
to
some
discussions
to
the
east.
Taking
a
road
through
georgia
crowns
property
that
I
understood
that
that
happened
several
years
ago,
and
then
there
was
some
they
weren't
told
knows.
Now,
that's
not
gonna
be
the
thing
we
do
because
we're
adequately
service
about.
B
E
B
B
B
I,
don't
know
that
they
are
and
they've
got
so
much
acreage
there
that
they
could
just
leave
it
natural
buffers.
You
have
plenty
of
room
left,
open,
okay,
because
again
you're
talking
about
57
acres
in
England,
putting
he's
only
planning
to
put
256
units
on
that
and
and
again
that's
about
15
percent
of
what
would
ordinarily
be
allowed.
So
this
is.
E
A
F
F
Well,
the
reason
why
I
call
I
mean
came
here
is
because
they
think
that's
just
notice.
Okay,
it's
plain
I
could
plainly
see
the
rezone
area,
but
I
had
a
question
about
the
big
circle
they
put
on
the
page
because
it
looks
like
something
is
going
to
affect
in
that
area.
If
y'all
have
this
paper
like
y'all
need
me
to
bring
it
up
to
you.
C
We
send
out
the
notifications.
The
center
parcel
is
the
partial,
that's
actually
getting
our
piece
of
property,
that's
the
actual
partial,
that's
gonna
be
redeveloped,
and
this
circle
is
all
of
the
houses
that
are
part
of
the
notification
process.
Sometimes
that's
300
feet.
Sometimes
it's
one
mile,
so
you
received
that
letter,
because
in
this
case
you
were,
you
were
a
half
a
mile
from
that
piece
of
property.
Now.
F
B
C
A
I
know
so,
and
it
is
confusing,
so
let
me
apologize
to
you
for
it
being
confusing.
We've
got
two
cases
we're
gonna
hear
today
and
the
one
you're
concerned
about
is
coming
up
in
just
a
minute.
So
if
you'll
take
a
seat,
well
I'll
make
sure
and
let
you
come
up
the
next
next
matter.
E
Yes,
as
a
point
of
clarity,
though
I
do
want
him
to
understand
the
answer
that
was
given,
because
it's
not
gonna
change
based
upon
policies
that
we
have
to
follow.
We
have
to
give
notification
for
a
certain
area
right,
so
that
big
circle
represents
the
area
of
people
that
we
have
to
give
notice
to.
So
it's
not
gonna
impact
you
directly.
We
just
have
to
give
you
notice
to
let
you
know
the
area.
That's
gonna
be
impacted.
Is
the
area,
that's
that
that
is
in
the.
E
The
white,
so
if
that
alleviates
your
concern,
I,
don't
know
you
may
not
even
have
to
get
up
next
time,
because
I
think
you
just
wanted
to
answer
to
that
question
right
right,
and
so
that's
the
answer
to
your
question.
So
no,
it's
not
the
entire
circle.
It's
just
a
portion
in
the
center
all
right.
Okay,
thanks
I.
A
E
A
A
A
Okay,
so
let's
get
back
to
the
case
that
we're
on
I
had
asked
if
there
was
anybody
that
when
to
speak
in
favor
and
if
there
was
anyone
who
wanted
to
speak
against
and
I
believe
we
do
not
have
anybody
coming
forward.
So
if
commissioners,
if
there
are
no
other
questions,
do
I
hear
a
motion
for
this
particular
case.

Reese,
