2
00:00:30,340 --> 00:00:39,200
Tommy, will you do the invocation? Let's pray. Father, I thank you for the opportunity to serve in our great community, our great county.

3
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,500
May I ask your blessings on the decisions they're made here tonight, guide and lead us.

4
00:00:45,020 --> 00:00:55,320
We pray for our military, all of our service workers in our county, our teachers, our

00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,000
students in this year.

00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,720
Bless them all, Father, as we give you thanks for it all, and Christ, name our pray, amen.

00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,180
You please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.

8
00:01:05,180 --> 00:01:06,000
I

00:01:08,590 --> 00:01:14,770
pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which

10
00:01:14,770 --> 00:01:21,110
it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

11
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,900
At this time we'll have a roll call and we'll start on our right.

12
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,460

This time we will have approval of the minutes

18
00:01:43,740 --> 00:01:45,340
if everyone has looked at the minutes,

19
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,940
any additions or corrections that should be made.

20
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,540
I make a motion that we approve the minutes

21
00:01:50,540 --> 00:01:52,960
from the August 20th, 2026 meeting.

22
00:01:53,860 --> 00:01:54,460
I'll suck at that.

23
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,580
We have a motion by one, a second, by five.

24
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:58,760
Any discussion?

25
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,640
All those in favor raise your hand.

26
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,440
And we'll move on to the public hearing procedures.

27
00:02:05,140 --> 00:02:05,660
Thank you, sir.

28
00:02:05,660 --> 00:02:09,440
So when you come to the podium, please state your name and address for the record.

00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,660
Each side will have 10 minutes.

The applicant will go first and follow by those in favor of the request.

31
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,720
And then after that, those in opposition will be given an opportunity to go.

32
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:29,660
Again, 10 minutes per side, any time not used by the applicant's side can be reserved for a rebuttal.

33
00:02:30,380 --> 00:02:35,900

Good evening. I'm the applicant, David Saunders 2847 North

43
00:03:30,270 --> 00:03:37,850
Bogan Road in Buford. I just wanted to say that I had a chance to review all the recommended

00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:43,950
conditions and we don't have any issues with that but I wanted to present myself to answer

any questions that you might have and available.

46
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,540

Anyone to speak in opposition?

49
00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:10,830
Hearing none, we'll close the public game for this request, and we'll move to the commissioners

50
00:04:10,830 --> 00:04:11,730
for comments or questions.

51
00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:28,780
So I just have one question that we're going from agriculture to R1 low density, and one

52
00:04:28,780 --> 00:04:36,040
of the requirements from the staff is that each property shall have a minimum of 3,000 square

53
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,840
feet of heated, gross floor space.

54
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,500
Is that understood and okayed?

55
00:04:39,820 --> 00:04:40,500
That is understood.

56
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:41,100
Yes, okay.

57
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:55,350
You know the questions I'll make a motion to approve it based on staff recommendations with the eight conditions and

58
00:04:58,070 --> 00:04:59,670
I and I would add to that approval

59
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:29,640
Of the variants to UDC Section 89-402 for a minimum road frontage for the proposed four-lot minor subdivision. Let me amend mine and say that it clues the variance. We have a motion for five from District five for approval of the rezone and the two variances. I second. We have a second by District one. Any discussion. All in favor of this, raise your hand. Anyone opposed? We'll move on to the next period.

60

00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:53,140
This is map and parcel number X-052-106-113-114-115-116-116A-116B-116C and 118.

62
00:05:53,140 --> 00:06:03,920
Addresses are also 0, 726, 740, 790, 797, Hazel Moon Road, and 976 Carb Bethlehem Road.

63
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,660
Republic Services is the applicant and owner.

64
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:17,240
This is a special use request to UDC Section 8919D for a plus or minus 133.99 acre expansion

65
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:22,920
of the existing landfill, along with the future land use map amendment to parcels XX

66
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:38,540
6-0-5-2-106 and 115 to rule neighborhood to allow for a rezoning consisting of plus or minus 5.18 acres from AR agricultural residential to agricultural for the expansion.

67
00:06:39,700 --> 00:06:44,760
At this time we will open the public hearing for this request. Anyone here to speak in favor?

68
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:53,020
Good evening. My name is Brad Martin, 1042, Pathview Court, Mulberry, Georgia.

69
00:06:54,540 --> 00:07:00,460
I serve as a municipal services manager with Republic Services of Georgia and my role

70
00:07:00,460 --> 00:07:05,540
I work closely with municipalities and on infrastructure and community development initiatives.

71
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:11,080
Republic Services is proudly partnered with Barrow County for more than 30 years, providing

72
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,920
reliable solid waste management solutions and supporting the county's continued growth.

73
00:07:16,260 --> 00:07:20,180
I appreciate the opportunity to appear before you this evening and introduce our team as part

74
00:07:20,180 --> 00:07:25,800
of this public hearing regarding our application for rezoning, especially use approval for the

75
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:31,280
Europe Grow Glantville. We believe that our application satisfies the applicable requirements

76
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:37,240
of the Barrow County zoning ordinance and all relevant performance standards. As a long-time

77
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:42,160
community partner in stewart of this facility we recognize the significance of the decision before

78
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,300
you. We understand the impact it will have on local residents, businesses and the future growth of

79
00:07:47,820 --> 00:07:50,840
not only the county but the surrounding region.

80
00:07:51,820 --> 00:07:54,720
As an organization, we're committed to operating responsibly,

81
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,240
transparently and in a manner that continues to serve

82
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,640
the best interests of our community.

83
00:08:00,060 --> 00:08:01,940
At this time, I'd like to turn the podium over

84
00:08:01,940 --> 00:08:04,740
to Jeremiah Goodnight, who's our general manager

85
00:08:04,740 --> 00:08:07,680
for the Oakland Phil, and he's gonna provide

86
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,260
a brief presentation on the project and our proposal.

87
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,560
Again, thank you for your time, consideration,

88
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,780
and thoughtful review of our application.

89
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:15,540
Thank you.

90
00:08:15,540 --> 00:08:16,240
My

91
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:25,120
name is Jeremiah Goodnight, I'm the general manager for Oak Grove Landfill at 967 Carl Bethlehem Road.

92
00:08:25,700 --> 00:08:31,260
One of the introduced responsible for all the operations and maintenance and upkeep of the site.

93
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,960
I want to run through the quick PowerPoint presentation just to show what we're proposing.

94
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:43,420
We are proposing an additional of this useful gain approximately 22 years of effective disposal capacity to the region.

95
00:08:43,420 --> 00:08:52,560
We're not proposing any changes to the height of the facility, we're not increasing the trucks that will be running into the site through the expansion, just maintaining what we have.

96
00:08:53,220 --> 00:09:06,560
We will continue to meet the strict environmental standards set forth by EPD and all the rules and regulations therewith, and then continue to support the counting in the community and host fees and various opportunities that we have in being good neighbors and good partners.

97
00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:13,120
Yes, so the O-grove, as it sits now, we currently have 102 acres permitted for disposal.

98
00:09:13,740 --> 00:09:18,240
Within there are 239 gas wells, 42 groundwater wells.

99
00:09:18,540 --> 00:09:21,400
We receive approximately 500,000 tons annually.

100
00:09:22,020 --> 00:09:24,780
As Brad mentioned, we've been in the community 30 years.

101
00:09:25,340 --> 00:09:30,920
As it sits currently without this expansion, we're five and a half years left of landfill capacity in the region.

102
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:36,360
It is an important asset in disposal capacity throughout the region in Northeast Georgia.

103
00:09:37,980 --> 00:09:42,880
The 133 acres that we're proposing of that approximately 44 will be for disposal.

104
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:48,280
The rest will be for relocation of a landfill gas to energy plant of which generates

105
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:53,860
approximately 6.6 million, 6.6 megawatts that can power up to 4,200 homes.

106
00:09:55,340 --> 00:09:57,680
So we'll have to relocate some of that with the expansion.

107
00:09:57,680 --> 00:09:59,980
So, there's a map showing ...

108
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,300
Where we're proposing to go and how the expansion will add on to the end of the landfill.

109
00:10:06,570 --> 00:10:31,450
You know, we're using the existing entrance. We're not proposing any additional traffic or any change in how the flow is now with the exception of Carl Bethlehem road, but plan on using Bill Retledge Winder bypass for any future truck traffic. We can go to the next one. So kind of, you know, summarize it here. The trucks will continue to use the traffic patterns they are with Carl Bethlehem pinchly closing. They'll then come off the Bill Retledge.

110
00:10:31,450 --> 00:10:38,810
wind or bypass to access the landfill. We're continuing to monitor and take our responsibility

111
00:10:38,810 --> 00:10:42,690
of stewards of the environment and the county and the region and the community we support

112
00:10:42,690 --> 00:10:48,030
very seriously and hold ourselves to a high standard. We're proposing that there will

113
00:10:48,030 --> 00:10:52,670
be no increase noise, no change in what we're doing. It's really maintaining an existence

114
00:10:53,090 --> 00:10:54,570
and extending that life of the site.

115
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,040
All the anything that comes out of the landfill

116
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:05,280
We'll continue to be managed as we're doing it now with EPD standards and treating it appropriately.

117
00:11:05,940 --> 00:11:14,360
In addition, at the end of the expansion project, we'll install a six foot security fence around the perimeter to separate the where we're at on the expansion.

118
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,300
And make sure that we have a 200 foot buffer around all the property and adjacent parcels.

119
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,280
So we just appreciate the opportunity and thank you for your time.

120
00:11:24,540 --> 00:11:27,220
We have it engineers, if we have any additional questions that come up.

121
00:11:36,550 --> 00:11:38,030
I have a couple questions.

122
00:11:38,610 --> 00:11:46,370
The gas is, that's methane, and how do you transport that to Georgia power?

123
00:11:46,770 --> 00:11:51,050
So on site, we have a landfill gas to energy plants, so we provide it to them, and then

124
00:11:51,050 --> 00:11:54,450
they use it to spend engines that create electricity and send it back to the grid.

125
00:11:54,850 --> 00:11:56,730
We have a partner that handles that part of the gas.

126
00:11:56,730 --> 00:11:58,050
That goes to the grid.

127
00:11:58,330 --> 00:12:01,430
Yeah, it's on the, yeah, the planet on the site, but it goes to the grid after that.

128
00:12:01,430 --> 00:12:07,570
And just another question that doesn't have a whole lot to do with your request or application,

129
00:12:07,850 --> 00:12:14,530
but a couple of years ago, the Southern Company discovered that there is a large cavern

130
00:12:14,530 --> 00:12:19,950
between Alabama and Mississippi that runs all the way to Florida, they named it the Tuscaloosa

131
00:12:19,950 --> 00:12:25,310
cavern, and their idea was they were going to take all this CO2 and pump it underground,

132
00:12:25,310 --> 00:12:30,170
so it wouldn't be a greenhouse gas. And my wife asks, well, what are we going to do

133
00:12:30,170 --> 00:12:37,570
at the end of 300 years because that's the capacity that Southern Company said that that Tuscaloosa cavern will last.

134
00:12:38,290 --> 00:12:44,570
So, I didn't answer a question, but you say this will last in 22 more years?

135
00:12:45,190 --> 00:12:47,230
That's correct. Is that on top of the five?

136
00:12:47,510 --> 00:12:50,350
That's right. Now? Yes. Okay. Thanks. Yes, sir.

137
00:12:57,510 --> 00:12:57,950
Thank you.

138
00:12:58,930 --> 00:13:00,330
Anybody else to speak in favor?

139
00:13:04,420 --> 00:13:06,320
Hearing none, anyone to speak in opposition?

140
00:13:07,980 --> 00:13:10,360
You have to come forward, name and address please.

141
00:13:17,710 --> 00:13:20,210
I'm a 681 Tucker Road, Winder, Georgia.

142
00:13:20,810 --> 00:13:25,150
I don't know if I'm really in opposition, but I have a lot of questions because my property

143
00:13:25,150 --> 00:13:26,950
backs up to the landfill.

144
00:13:27,690 --> 00:13:37,190
I need to understand what type of barrier there's going to be for noise, odor, pest control.

145
00:13:37,570 --> 00:13:39,810
I've had to deal with rats.

146
00:13:40,630 --> 00:13:45,130
that were really bad several years ago. I also had a business on Tucker Road

147
00:13:45,130 --> 00:13:48,950
and had to replace a great deal of the equipment in my business due to the

148
00:13:48,950 --> 00:13:53,530
rat investigation. I'd like to understand what type of visual impact it's

149
00:13:53,530 --> 00:13:59,270
going to be from my home and what it's going to do the value of my home. Is

150
00:13:59,270 --> 00:14:03,170
there going to be compensation for the value that I lose? Am I going to get a

151
00:14:03,170 --> 00:14:09,790
break on my taxes? And I think he said it's going to be for 27 more years that

152
00:14:09,790 --> 00:14:10,910
That's concerning as well.

153
00:14:13,770 --> 00:14:14,490
I think that's it.

154
00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:16,110
Okay, thank you.

155
00:14:17,050 --> 00:14:19,270
Any rebuttal, well, well, first of all,

156
00:14:19,390 --> 00:14:20,730
is there anyone else to speak in opposition?

157
00:14:25,630 --> 00:14:27,270
Hearing none, any rebuttal from,

158
00:14:27,790 --> 00:14:29,790
would you want to have a few minutes to address

159
00:14:29,790 --> 00:14:30,850
any of those concerns?

160
00:14:31,290 --> 00:14:32,310
Are you going to take that off grid?

161
00:14:38,710 --> 00:14:42,430
Is Daniel Cheek and our office is 39, 20,

162
00:14:42,550 --> 00:14:43,910
Arcrite Road in Macon, Georgia,

163
00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:46,430
and I work for Hodges Harbin, New Bury and Trouble,

164
00:14:46,710 --> 00:14:48,410
and we're the design and permitting engineer

165
00:14:48,410 --> 00:14:50,970
for Republic Services on Oak Grove Landfill

166
00:14:50,970 --> 00:14:54,330
and then we're sorry when it feels and I think I got everything that she

167
00:14:54,330 --> 00:14:57,530
mentioned so I'll touch on those and then if you'll have any other follow up

168
00:14:57,530 --> 00:14:59,790
questions on the property

169
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,200
There was a separate independent land evaluation study that was done by Kirkland appraisals that is included in the application, and it concluded that there was no impact to adjacent property land values. On the noise a question, we did have another independent consultant, BBE engineering conduct a noise survey using eight, they deployed eight survey monitors, and essentially we're detecting operational equipment and operational

170
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,220
activities of the landfill. Since this is just extending the life of the landfill, we don't

171
00:15:34,220 --> 00:15:38,940
really expect there to be any increase in noise. Obviously the landfill's expansion will

172
00:15:38,940 --> 00:15:44,500
be proposed to go to the southeast, but there should be no increase in noise and the noise

173
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:49,680
study concluded that the operational sound levels were within acceptable limits, and there's

174
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:54,360
no issue with that. In fact, it picked up more noise along Karl Bethlehem Road with traffic

175
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,580
than it does from the landfill.

176
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:04,400
On odor, the application also includes the Georgia EPD approved odor management plan.

177
00:16:05,020 --> 00:16:09,720
Some of the things that they've already touched on is the gas energy plant and the gas collection

178
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:14,740
system that let landfills required to have in the expansion will also be required to have.

179
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:22,160
Other other other mitigation tools are managing the size of the working base as well as daily

180
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,460
cover and just, you know, operational, you know, good housekeeping practices that they

181
00:16:26,460 --> 00:16:27,320
currently employ.

182
00:16:30,660 --> 00:16:36,600
Buffers, there is a required natural undisturbed 200-foot buffer that goes around the entire

183
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:37,180
property.

184
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:47,540
I believe in the southeast early, south direction, the closest homes to the boundary were roughly

185
00:16:47,540 --> 00:16:53,760
140 feet to the property, but then there would be another 200 feet, so 340 feet before

186
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:59,120
you're outside the buffer, but to the landfill disposable, the proposed footprint, it would

187
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,620
be 550 to 590 feet.

188
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:08,880
So the current buffers and screening will be the natural areas, we're obviously bound

189
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:14,420
to the east by the Georgia Transmission Line, to the south by the Colonial Pipeline, so

190
00:17:14,420 --> 00:17:16,040
we're not going to go beyond that.

191
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:22,460
And is regarding the statics, the proposed expansion will not raise the height of the landfill.

192
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,620
It will just lay up against an adjacent to it.

193
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,260
So I'll stop there if there's any other questions.

194
00:17:28,940 --> 00:17:30,560
Save more time for rebuttal.

195
00:17:31,820 --> 00:17:32,480
Thank you.

196
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,700
If there aren't any other questions, I'll close the public hearing on this request,

197
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:43,000
and then open it up for comments or questions.

198
00:17:43,260 --> 00:17:44,020
And I have a quick question.

199
00:17:45,980 --> 00:17:48,980
I know this may be something you can't say on a brief basis.

200
00:17:48,980 --> 00:17:58,840
is what, how often is the EPD checking in?

201
00:17:58,980 --> 00:18:00,540
How often do they come and inspect?

202
00:18:00,980 --> 00:18:03,980
How often are their fails they've put in place?

203
00:18:04,460 --> 00:18:05,500
How often are you monitored?

204
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:06,620
I guess it's a good way to put it.

205
00:18:11,990 --> 00:18:14,310
Kind of as needed, but it's at least semi-annually

206
00:18:14,310 --> 00:18:15,730
they perform inspections.

207
00:18:15,730 --> 00:18:17,210
They come in and check the site out.

208
00:18:17,790 --> 00:18:19,610
Additionally, if there were complaints or something

209
00:18:19,610 --> 00:18:22,070
serious of a nature, they would make unannounced visits

210
00:18:22,070 --> 00:18:23,010
that's in visit our site.

211
00:18:23,190 --> 00:18:26,290
We also have quarterly monitoring on all the gas wells

212
00:18:26,290 --> 00:18:28,470
and reporting that we're checking it monthly,

213
00:18:28,670 --> 00:18:31,170
but also then reporting it to the state quarterly

214
00:18:31,650 --> 00:18:32,530
and annually isn't needed.

215
00:18:34,170 --> 00:18:35,890
Oh, Europe, I've got a question.

216
00:18:36,910 --> 00:18:38,430
I understand there's not much you can do

217
00:18:38,430 --> 00:18:41,350
with the cleared area of the Georgia power easement

218
00:18:41,350 --> 00:18:45,290
or the gas easement, those are all just grass basically.

219
00:18:46,010 --> 00:18:49,170
Is any other thing that y'all are planning to do

220
00:18:49,170 --> 00:18:53,150
You own the part you can control as a buffer with planning.

221
00:18:54,410 --> 00:18:55,270
With planning?

222
00:18:55,810 --> 00:18:57,750
With planning of trees or?

223
00:18:57,990 --> 00:18:58,410
Like a vegetation.

224
00:18:58,710 --> 00:18:59,350
Yeah, I think vegetation.

225
00:19:00,230 --> 00:19:04,590
Yeah, what's existing will stay and not disturb that and leave it as it is.

226
00:19:04,850 --> 00:19:06,010
So if there's already a buffer there.

227
00:19:07,210 --> 00:19:10,410
We don't want what's there to disturb a bit of needed.

228
00:19:10,570 --> 00:19:12,270
We'd like to see some added if needed.

229
00:19:12,790 --> 00:19:12,990
Okay.

230
00:19:13,470 --> 00:19:14,510
Yeah, we'll see.

231
00:19:14,790 --> 00:19:15,250
Yeah, please.

232
00:19:18,350 --> 00:19:20,190
Can you get back to the site map on the screen?

233
00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:29,870
The area to the southeast on the other side of the Georgia transmission is a separate independent surface mine, and it's under reclamation and they planted pine trees there.

234
00:19:30,030 --> 00:19:38,650
So that whole stand will be full of pine trees, except for what area they might need for the gas energy or a sediment pond, but there are going to be planted ponds on that area.

235
00:19:39,190 --> 00:19:41,030
I have a question as well while you're up.

236
00:19:41,450 --> 00:19:46,030
You said you don't expect any extra additional noise during this expansion.

237
00:19:46,390 --> 00:19:49,990
What does construction of this landfill look like and what kind of noise could be expected

238
00:19:50,750 --> 00:19:53,330
as far as like getting it to the point of operational?

239
00:19:54,370 --> 00:19:58,320
It's just going to be heavy equipment that you used to handle the trash, whether it's

240
00:19:58,320 --> 00:19:59,840
That's it for us, compactors, bulldozers.

241
00:20:00,050 --> 00:20:28,850
But we're not increasing, we're not proposing to increase the tonage specific to the landfill footprint. So the same equipment that operates today will be the same equipment operating in this future area. And so, you know, it's mostly going to be backup alarms from what you hear if they're backing up. Okay. So if I understand you correctly, the equipment that's operating today is heavy equipment as in like, you know, excavators, bulldozers. Like you said, those equipments are an operation daily now. Correct. And nothing will change moving forward. If this is approved. Correct. Okay. Thank you.

242
00:20:28,850 --> 00:20:29,890
Any

243
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:36,140
other questions?

244
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:43,180
Any none.

245
00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:44,340
We'll call for a motion.

246
00:20:52,540 --> 00:21:01,400
So I don't know when this landfill was first established, but these are needed facilities.

247
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:13,840
And it may not be a park or Disneyland or something that we want, but it's something that is necessary.

248
00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:22,540
And so I would make a motion that we would approve the rezoning, that we would approve the

249
00:21:22,540 --> 00:21:28,580
change of the future land use map amendment from suburban residential to rural neighborhood,

250
00:21:29,700 --> 00:21:40,740
also that we approve the request to rezone 5.18 plus or minus acres from AR to AG, comprised

251
00:21:40,740 --> 00:21:44,740
The rise of the parcels that Rebecca read early on.

252
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:54,000
And I also recommend that we approve the special use request to UDC section 89190, sub paragraph D.

253
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,200
Is that with the staff recommendations as well?

254
00:22:01,740 --> 00:22:03,000
We have a motion of a district one.

255
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:12,920
I agree with you, Mr. Joe, it may not be something that you may want, but it's something that's necessary in order for us, so I will second that motion.

256
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,500
You have a second by district four any discussion hearing

257
00:22:19,030 --> 00:22:21,590
none all in favor of the motion raise your hand

258
00:22:22,450 --> 00:22:23,930
Anyone in opposition

259
00:22:24,590 --> 00:22:33,030
The motion passes our next case tonight is our next case tonight is B.O.C.

260
00:22:33,290 --> 00:22:33,970
2026

261
00:22:34,330 --> 00:22:36,190
0 0 0 8 4

262
00:22:36,190 --> 00:22:42,210
mapping parcel number x x 125 0 7 4 and 0 7 5

263
00:22:42,210 --> 00:22:51,630
This is 2015 and 2021 TALICY RAID or Highway 82 in town homebuilders is the applicant Douglas

264
00:22:51,630 --> 00:22:53,490
and Don Cole or the owners.

265
00:22:54,090 --> 00:22:59,430
This is a request to re-zone plus or minus 4.41 acres from agricultural and agricultural

266
00:22:59,430 --> 00:23:06,790
residential to R1, low density single-family residential for a lot reconfiguration and

267
00:23:06,790 --> 00:23:07,110
split.

268
00:23:08,350 --> 00:23:11,130
This time we will open the public hearing for this request.

269
00:23:11,130 --> 00:23:13,290
Anyone here to speak in favor of this request?

270
00:23:18,530 --> 00:23:19,570
My name is Randy Wallace.

271
00:23:19,970 --> 00:23:22,750
I'm an address 506 carriage drive in Bethlehem.

272
00:23:24,510 --> 00:23:26,150
And I'm not sure what all is Rebecca.

273
00:23:26,990 --> 00:23:28,970
Yeah, I'm not sure what all is she just mentioned.

274
00:23:29,130 --> 00:23:30,110
It's kind of hard to hear out here.

275
00:23:30,610 --> 00:23:32,390
But I'm just going to reiterate that what we're doing here

276
00:23:32,390 --> 00:23:34,470
is done on the property.

277
00:23:35,230 --> 00:23:36,230
They own two lots here.

278
00:23:36,410 --> 00:23:38,170
And they've got their daughter living in the second lot.

279
00:23:38,770 --> 00:23:41,790
And then their other daughter wants to live on the third lot.

280
00:23:42,470 --> 00:23:45,230
And so that's what we're asking is that we rezone the second lot,

281
00:23:45,230 --> 00:23:52,470
which is two point something acres and we'll be able to divide it into two parcels by combining

282
00:23:52,470 --> 00:23:58,790
all three of the parcels we can have three virtually equal parcels side by side and then we're

283
00:23:58,790 --> 00:24:04,730
asking to rezone this to R1 and I don't know if it's been mentioned or noticed but there is actually

284
00:24:04,730 --> 00:24:10,070
a subdivision just to the right of what that map is to the to the left of what that map's showing

285
00:24:10,550 --> 00:24:14,470
and that subdivision is an R1 subdivision there's other R1 properties that are

286
00:24:14,890 --> 00:24:16,110
surrounding the property as well.

287
00:24:16,330 --> 00:24:18,050
In fact, the property just to the right, I believe,

288
00:24:18,130 --> 00:24:19,170
is all so zoned R1.

289
00:24:19,970 --> 00:24:21,310
And so we're asking if we can do that

290
00:24:21,310 --> 00:24:24,190
in order to be able to build the house

291
00:24:24,190 --> 00:24:26,470
for Cam and his wife,

292
00:24:26,870 --> 00:24:29,570
and then the family can be able

293
00:24:29,570 --> 00:24:30,650
to live together on this partial.

294
00:24:32,330 --> 00:24:32,830
Thank you.

295
00:24:33,650 --> 00:24:35,310
And we've also done the septic studies.

296
00:24:35,470 --> 00:24:36,150
We've gotten the approval,

297
00:24:36,750 --> 00:24:39,090
and we've gotten the soils

298
00:24:39,090 --> 00:24:41,250
so that we know that everything is going to be able

299
00:24:41,250 --> 00:24:41,950
to be done properly.

300
00:24:43,470 --> 00:24:44,010
Thank you.

301
00:24:45,130 --> 00:24:47,050
Anyone else to speak in favor of this request?

302
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:52,580
Anyone to speak in opposition?

303
00:24:57,980 --> 00:24:59,800
No, now close the public hearing for this request.

304
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,300
And we will move it to the commissioners for comments or questions.

305
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:18,760
I'll make a motion that we approve it. Based on staff recommendations. I'll second that motion. Is that with the conditions? We've a motion by five and a second by district four. Any discussion?

306
00:25:21,300 --> 00:25:27,180
All those in favor of the motion raise your hand. Anyone in opposition? That motion passes.

307
00:25:30,650 --> 00:25:36,990
BSC 2026-00085 is the next case. Map and parcel number.

308
00:25:36,990 --> 00:25:44,890
for XX-121-064. This is 1534 Hogg Mountain Road. Carter Engineering is the applicant,

309
00:25:45,150 --> 00:25:50,250
Whitestone Stables are the owners. This is a special use request to allow for a special

310
00:25:50,250 --> 00:25:56,450
event's venue. This time we will open the public hearing for this request. Anyone to speak

311
00:25:56,450 --> 00:25:56,930
in favor?

312
00:26:00,870 --> 00:26:04,350
Good evening, I'm Jeff Carter with Carter Engineering Consultants 1010 Commerce

313
00:26:04,350 --> 00:26:10,430
drive in Bogart representing white stone stables tonight. This parcel is a larger

314
00:26:10,430 --> 00:26:16,270
parcel. It's been under the same ownership for many, many years off hog mountain road.

315
00:26:16,790 --> 00:26:23,470
Currently there's a horse stable that used to house horses. There's no horses

316
00:26:23,470 --> 00:26:28,810
there now, but as you can imagine with the larger parcel like this there's a lot

317
00:26:28,810 --> 00:26:33,450
of maintenance, a lot of things that go into it and so the family has decided that

318
00:26:33,450 --> 00:26:37,490
that they want to have, what I call a low-key event venue,

319
00:26:37,670 --> 00:26:38,850
primarily for weddings.

320
00:26:39,130 --> 00:26:42,650
And so that's what we're asking to do tonight.

321
00:26:43,950 --> 00:26:46,450
As far as just the layout of the property,

322
00:26:47,130 --> 00:26:49,890
the horse tables are pretty much in the middle

323
00:26:49,890 --> 00:26:53,910
of the property, far away from residential properties.

324
00:26:54,410 --> 00:26:57,110
I actually measured, did a little bit of measuring today,

325
00:26:57,350 --> 00:27:02,170
and it's about 1,800 feet to the nearest residential

326
00:27:02,170 --> 00:27:06,690
to proper to the east and about 1,300 feet to the west.

327
00:27:07,130 --> 00:27:10,430
So the actual place where the events will take place

328
00:27:10,430 --> 00:27:12,090
or right around the horse stables,

329
00:27:12,530 --> 00:27:13,970
they don't plan to use the building,

330
00:27:14,050 --> 00:27:17,250
but what they do plan to do is bring in temporary tents,

331
00:27:18,110 --> 00:27:20,670
pole tents, and put them in the front yard.

332
00:27:21,210 --> 00:27:23,050
And so they would have parking,

333
00:27:23,650 --> 00:27:26,890
a shuttle service from the parking area

334
00:27:26,890 --> 00:27:29,110
to the actual events.

335
00:27:29,630 --> 00:27:31,510
They're not planning on using any buildings,

336
00:27:31,510 --> 00:27:41,290
They're not planning on building any buildings and so when I say low key this is they really it's very important to the family to keep this an agricultural

337
00:27:42,350 --> 00:27:47,430
You know property and so they just want to be able to have some some events here

338
00:27:48,590 --> 00:27:49,210
the

339
00:27:49,210 --> 00:27:57,310
The proposed use does satisfy and at least in our opinion the special use permit criteria for Barrow County

340
00:27:57,310 --> 00:28:02,710
the scale and the intensity of the use we feel is very appropriate for 165 acre parcel.

341
00:28:03,930 --> 00:28:09,970
We are requesting and it is a condition but we brought the request to limit it to 300

342
00:28:09,970 --> 00:28:10,390
people.

343
00:28:10,950 --> 00:28:15,850
So that will be the maximum number that would be at this event, a wedding event.

344
00:28:16,450 --> 00:28:18,910
And it's really kind of limited in use.

345
00:28:18,910 --> 00:28:22,990
It's like 40 events per year and that's going to be the cap.

346
00:28:24,430 --> 00:28:29,770
It really minimizes the use of the property, again, not any land disturbance per se, other

347
00:28:29,770 --> 00:28:31,170
than a little bit of parking area.

348
00:28:32,550 --> 00:28:36,010
And so it's clearly an accessory use.

349
00:28:36,530 --> 00:28:40,810
It's more agritourism the way that we look at this.

350
00:28:41,450 --> 00:28:46,710
And so as far as the staff recommendations met with the owner, who by the way the owner

351
00:28:46,710 --> 00:28:50,490
is here tonight is very important to their family.

352
00:28:51,370 --> 00:28:56,250
We did look through the staff recommendations, don't have any issues with the recommendation.

353
00:28:56,310 --> 00:28:57,610
We agree with all of them.

354
00:28:58,070 --> 00:29:05,570
Just a point of clarification on the number four with all parking areas, including

355
00:29:05,570 --> 00:29:08,010
approving and appropriateness, paving materials.

356
00:29:08,810 --> 00:29:15,910
What we do want, what we don't want to do is build a large asphalt parking lot and an agricultural

357
00:29:15,910 --> 00:29:16,810
area like this.

358
00:29:16,810 --> 00:29:31,830
So we are planning to use previous materials, grass-paved, that type of thing is worked really well in situations like this, and so, but as far as we recommend recommendations go, we're good with those and appreciate your support.

359
00:29:32,750 --> 00:29:39,770
I think this would really mean a lot to the family, and be glad to try to answer any questions that you may have, so thank you for your time.

360
00:29:40,270 --> 00:29:40,510
Thank you.

361
00:29:44,980 --> 00:29:46,180
Anyone else to speak in favor?

362
00:29:46,180 --> 00:29:47,200
Good

363
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:57,460
evening, I'm Brian Tyson, 119 South Roscoe, Boulevard, Panavidra, Beach, Florida.

364
00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,660
As Jeff said,

365
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:09,740
I'm a family member and a member of the LLC that owns the property. Just to give a little history,

366
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:17,400
my father-in-law built it in, actually he swapped land for around 1990 and built the

367
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:25,340
stables and was very successful breeding horses there. But post his device and then my mother

368
00:30:25,340 --> 00:30:33,060
lost the lives. My wife was able to get the land in trust and about three years ago we had

369
00:30:33,740 --> 00:30:38,760
reception there for our son and daughter-in-law they got married and some of the pictures you saw

370
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:46,840
were from that event and it was a very successful no complaints no issues we employed off-duty deputies

371
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:53,520
the managed traffic on Highway 53, Hogg Mountain Road. And again, it came off without a hitch.

372
00:30:55,200 --> 00:31:01,160
That's the tent that we used. If you look at that tent, you'll see why we want to host farm

373
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:01,780
litings there.

374
00:31:05,190 --> 00:31:10,790
You know, as Jeff said, it's zoned agricultural. We have no intent of doing anything

375
00:31:10,790 --> 00:31:18,230
differently. We run cows, we lease the pasture there, and we cut hay there. Those operations

376
00:31:18,230 --> 00:31:20,350
will continue for the foreseeable future.

377
00:31:21,130 --> 00:31:26,190
My wife and I were speaking about it today and we don't see us doing anything differently

378
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:31,470
than including these events if we're out of the rest of our lives.

379
00:31:32,470 --> 00:31:37,830
So it's our intent for it to stay its own ag and continue to operate it as a working

380
00:31:37,830 --> 00:31:38,070
farm.

381
00:31:38,750 --> 00:31:39,670
Thank you.

382
00:31:39,810 --> 00:31:42,610
Yes, that you're using the same footprint that's currently on the site.

383
00:31:43,250 --> 00:31:45,830
You're not using the building, you're using the same footprint, I mean it's in the same

384
00:31:45,830 --> 00:31:46,830
area of the property.

385
00:31:46,990 --> 00:31:47,250
Yes.

386
00:31:47,250 --> 00:31:56,030
So, if we go back to the, that's the stables, the tent that we used was that drive, you see

387
00:31:56,030 --> 00:32:00,570
the asphalt drive, it was just to the, to the right as we're facing the building.

388
00:32:01,330 --> 00:32:04,670
I cannot remember the dimensions of that tent, but it was huge.

389
00:32:06,670 --> 00:32:09,410
And it worked again, it worked out very well.

390
00:32:09,410 --> 00:32:17,070
We would put the size tents as required by the fire marshal to comply with life safety regulations.

391
00:32:18,030 --> 00:32:24,410
Again, we'll employ deputies for every event that we do off duty deputies to manage traffic.

392
00:32:25,150 --> 00:32:31,850
When we did it, we also used Midway Church, which is just down the road for people to park,

393
00:32:32,350 --> 00:32:35,630
and we understand all the parking will be on site going forward.

394
00:32:36,050 --> 00:32:36,650
Thank

395
00:32:39,210 --> 00:32:39,450
you.

396
00:32:40,290 --> 00:32:41,570
I have a question.

397
00:32:42,210 --> 00:32:52,410
You guys have seen a list of all the staff recommendations if it were to be approved, including number six with the talk of the environmental health issue with the on-site sewage management.

398
00:32:53,390 --> 00:32:54,230
And you guys are cool with that.

399
00:32:54,930 --> 00:32:55,890
Yes, we are.

400
00:32:56,930 --> 00:33:03,770
We don't, to be candid with you, we don't necessarily like it because the plan is to have really nice,

401
00:33:03,770 --> 00:33:09,110
It's a risk in facilities brought in with the storage tanks and then hauled off property.

402
00:33:09,690 --> 00:33:12,730
But in talking with the health department, that is not a possibility.

403
00:33:13,250 --> 00:33:15,290
And so yeah, we're okay with it.

404
00:33:15,830 --> 00:33:19,570
If you don't mind me asking, what is the plan for the sewage management?

405
00:33:20,570 --> 00:33:27,230
So we will have to get a health department permit and we will have to put a on-site septic system there.

406
00:33:27,790 --> 00:33:32,490
We've talked to the health department and that's just something that we'll have to do.

407
00:33:32,490 --> 00:33:38,170
You post, my understanding is hopefully we get the species permit, and then we'll go into

408
00:33:38,170 --> 00:33:40,890
permitting and deal with that at that time.

409
00:33:41,250 --> 00:33:41,310
Okay.

410
00:33:41,870 --> 00:33:42,390
Thank you.

411
00:33:42,630 --> 00:33:47,390
Is there, will there be a building built for this facility, or will you use the rolling

412
00:33:47,390 --> 00:33:47,870
trainers?

413
00:33:49,170 --> 00:33:53,250
So the plan right now, and of course we've got to get it from me with the health department,

414
00:33:53,450 --> 00:33:59,050
but the plan right now is there is a restroom in the horse stables, and so we don't want

415
00:33:59,050 --> 00:34:04,770
to use that necessarily, but that will be our on-site septic system there.

416
00:34:05,490 --> 00:34:10,550
And anything in excess of that, the health department has tentatively said the plan will

417
00:34:10,550 --> 00:34:15,910
be to use that restroom, but if you have a larger event to 300 people, you can use the

418
00:34:15,910 --> 00:34:18,570
temporary holding tanks that come with the restroom.

419
00:34:18,830 --> 00:34:23,410
So it's kind of a plan that we got to work out with the health department, but that's kind

420
00:34:23,410 --> 00:34:24,850
of what we're looking at.

421
00:34:25,230 --> 00:34:27,150
So yes, there will be a restroom there.

422
00:34:27,150 --> 00:34:40,230
Another question or two more, one has been in any discussion with the GDOT about turn lanes or any access to getting in and out of this property during 300 guests.

423
00:34:41,350 --> 00:34:47,410
So GDOT has been consulted about the project. We understand that we will have to get a GDOT permit.

424
00:34:47,410 --> 00:34:53,230
But what that entails, we're not sure yet, but we know we've got to work that out with them.

425
00:34:53,430 --> 00:34:57,470
So that will be kind of our next step after we get the, hopefully get the specials for now.

426
00:34:57,630 --> 00:34:59,890
Other question, there's a silent question from Mr.

427
00:35:09,100 --> 00:35:33,440
It's my understanding that the noise ordinance requires us to stop the music at 10.30, which is what we complied with when we did our event there three years ago. And I asked the sheriff post event if there were any complaints, he said no. And the subdivision that was referenced, Jeff referenced, which would be to the east. It was there then, fully occupied.

428
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,560
as well as the other homes off to the west.

429
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:37,480
So no complaints.

430
00:35:37,820 --> 00:35:38,220
Thank you.

431
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:38,880
Thank you.

432
00:35:39,740 --> 00:35:41,140
So I have a couple questions.

433
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,220
And with respect to noise, the Georgia Club, for example,

434
00:35:44,300 --> 00:35:46,560
which is right around the corner from this piece of property,

435
00:35:46,980 --> 00:35:50,400
they have weddings and venues in their houses that surround it.

436
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,440
And that's all in Barrow County as well.

437
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,180
So there doesn't seem to be a problem.

438
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,720
This will remain zoned AG agriculture.

439
00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:06,740
but the events that you have there, will that be taxed as a business? Do you know the answer to that?

440
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:15,400
So they will have to have a business license for the special for the wedding venue and I believe correct me if I'm wrong.

441
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:25,860
I'm not in the tax assessor's office, but the weddings are the only events that do not risk the conservation use of the property.

442
00:36:25,860 --> 00:36:32,100
So under the tax assessor's office, they can have waiting events under the agricultural

443
00:36:32,100 --> 00:36:36,980
and still have their conservation use, but only waiting events.

444
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:44,980
The term that I was given about two and a half years ago was farm weddings, so I asked

445
00:36:44,980 --> 00:36:51,080
what that meant, and it means you can have the rehearsal, the ceremony and the reception

446
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:51,880
on site.

447
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:52,740
And that's it.

448
00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:00,880
I do know that area pretty well and there is a lot of development with regard to homes

449
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:09,500
in that area, which in my opinion and in talking to Matt at the school board, I think that

450
00:37:09,500 --> 00:37:15,720
the saturation with regard to the houses that are already there on the old McLaughlin property

451
00:37:15,720 --> 00:37:22,060
and across the street are going to be enough for them to handle as far as the school is concerned.

452
00:37:22,060 --> 00:37:25,600
and so I would think that they would be in favor of this.

453
00:37:26,500 --> 00:37:32,640
Also with regard to DOT, if you're going to have deputies there, they're going to have traffic directing.

454
00:37:33,260 --> 00:37:38,980
But you're probably going to just have you put in deceleration and acceleration lanes,

455
00:37:39,500 --> 00:37:45,120
which will help the cars if they're turning in, they don't have to hold traffic in one direction.

456
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:56,600
But also on Hawkebatten Road, is it there also down the road a venue where they have rodeos or was there was but they don't have that anymore?

457
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,060
Okay, all right, well I think I think you have a good idea.

458
00:38:03,460 --> 00:38:06,100
Anyone to speak in opposition to this request?

459
00:38:10,690 --> 00:38:14,830
Here in animal closely public hearing and we'll go to the commissioner's comments question.

460
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:15,630
That's a quick question.

461
00:38:16,750 --> 00:38:18,310
You said it's limited to 40 events.

462
00:38:18,470 --> 00:38:19,150
Who monitors that?

463
00:38:19,950 --> 00:38:20,710
How's that monitored?

464
00:38:25,370 --> 00:38:29,570
So they will have to be limited that if there is a complaint

465
00:38:29,570 --> 00:38:31,570
and we realize that there are more than 40,

466
00:38:32,770 --> 00:38:36,530
then we'll basically, we could even come back to the board

467
00:38:36,530 --> 00:38:39,710
and have their license revoked for their special use

468
00:38:39,710 --> 00:38:39,950
revoked.

469
00:38:40,430 --> 00:38:42,430
OK, so you take the number of weddings

470
00:38:42,430 --> 00:38:44,210
and you subtract the number of divorces

471
00:38:44,210 --> 00:38:46,250
and you come up with 40. No, I'm teasing.

472
00:38:47,930 --> 00:38:51,130
I make a motion that, have we closed the public meeting?

473
00:38:51,130 --> 00:38:51,510
We closed.

474
00:38:52,110 --> 00:38:57,790
I make a motion that we approve the special use permit with regard to staff recommendations

475
00:38:57,790 --> 00:39:02,170
and especially the septic tank system that these guys already know about, and they're going

476
00:39:02,170 --> 00:39:08,270
to get some DOT input. So I think they're well on their way, and I like the idea of using

477
00:39:08,270 --> 00:39:11,050
the impervious materials and not putting a bunch of asphalt down.

478
00:39:11,050 --> 00:39:13,090
We have a motion from a district one.

479
00:39:14,730 --> 00:39:15,350
Second.

480
00:39:15,570 --> 00:39:17,750
Second by district two. Any discussion?

481
00:39:19,090 --> 00:39:21,170
All those in favor of the motion raise your hand.

482
00:39:22,510 --> 00:39:23,370
Anyone in opposition?

483
00:39:24,490 --> 00:39:25,210
That motion passes.

484
00:39:26,370 --> 00:39:31,910
The next case before you is BOC 2026-008007.

485
00:39:32,270 --> 00:39:37,450
This is my proposal number XX050C011.

486
00:39:37,450 --> 00:39:40,750
also known as 135 manufacturer's court.

487
00:39:41,610 --> 00:39:43,430
Madden next firm is the applicant,

488
00:39:44,050 --> 00:39:47,690
ADE 1, 2, 5, 0, LLC is the owner.

489
00:39:48,210 --> 00:39:52,190
This is a special use request to UDC section 89, 9, 9, 9

490
00:39:52,190 --> 00:39:55,850
to exceed the maximum of 25% in part of the service.

491
00:39:56,710 --> 00:39:59,150
This time, we will open the public hearing for this request.

492
00:39:59,570 --> 00:39:59,970
Anyone in favor?

493
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:28,820
In favor of this request? Good evening, John Necks, Conor's Georgia. First time here, I will say this even might hurt me. This is the most efficient planning commission meeting I've been to in a decade. And he had a lot of topics, but not only were the people presenting really have their act together, but just really well conducted. This site, as you know, an office industrial park, it's 2.57 acres.

494
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:34,360
It's situated in such a way on the property that sits in a bowl where they'll be doing

495
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,720
the development because of the topography.

496
00:40:37,380 --> 00:40:43,280
So a lot of it that goes on here is not even going to be visually able to be seen from

497
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:43,720
the road.

498
00:40:44,540 --> 00:40:46,520
They need the variance.

499
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:52,160
As staff has recommended it in order to complete the site in the way they've planted on the

500
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:53,100
conceptual plan.

501
00:40:53,780 --> 00:40:57,160
The user of this property is going to be dusty, grear, roofing.

502
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:01,320
It's a commercial company that operates throughout the Southeastern United States.

503
00:41:01,860 --> 00:41:06,700
They're going to put an office on there and a warehouse and it's going to be their corporate headquarters.

504
00:41:07,540 --> 00:41:14,820
Most of the activity that comes out of this company is where their workers go all over the place in the country of Southeast to do the work.

505
00:41:15,220 --> 00:41:26,080
So the activity here is really going to be limited to their office operations and vehicles coming in out providing supplies that will get sent to projects but also supplies on site.

506
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:33,480
They're going to have 18 parking spaces. It won't create a lot of traffic. We think it fits into the park and

507
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,720
We'd appreciate you accepting the recommendation of staff.

508
00:41:41,030 --> 00:41:41,790
Any questions.

509
00:41:44,370 --> 00:41:45,930
Thank you. Thank you

510
00:41:45,930 --> 00:41:48,370
Anyone else to speak in favor of this request?

511
00:41:52,190 --> 00:41:55,070
Here you none anyone to speak in opposition here

512
00:41:58,370 --> 00:42:00,150
you none. We'll close the public hearing for its request

513
00:42:00,150 --> 00:42:01,690
Commissioner's comments questions.

514
00:42:03,810 --> 00:42:06,750
I've got a question. It's manufacturers court

515
00:42:07,610 --> 00:42:09,230
Does it dump out into

516
00:42:10,470 --> 00:42:17,370
316. It dumps out into a four lane. The street does. It appears. It's it's

517
00:42:17,370 --> 00:42:22,150
off of highway. Atlanta highway. Is Atlanta highway. Okay. North of the

518
00:42:22,150 --> 00:42:25,830
photograph. It's the highway. Yes. All right. The entrance. I'm just I'm

519
00:42:25,830 --> 00:42:28,710
pulling our point out by God and I saw four lane out there.

520
00:42:30,710 --> 00:42:31,510
Divided highway.

521
00:42:33,290 --> 00:42:37,330
I'll make a motion. Thank you. I'll make a motion to approve the special use

522
00:42:37,330 --> 00:42:42,670
request and with the one single step condition.

523
00:42:43,390 --> 00:42:45,730

524
00:42:46,030 --> 00:42:47,090
Seconded, the district one.

525
00:42:47,410 --> 00:42:47,970
Any discussion?

526
00:42:50,870 --> 00:42:52,410
All those in favor of the motion raise your hand.

527
00:42:53,650 --> 00:42:54,670

532

I will be on one could forget the politics whether or not you

533
00:43:09,550 --> 00:43:14,010
If we are ready that's the last that's the last item on the agenda and I'm ready to go home

534
00:43:14,010 --> 00:43:16,110
So I'm going to ask for a motion to adjourn
