Ms. Sue Fowler gave her address as 2435 Fayetteville Road (Highway 92) and stated she was speaking on behalf of the residents in the vicinity. She presented pictures of the home in question showing where it looks like flea market items were in the yard for weekend sales.

Chairman Kendall asked Mr. Fernander if he would like to address any of the concerns brought up by the residents. Mr. Fernander stated that it does look bad right now. He said that he does have a lot of old excess furniture right now that he has been trying to sell and all of this will be stored when his big garage he is building in the back is completed.

He said there would be no signs out there to sell embroidery items nor does he plan to sell anything from his home.

Mr. Bill Johnston gave his address as 124 North Hill Street and stated he was speaking on behalf of the owners. He said that the owners were requesting the rezoning to open a game room in one of the buildings located on this property. He said that Mr. Ward has already expended between $25,000 to $30,000 on the building. He said that Mr. Ward is tearing down one of the buildings for parking and renovating all of the other buildings. DOT has requested egress and ingress to this property off Highway 362. He said this property was originally Huff Tire Co. and has been vacant for a period of time. Since that time period it has been used for a flea market at times. He said that they understand the concern of a new subdivision being put in adjacent to the property; however, their position is that this will be an upgrade to the property as opposed to hurting the property.

Mr. Ward addressed the Board and stated that he did not know when he bought the place that it would revert back to residential so he had already begun remodeling out there before he found out that the zoning had changed.

There was no one else signed up to speak on this application.

Motion made by Commissioner Childres to approve Application #00-21Z with condition that demolition of building be completed within 90 days. Commissioner Martha McDaniel seconded the motion and motion was approved by a vote of 3-1 with Commissioner Massengale voting against the motion. Resolution will be incorporated into the minutes on second and final reading.

Application #00-24Z: Julian and Charles Mobley, Owners – 7.49 acres on Caldwell Road, located in Land Lot 59 of the 3^rd Land District – requesting a rezoning from AR-1, Agricultural and Residential, to R-2, Single Family Residential. Mr. Julian Mobley gave his address as 543 School Road and spoke on behalf of his application. He and his brother intend to construct custom homes on this property no less than 1,250 sq. ft of heated living space. He said the current property has an abandoned house, barn and well and will be demolished. He is not sure how many lots the property will be divided into.

The following were signed up to speak in opposition of this rezoning application.

Mr. Rod Rosenthal gave his address as 365 Caldwell Road. He said that he and others feel that this is not the way they want the neighborhood to go. He said that he had photographs of all the homes on the road and feels this size home would not be consistent with the surrounding homes as they are 1500 sq. ft. and above. He said he feels that if the Board does rezone this piece of property that it will open the door for the larger tracts on the north end of Caldwell Road to be rezoned and set a precedence. He said that he considers this “spot zoning”. Mr. Rosenthal stated he was not objecting to Mr. Mobley or anyone building on this property but does not think it should be 1250 sq. ft. homes and feels that if the zoning remains AR-1 that would not be the case.

He read a letter from Frank and Gail Bush who could not attend the meeting. The letter stated that they understood that the homes would be 1250 sq. ft. with no carports. They said they were planning to build a home on their property on Caldwell Road in 2001 and chose this land because of the country setting that exists and all the homes were on 4+ acre lots from Andrews Road north with larger homes over 1500 sq. ft. They plan to build a 2700 sq. ft. home. They appealed to the Board to deny this request for rezoning.

Mr. Gary Pugh gave his address as 153 Caldwell Road and stated his residence is adjacent across from the new houses. He said that most of the tracts of land are five (5) acres. It was a dirt road when they built their home but now it is a paved road. He said that his residence is on nine (9) acres and living space is 1850 sq. ft. with a carport and a basement. He said that he would like to see some larger houses on a little larger tract on this property so it won’t detract from these existing homes in this neighborhood.

Mr. Charles Jeffries gave his address as 160 Caldwell Road and stated he built the first house on Caldwell Road in 1976 and has between 1800 and 1900 sq. ft. in it. He said that he understands the county has got to grow and build houses; however, he feels that they should not be able to build small houses on this piece of property. He said that Mr. Mobley has said that he does not know what he is going to do yet and until he finds out he is opposed to it.

Mr. Danny Moore gave his address as 400 Caldwell Road and stated he purchased the 9.7 acres to build his home on because of the rural area. He said that he built a 1650 sq. ft. house with a full basement on his property. He said that he would not be opposed to nice houses going on this property under the covenant that he was under when he purchased his land. The covenant was no less than five (5) acres with a minimum of 1500 sq. ft. heated space. He feels like the 1250 sq. ft. homes on smaller acreage are going to devalue his property. He also had concerns of how the county was going to supply water when we are in a drought and water supply may be exhausted within the next thirty (30) days.

Mr. Charles Pass gave his address as 340 Caldwell Road and stated he owns twelve (12) acres of land and has built a 2,000 sq. ft. home on this property. He said that Mr. Mobley has been very vague about his intentions for this piece of property and he is concerned about the investment of his property. He said that he was not opposed to growth and development in Spalding County but it should be done in a proper way and to build and deteriorate property value in his opinion is going backwards.

Ms. Tami Sexton gave her address as 175 Caldwell Road and stated that she lives on 14.3 acres and built to be in a country setting. She said to know that someone can come in and put five (5) houses on seven (7) acres of land is disturbing. She voiced concerns regarding additional traffic and deterioration of existing property values. She said two or three nicer bigger houses would be fine with her.

Commissioner Kendall commented that the way the property is currently zoned Mr. Mobley can build three (3) houses at 1250 sq. ft.

Mr. Mobley readdressed the Commissioners regarding some of the concerns raised tonight by the residents. He said that he too would like to see open land left open and rural. He said that they propose to build 1250 sq. ft. upgrade homes here. He said that this seems to be a good market area. He said that he feels that this is not out of character and compatibility from what already exists presently across the road. He said that he couldn’t understand the opposition.

Chairman Kendall commented that most of the houses on this road are over 1400 heated sq. ft. and this seems to be evidence for the arguments made here tonight. Commissioner Kendall asked Mr. Mobley if there was any willingness on his part to increase the square footage.

Mr. Mobley said because of the watershed protection requirements his property would now be reduced from five (5) lots to four (4) lots and was not aware of this when application was made.

Commissioner Childres commented to Mr. Mobley that he is sitting in a transitional area and he hears the neighbors saying don’t depreciate our property. Mr. Childres stated that he had no problem with the square footage or the density because he was only going to get 1.25 acres per lot but said he was concerned about the houses not having a garage. He said if you add a double garage on a house, you can’t tell what square footage the house is by just looking at it from the road and this would give you and the neighbors a good transition and protect the neighbors. He asked Mr. Mobley if he was willing to add a double carport.

Mr. Mobley answered that certainly he would. Mr. Mobley stated that this 1250 sq. ft. was only a starting point. He said on many R-2 they have built well above the 1250 sq. ft. minimum on many acres. He said he was not asking to build to devalue anyone’s property.

Zoning Attorney Newton Galloway spoke regarding the Watershed Protection Act. He said that they were having to reassess watershed protection areas in order to comply with the state. He said that the builders and developers could expect further action on this.

Mr. Mobley stated that he would like to withdraw his application. He said that it appeared to have six (6) lots, then down to five (5) lots under the plan and now is down to four (4) lots under the new watershed regulation. He said that he has three (3) lots already and the property can be developed as it is.

Chairman Kendall called for a five-minute recess.

Chairman Kendall called the meeting back to order.

Application #00-25Z: Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Co., Owner – Mike Baynard, Inc., Agent – 92.683 acres on Jim Goodson Road and Highway 92, located in Land Lot 82 & 111 of the 4^th Land District – requesting a rezoning from R-2, Single Family Residential & AR-1, Agricultural and Residential to R-2A, Single Family and Two Family Residential. Mr. Mike Baynard gave his address as 1423 Fairview Road, Brooks, GA. and spoke on behalf of this application. He said that he would like to modify his request from R-2A to R-2, Single Family Residential, and no duplexes. He said the subdivision consist of 75 lots with 50 ft. setback, sodded front yards, curb and gutter, street lights and underground utilities with 1250 sq. ft. heated living area with attached carport or garage. He said the subdivision would consist of between 50 to 60 houses.

The following individuals were signed up to speak in opposition to this application.

Ms. Linda Gilbert gave her address as 111 N. Walkers Mill Road and stated that we keep getting more and more subdivisions with more and more people and she is concerned about the water condition and where these people are going to get water. She addressed her concerns about the density of subdivisions.

Mr. Dick Morrow gave his address as 263 Westchester Drive and stated his objections to this rezoning. He addressed high density in this area and stated since the zoning had been modified to R-2, he would like to see a plat before this goes much further. He addressed soil problems, septic tank problems and the addition of more. He also addressed the watershed at Head’s Creek Reservoir that will be impacted by septic tanks and high density. He said that he would be in favor of nice homes on larger acreage tracts.

Ms. Linda Williams gave her address as 4361 Fayetteville Road and stated she was prepared tonight to fight duplexes. She presented the Board with a petition with sixty-two (62) signatures against duplexes should Mr. Baynard change his mind. She addressed her concerns with density in the area, contamination of their water supply and the water shortage throughout Spalding County.

Mr. Wayne Dowda gave his address as 4265 Fayetteville Road and stated his property is adjacent to this property and he has built a 2400 sq. ft. home. He had concerns about the entranceway being cut right in front of his house and the additional traffic. He addressed concerns of small houses on small acreage. He addressed the problems of additional septic tanks and the soil quality of this area. He said he would not mind seeing bigger better houses on bigger lots.

Ms. Chelsea Whitaker gave her address as 59 Diane Drive and stated she lives across the highway from the proposed property. She said that she appreciated Mr. Baynard withdrawing the duplexes. She wanted to know how can you put a house on 1.25 acres and have a repair line for your septic tank. She said that all the new septic systems are going to go straight into the reservoir and the neighborhood nor Griffin does not need that. She said she wasn’t against building the houses but she suggested that there be a moratorium on building until we get the water system in place.

Ms. Carol Helms gave her address as 111 Jim Goodson Road stated she too appreciated Mr. Baynard withdrawing the duplexes. She expressed her concerns regarding the soil quality in the area. She said they could not find where any perk tests had been done on the property and would like to see some of the perks done. She said that she does not want her well contaminated. She asked for good development in the county.

Ms. Denise Doyal gave her address as 445 Jim Goodson Road and stated she owns eight (8) acres. She said they have livestock and train horses on their property. She wanted to know how a subdivision was going to fit in with her eight (8) acres and horses. She too was concerned about her well being contaminated.

Ms. Cheryl Anderson gave her address as 180 Mangham Road and stated that she owns a house on Jim Goodson Road and her biggest concern is the water situation. She was also concerned about additional traffic and enough acreage to support a septic system.

Mr. Joe Pruitt gave his address as 4264 Fayetteville Road and stated that he owns twelve (12) acres and wanted to build two (2) houses but couldn’t do it because he could not get the land to perk and is concerned about the septic systems and contamination of the water.

Ms. Sue Harrell gave her address as 1135 Vaughn Road and stated her father owns land adjacent to this property and she too appreciated Mr. Baynard withdrawing the duplexes from the application. She had concerns about the water and the property not perking. She said that she had tried to build on land that wouldn’t perk and did not see how Mr. Baynard was going to build on this land. She said that this area has a country atmosphere and feels like it should stay that way.

Mr. Tim Riordan gave his address as 600 Jim Goodson Road and stated he moved to this community for the agriculture. He said that he has four (4) acres and his home is 2500 sq. ft. He said that he had considered buying the five (5) acres adjacent to his property; however, it would not perk. He expressed his concerns for the county and urge the commission to help us have the type of county that people want to move to and live in and upgrade our community.

Mr. Robbie Simmons gave his address as 144 Davidson Circle and stated his concerns over the water situation. He said that the county had not implemented impact fees for builders and had let way too many homes be built according to what the county is capable of supporting and feels that a moratorium should be issued on all further zoning and building until the water situation is taken care of and the county seriously addresses the concerns of the people. He said that he is not against people moving into starter homes as he lives in one himself but the welfare of the citizens needs to be top priority.

Mr. Dennis Wood gave his address as 373 Jim Goodson Road and owns the eighty (80) acres south joining this property. He addressed the soil quality. He said he was told he would be lucky to put one (1) house on his eighty (80) acres and how can they build a subdivision. He wanted to know if the builder was going to have to go by the same standards that he had to. He said he purchased this land because it was agricultural and wanted it to stay that way.

Mr. Jeff Buffington gave his address as 4200 Fayetteville Highway. He stated his most concern was for the duplexes. He said that he would like to see bigger houses built on more acreage. He addressed his concerns about the septic tank systems, water contamination, density, and traffic.

Mr. Baynard readdressed the Commissioners regarding the issues and concerns raised tonight by the citizens. He said that they do not build anything “shabby” and the 1250 sq. ft. houses will look good. He said as far as water problems, you are talking about four (4) or five (5) months before I start on the development and another two (2) or three (3) months before building is ever started and the water problem hopefully will be solved by then. He said if there are water problems, we would be glad to drill wells.

Chairman Kendall made comments at this time and said that he did not want to shut down development in this county but it would be prudent to exercise some discretion and not start a fairly major subdivision during this water drought. He said that fall is the driest part of the year and we are already in a complete water ban and we will probably be facing some water restrictions for the rest of the year and even into next year. Mr. Kendall commented that there could possibly not be any water to try to sell his houses. The City has suggested that we slow down on our development until the water situation has been resolved.

Commissioner Martha McDaniel commented that bigger issues were addressed tonight more than the water such as soil and stormwater runoff in our creeks and rivers. Motion made by Commissioner Martha McDaniel to deny Application #00-25Z. Commissioner Childres seconded the motion and motion was unanimously approved by a vote of 4-0.

Chairman Kendall called for a short recess to let the room get cleared out of citizens.

Chairman Kendall called the meeting back to order.

Application #00-06Z: Lift from the table - Dexter and Tina Wiggins, Owners – 625 Jordan Hill Road – requesting a rezoning from AR-1, Agricultural and Residential, to R-2, Single Family Residential.

Upon motion by Commissioner Childres, seconded by Commissioner Martha McDaniel Application #00-06Z was unanimously lifted from the table by a vote of 4-0.

Mr. Dexter Wiggins gave his address as 625 Jordan Hill Road and spoke on behalf of his application. He said the type of development he has chosen will only improve this community. He said all the properties that connect to the proposed development are singlewide, doublewide mobile homes with the exception of two (2) Jim Walter Homes and on the far corner one (1) conventional constructed home. He said his proposed subdivision will have one private entrance with an accel-decel lane to control the traffic and will be landscaped with trees and a fence. All the houses will have a ranch-style appearance. He said he plans to develop in two (2) different phases. The minimum square footage in Phase II will be gradually upgraded to 1350 sq. ft. He said in total there would be twenty-six (26) existing structures.

He submitted restrictive covenants by him as condition to his rezoning approval as follows: 1350 sq. ft. minimum in second phase, blue prints of all homes approved by developer and the county, all out buildings separate from the house must have the same siding and roofing as existing home, no exposed block on foundation and foundation must be finished with stucco/brick/rock or stone, all roofs must be a minimum of 6:12 roof pitch, landscaping will consist of no less than 12 shrubs and 3 large growing trees at the rear of each lot for screening, lot will be finished graded, seeded and straw, no chain link fences allowed and all fencing must be improved by writing by the developer, no non-mobile vehicles allowed in subdivision and towed at owners expense.

He stated at a previous Board of Commissioners meeting some concerns were property perk and traffic control and since that meeting he had communicated these concerns to the Board of Presley, Burn, Harper & Associates and the environmental department of Spalding County. The conclusion was at the proper time we would overcome these objections but there would be no secondary systems installed. Some of the solutions would be high in cost and upfront expense occurred by him. He respectfully asked for a redress.

The following were signed up to speak in opposition to this application.

Mr. Stan Perdue gave his address as 811 Jordan Hill Road. He said he was concerned about the two (2) dangerous curves in the existing area and concerned about the water problem, the drainage and the sewer. He said this pasture land is solid granite rock and there will be drainage/runoff.

Mr. Daryl Perdue gave his address as 34 Mimosa Road. He said that he was a plumbing instructor at Griffin Technical College. He read the section of the Georgia State Code Book E-104.2.2 and 104.2.3 regarding percolation tests and E-103 regarding sewerage contamination. He said that there is a creek going down that line and the code is the law. He said that he would like to see a percolation test to verify that this test has been done or respectfully asked that this application be tabled until proof of percolation has been shown. He said if you build in this community the good people are going to leave.

Ms. Mary McCurry gave her address as 106 Ponderosa Road. She said that she purchased her piece of property in 1973 and lives in a mobile home. She said that it is country out there, is already crowded enough, traffic is bad, there are already enough dogs running loose and with the water situation like it is, she asked the Board to reconsider not giving Mr. Wiggins the permit.

Mr. Bill Handley gave his address 943 Jordan Hill Road. He said that this is the third time he has come down here addressing this application. He said the first time Mr. Wiggins wanted to build a plantation and now it is a subdivision. He stated at the March meeting he had a septic tank problem with the neighbor at 945 and he was going to call the Health Department, which he did. He said the Health Department came out and gave them thirty (30) days to do something. They tried but they could not get the septic tank in for the rock and it is setting above the ground, covered with dirt and looks like an anthill. The company tried to put the drain field in for 2 ½ days. He said Mr. Wiggins is going to run into the same problem regarding putting in drain fields for septic tanks.

Mr. Bob Draby gave his address as 136 Ponderosa Road and lives directly behind this proposed development property. He stated he agreed with everything everyone had already said tonight and is still against this rezoning. He also addressed the soil quality in this area.

Mr. Johnny Bennett gave his address as 843 Jordan Hill Road. He said that this was his grandfather’s land and when the property was divided in half, the agreement was that Dexter was to build a plantation, not houses. He agreed with all the concerns that have been presented tonight. He addressed the granite rock and septic tank issue and stated that there is going to be a lot of expense to develop this land. He had asked Dexter to sell the land to members of the family so they could make a plantation out of it.

Mr. Tim Weaver gave his address as 605 Jordan Hill Road and stated he had lived at this address for 32 years. He said that he would like for the land to stay as it is and be family oriented.

Mr. Church McDermitt gave his address as 60 Ponderosa Road. He made suggestions if this application were to be approved. He was referring to Mr. Wiggins’ restrictive covenants and stated he would like for them to be read into the motion to make sure they would be there for sure. He said he would also like to see a hold put on the construction until the water ban can be lifted.

Mr. Lee Corrow gave his address as 336 Roberts Quarters Road, Concord, GA (Pike County). He said that he didn’t understand why Dexter wouldn’t sell this land where the members of the family could make a plantation on it. He said there were a lot of places where he could buy some land to build his subdivision. He said that he could not see how Dexter was going to prevent the waste from getting into the water table as he had lived out there most all of his life and knew the land.

Mr. Wiggins readdressed the Commissioners on the comments made. He said there was a dangerous curve and if the residents are concerned, he is concerned. He said there would be some expense in helping this situation but he will do it. He said the reason he did not want to develop two (2) acre lots was because of the expense to him in developing this piece of property.

It was brought out that under the AR-1 zoning he would not be allowed to construct a subdivision at all. There could be no roads cut and he could only build what would be allowed with the requirements of road frontage. He would still have to rezone the property.

Chairman Kendall stated the two concerns seem to be environmental and density. He said as Mr. Baynard was told with the water situation as it is, residents can’t understand why we would propose adding additional homes to this already serious problem.

Michael Sabine, Community Development Director, addressed the Board at this time. He said that he had personally walked over this property and there is a lot of rock out there. He said that Wayne Moss has had a lot of septic tank problems out there. He said that Mr. Wiggins' septic tank is about 300 feet from his home because that is where the best soil was in place. He said that he has personal concerns as well as professional concerns about the topography.

Zoning Attorney Newton Galloway stated that we couldn’t get out of Environmental Health any type of preliminary analysis to tell us whether or not what presented on a plat is capable of being done. He said we don’t know how many lots will perk and can be built on.

Mr. Massengale commented that with what all has been presented tonight; he does not believe that this community can support this type of subdivision.

Commissioner Massengale made a motion to deny Application #00-06Z. Commissioner Martha McDaniel seconded the motion and motion was unanimously approved by a vote of 4-0.

Amendment to UDO #A-00-10: Article 2. Definitions of Terms Used – Section 202:R’ – amend definition of campground, religious for allowance of a church.

Commissioner Martha McDaniel commented on this Amendment to the UDO. She said that we approved for New Era Church to have their meeting and made the standards very strong for them regarding the microphones and the noise because we respected Rev. Poole’s request and felt as we were being fair. She said that she had telephone calls complaining about the microphones on all day long. She said that this has been documented. She said that she was very disappointed in what they said they were going to do and how they actually did.

Chairman Kendall stated that if they did not abide by the rules then we need to notify them and put this issue on an agenda. Mr. Kendall asked Mr. Sabine to find out who made the complaints and what the nature of the complaints were and he will make sure that New Era is notified what happened.

Zoning Attorney Newton Galloway spoke on this amendment. He said that motion was made on May 25, 2000 to send this back to Planning Commission for inclusion into the definition of what would constitute or potential limitations on how a church could operate in a religious campground with directions to consider indoor and outdoor restrictions, time of day restrictions, and/or percentages of use per year as a church restriction.

He said these instructions were carried back to Planning Commission and they reconsidered the definition and made the decision that the amendment as proposed was the best way to handle with no modifications. This would mean a regular meeting church could locate at the campground site on a structure that presently exists. If any campground wanted to make any modifications, they would have to come in and get a permit for a special exception.

Motion made by Commissioner Martha McDaniel to approve UDO-A-00-10. Commissioner Childres seconded the motion. Commissioner Martha McDaniel made a motion to call the question. Commissioner Childres seconded the motion. Commissioner Martha McDaniel commented there is a motion on the floor and the question has been called. Chairman Kendall commented he was the Chairman and we are not calling the question as discussion is still going on. Again Commissioner Martha McDaniel called for the question and Commissioner Childres seconded.

Chairman Kendall stated that he needed some more clarification and it would only take a few minutes. There was a discussion about New Era coming in to the office in 1997 to get a Special Exception to have a campground.
