He noted it came to his attention in December at a city council meeting, pursuant to one of the councilmembers questions, Attorney Scott Bertghold was asked if could pass permissible legally a band on nude dancing and alcohol clubs as new business and grandfather in the Pink Pony. He reported Mr. Bergthold responded it would violate equal protection. Mr. Begner stated this was not true. DeKalb County did same thing, grandfathered clubs there. Mr. Begner claimed Mr. Bergtholds response was consistent with his billing methods which was to charge a small amount to pass a band on nude dancing and alcohol and charge $100,000s to defend a lawsuit, which was his position that establishment cannot grandfather. He noted the City does not have any citizens that really care whether Pink Pony was put out of business. It is located in extreme south Brookhaven and there are not any sensitive uses. He urged the City Council to grandfather Pink Pony in and the citizens will appreciate that the City doesnt spend $100,000s of dollars to defend a lawsuit. He noted the lawsuit was almost ready to file. He asked Mayor and Council to please take this into consideration.

C) OPENING REMARKS Mayor Davis D) APRIL 23, 2013 PRE MEETING AGENDA REVIEW Councilmember Eyre asked for an update on the Police Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) and Attorney Bill Riley and City Manager Marie Garrett reported the contract would be deferred until the payment schedule was finalized. Ms. Garrett reported Brookhavens police chief was communicating with the DeKalb Police Department. The transaction of county managers has resulted in different understanding of the payment schedule. Councilmember Mattison inquired if the number of police officers assigned for Brookhaven were documented anywhere. Mr. Riley explained it was not, but they all were committed to covering Brookhaven area. E) UPCOMING AGENDA ITEMS 1. Storm Water Ordinance Ms. Garrett reported on the planned process for the City to take over the storm water program. She referred to the first read ordinance which was on the following meeting agenda. The ordinance would create the utility and enterprise fund. Councilmember Williams asked how funds would be collected. Ms. Garrett explained the upcoming truing up of the storm water funds with DeKalb County, and how the City would collect money in the future. Mr. Meehan explained how Public Works and IT staff are retrieving the commercial areas and parcels electronically to ensure properties are in the GIS system. Councilmember Eyre asked for clarification of calculation of fees and rates among residential and commercial properties. Mr. Meehan indicated the current $48 fee wasnt enough to keep up with maintenance costs as some neighborhoods are 40 years old. Mr. Meehan reported DeKalb has already done inventory and we have that data and will be able to develop a needs assessment and capital improvement plan. DeKalb County is at $48 now but could raise to $60. The County is having public hearings regarding the storm water fees. We will be billing this year and will pass a resolution with determined rates at a later time. Councilmember Gebbia inquired if inventory was a visual roadside inventory. Mr. Meehan reported the County did not video the pipes but did a basic visual review of the condition of structures from roadside or opening up the culprits. Councilmember Williams asked Co1

if street sweeper services could be used from these funds. Mr. Meehan opined that it would depend on the interpretation of the ordinance. There was a possibility according to the legal interpretation. Councilmember Mattison asked about funding for catastrophic incidents. Mr. Meehan explained there would be an emergency contingency fund, recommending 20-30% be set aside, and noted the City could possibly receive reimbursement from FEMA or state agencies. Discussion followed about relying on DeKalbs studies when the City adopts the resolution for fee structure. Finance Director Bonnie Kline provided details of the process of the bids sent out for professional auditing services by the previous Finance Director Chris Pike. She reported the City received a good response. She and Mr. Pike reviewed the bids and both were comfortable with the lowest bidder, and number one pick, Mauldin and Jenkins. This firm is experienced in governmental audits and have conducted audits for several start-up cities. Council discussed the role of the auditing committee. 2. Intergovernmental Agreements update - Ms. Garrett reported the amount of dollars for the Parks and Recreation IGA were agreed upon, but the method of payment and frequency have been changed during the hiring of the new county manager. She is waiting to hear from the county manager. 3. Fee Simple Townhome Proposed Code Amendment Update Ms. Garrett reported we were looking at a situation with a development which was experiencing difficulty in financing. The applicant initially wanted to change to a fee simple so could be sold as dirt under the slab. Community Development Director Susan Canon had found a solution although there are other matters to be considered. Potential text amendments were reviewed at the last work session. Ms. Canon reported she had looked at other jurisdictions and met with DeKalb County regarding this type of development. She reported she had looked deeper, looked at site plan and ordinance and met with attorney. She noted she believed this development could move forward under current zoning and the 22 conditions. She believed there does not have to be a text amendment or rezoning of the property. It was a matter of how it was presented to the financial people. The developers attorney has indicated it was their desire to develop the current plan. Councilmember Gebbia stated this issue has been going on for a long time, and he was happy to hear there was a potential answer. The neighborhood has been notified. There are a couple of other hurdles but attorneys are working on solution. Ms. Canon explained that with fee simple, the resident owns land under ground. Condos are all common ownership. The financial establishment would probably require a formal action letter form the City. Mr. Eyre provided additional information on financing regarding fee simple properties and consideration of what the market would bring for fee simple townhomes. Ms. Canon provided additional details about the current application and current zoning and DeKalb Countys philosophy about the application. Councilmember Mattison noted the City should have input from the developmental community and that the City be developmental friendly. Ms. Garrett noted this would be a discussion for the retreat. She addressed a need for a process for potential changes to site plans resulting from unforeseen conditions and changes in the field. She will be reaching out for some dates for a retreat to be held before the Georgia Municipal Association Conference in June. Update on Moratorium: Overlay findings- Ms. Canon reported that per instructions form council, she had met with Mr. Portman, Michael Elliott, Bill Draper, Jack Hondered, Eric Boseman, with neighbors, and posted on web requesting public input. She distributed a summary of the public comments. She explained how when looking at the overlay and if take sentences out of context, there could be misunderstandings.

This resolution clarifies the processing fee was $40. City Attorney Bill Riley explained we adopted DeKalb Countys fines and fees in February.

MEMORANDUM
ISSUE/AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Consideration and Approval Ordinance ORD 2013-05-03 as Second Read to Amend Chapter 25 ("Water, Sewer and Sewage Disposal") of the Code of the City of Brookhaven, Georgia, to Adopt a New Article V, Entitled "Stormwater Utility" BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
Since 2004, DeKalb County has had a Stormwater Utility in the unincorporated areas of the County including the area that is now the City of Brookhaven. Funding for the Stormwater Utility is generated by a Stormwater Utility Fee which the county has billed property owners as an item on the property tax bill. Only undeveloped properties, public rights-of-way, and railroad rights-of-way are exempt from this fee. The Utility is responsible for monitoring, inspecting, and maintaining the stormwater drainage system. The funds, which are kept in a separate enterprise fund from General tax revenue, are allocated throughout the county to maintain and repair the storm drainage systems as needed and determined by the county. In order to better control how the stormwater fees generated by the property owners of the city are spent, there is a benefit to the City to establish their own Stormwater Utility and take over the responsibility for the maintenance and repair of the system. The attached ordinance, Chapter 25, Article V, would: Establish findings that provide the justification for establishing a Stormwater Utility for the City of Brookhaven. Establish the Stormwater Utility for the City of Brookhaven and set the Scope of Responsibility of the Utility. Establish a separate Enterprise Fund for collection and allocation of stormwater utility fees. Establish the policy for determining and collecting the stormwater utility fees and credits.
The ordinance does not set the actual stormwater fee. We expect to present a separate Resolution to the Mayor and City Council in May which will set the Stormwater Utility Fee to be charged property owners for 2013.

STATE OF GEORGIA CITY OF BROOKHAVEN ORDINANCE AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 25 (WATER, SEWER AND SEWAGE DISPOSAL) OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF BROOKHAVEN, GEORGIA, TO ADOPT A NEW ARTICLE V, ENTITLED STORMWATER UTILITY WHEREAS, the Mayor and Council of the City of Brookhaven are charged with the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Brookhaven; and WHEREAS, the City is authorized to provide for stormwater collection and disposal throughout the City and to provide for regulation thereof and collection of fees therefor; and WHEREAS, the Mayor and Council find that regulating the stormwater system will provide for the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City through prevention of public and private property damage resulting form stormwater runoff by providing for proper drainage systems throughout the City; and WHEREAS, the Mayor and Council desire to take over the stormwater system previously managed by DeKalb County in order to properly manage same for the benefits of the citizens of the City. NOW, THEREFORE, the Mayor and Council of the City of Brookhaven hereby ordains, as follows:
Section 1: Chapter 25, Water, Sewer and Sewage Disposal of The Code of the City of Brookhaven, Georgia, is hereby amended adding Article V (Stormwater Utility) to read as follows:
ARTICLE V. STORMWATER UTILITY Sec. 25-360. Findings. The Mayor and City Council of the City of Brookhaven, Georgia makes the following findings:
Page 3
Packet Pg. 20
J.1
(a)
The city is authorized by the supplementary powers provisions of Ga. Const. art. IX, II, III(a)(6) to provide a stormwater collection and disposal system throughout the city. The federal Clean Water Act, as amended by the Water Quality Act of 1987 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and rules promulgated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to the Act emphasizes the role of local governments in developing, implementing, conducting and funding stormwater programs which address water quality impacts of storm water runoff. Given the project cost of stormwater management programs, systems and facilities identified in the professional engineering and financial analyses performed by DeKalb County and obtained by the City, it is appropriate to adopt a stormwater service fee rate methodology and to charge service fees to properties and persons within the City in a manner that recovers the cost of programs, systems and facilities and other costs associated therewith, including but not limited to allocations of the cost of services provided to the stormwater management utility by other funds of the city and other government entities and agencies, interest on bonds, operational and emergency reserves, allowances for delinquencies and bad debt, and such other costs as may be deemed reasonable and appropriate by the Mayor and City Council to ensure the management, maintenance, protection, control, regulation, use and enhancement of stormwater programs, systems and facilities in the City. The stormwater conditions reflected in the study conducted by the County and obtained by the City reflect the current conditions of the stormwater system in the City. Stormwater management is applicable and needed throughout the City of Brookhaven. Stormwater service fee rate methodology and service fees should be applicable throughout the City to enable the City to successfully manage operate and improve stormwater programs, systems and facilities at an advanced level. Service fees will also assist the City in meeting the regulatory obligations imposed by its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits by reducing pollution and increasing water quality within the City. The stormwater needs in the City include but are not limited to protecting the public health, safety and welfare. Funding of stormwater programs, systems and facilities is therefore incidental to the fundamental regulatory function of the City in protecting the public health, safety and welfare.

Provision of stormwater management programs, systems and facilities renders and/or results in both services and benefits to individual properties, property owners, citizens and residents of the City and to all properties, property owners, citizens and residents of the City concurrently in a variety of ways as identified in the professional engineering and financial analyses, and the services and benefits differ among the individual properties, property owners, citizens and residents in relation to the demands they impose individually and collectively on the stormwater systems and facilities. The services and benefits rendered or resulting from the provision of stormwater management programs, systems and facilities may differ over time depending on many factors and considerations, including but not limited to location, demands and impacts imposed on the stormwater systems and facilities, and risk exposure. It is not practical to allocate the cost of the City's stormwater management programs, systems and facilities in direct relationship to the services or benefits rendered to or received by individual properties or persons over a brief span of time, but it is both practical and equitable to allocate the cost of stormwater management among properties and persons in proportion to the long-term demands they impose on the City's stormwater programs, systems and facilities which render or result in services and benefits. City of Brookhaven presently owns and operates stormwater management systems and facilities which have been developed, installed and acquired through various mechanisms over many years. The future usefulness of the existing stormwater systems owned and operated by the City, and of additions and improvements thereto, rests on the ability of the City to effectively manage, protect, control, regulate, use, and enhance stormwater systems and facilities in the City of Brookhaven. In order to do so, the City must have adequate and stable funding for its stormwater management program operating and capital investment needs.

BACKGROUND The site is currently a house of worship, the North Atlanta Gospel Chapel, consisting of 3.909 acres with one structure, a paved parking lot on the southwest side of the building and an additional, larger paved parking lot on the north side of the building. Currently zoned R-75 (Single family Residential District), the lot is located on the west side of North Druid Hills Road, approximately halfway between the intersections of Colonial Drive and Brookshire Lane. The subject property is surrounded by single-family detached homes immediately adjacent, with the exception of a 7-unit townhome property to the south. The lot is considerably higher in elevation than the grade elevation at the centerline of the adjacent street, and has limited sight distance to the north due to its location inside a curve in the road. There are no trees on the interior portion of the lot, yet the lots boundary is effectively completely wooded with a mature canopy of mixed hardwoods and pine trees. The applicant, Rockhaven Homes, is seeking to rezone the site from R-75 (single-family residential) to RM-75 (Multi-family Residential District) to construct a 40 unit townhome project with a final development density of 10.23 dwelling units per acre. SITE PLAN ANALYSIS The submitted site plan indicates the demolition of the existing structure and parking lots on the site, to allow for the construction of 40 townhome units divided into six individual structures. If rezoned in accordance with the submitted site plan, the building setbacks for the structures proposed on the east and west sides of the lot will require zoning variances from the Citys Zoning Board of Appeals. The east building is proposed to be built 15 feet from the right of way (the district standard is 35 feet), and the building proposed for the west side is indicated to be built 25 feet from the property line (the district standard is 40 feet). Although the buildings adjacent to the north and south property lines are compliant with the district standard 20-foot side yard building setback, there is a requirement for a 50foot, non-disturbed buffer between two dissimilar zoning districts. The applicant will need to secure a variance to permit the indicated 20-foot buffer, 10 feet of which is to be left as non-disturbed. A new, 24-foot wide private driveway will access the site at the southeast corner of the lot, and route its way west, along the southern property border to the interior of the property, before turning toward the northwest corner to provide access to the homes on the western side of the lot. Two storm water ponds are proposed, one in the far southwest corner of the lot, the other centered adjacent to the northern property boundary. A large, landscaped traffic island is proposed just west of the lots center, to be used as a park area, constructed as a focal point for the four townhome buildings which face it. Although the private street that serves the project is proposed to be 24 feet wide, there are two stubbed alleyways which are 16 feet wide, and one more that is 18 feet wide. LANDSCAPE PLAN ANALYSIS The landscape plan submitted is not a construction drawing, but appears to indicate the removal of the lots existing trees which border the property. The existing canopy on the site is located along the property lines to the south, west and north, and is less than 30 feet in depth in most places. The tree replacement plan provided in the applicants submittal documents indicates a 20 foot landscape buffer on the north and south property lines, a 25 foot buffer on the western property line and a 15 foot buffer on the east side, adjacent to North Druid Hills Road. In these buffers, the applicant plans to install replacement trees to

REVIEW STANDARDS AND FACTORS 1. Whether the zoning proposal is in conformity with the policy and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. This property is listed on the future land use map in DeKalb Countys Comprehensive Plan 2005-2025 as Suburban Character and is within close proximity to Traditional Neighborhood and Town Center character areas. The Comprehensive Plan describes the Suburban Character Area as an area where typical types of suburban residential subdivision development have occurred and where pressures for the typical types of suburban residential subdivision development are greatest. The Plan indicates that the intent of the Suburban Character Area is to recognize those areas of the county that have developed in traditional suburban land use patterns while encouraging new development to have increased connectivity and accessibility. The proposed density for areas of this type is up to 8 dwelling units per acre as described in the Plan policy. 2. Whether the zoning proposal will permit a use that is suitable in view of the use and development of adjacent and nearby properties? It appears that the townhome use may be consistent with the policy intent of the Plan; however, the proposal does indicate a development density of slightly over ten (10) units per acre, and the Comprehensive Plan limits the density of this character area to eight units per acre. 3. Whether the property to be affected by the zoning proposal has a reasonable economic use as currently zoned? It appears that the subject property may have a reasonable economic use as presently zoned based on the church use and potential development of single family homes. 4. Whether the zoning proposal will adversely affect the existing use or usability of adjacent or nearby property? It appears that mitigating measures may be needed to alleviate adverse affects that may result from additional impact to the area from the development. It shall be noted that the impact on the area may have a more dispersed traffic pattern than the existing church use. 5. Whether there are other existing or changing conditions affecting the use and development of the property which gives supporting grounds for either approval or disapproval of the zoning proposal? DeKalb Countys 2005 2025 Comprehensive Land
Page 3 of 5
Packet Pg. 44
K.1.c
Use Plan indicates this property, and all the property within proximity to this as an Area Requiring Special Attention Rapid Development/Land Use Change, which may provide support to the requested change. 6. Whether the zoning proposal will adversely affect historic buildings, sites, districts, or archaeological resources? There are no such known historic buildings, sites, districts or archaeological resources identified, or known by staff, to be on or near this property. 7. Whether the proposal will result in a use which will or could cause an excessive or burdensome use of existing streets, transportation facilities, utilities or schools? North Druid Hills Road is a well-traveled arterial through this part of the city. The Brookhaven Public Works director has requested a traffic study to determine if there are suitable traffic warrants to compel the developer to install either a right turn deceleration lane at the front of the lot, or widen this section of North Druid Hills Road to provide a dedicated left turn lane into the project. To date, the City of Brookhaven has not received data from the DeKalb County Offices or the DeKalb County School System. The City of Brookhaven Police Department has indicated that the development will increase public safety demands, but not to any significant level.

ISSUE/AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Public Hearing and Resolution to Abandon the Right of Way on Property Located on Land Lot 237 of the 18Th Land District, DeKalb County, Georgia, at the Right of Way Alta Vista Drive and Milowyn Place, at Drew Valley Neighborhood BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
Purpose The attached resolution for the City Councils consideration is for making a determination th at a 0.152 acre section of Alta Vista Drive has ceased to be used by the public to the extent that no substantial public purpose is served by said section of right-of-way and to consider the abandonment of said right-of-way and authorizing the sale of the property to the adjoining property owner for the appraised Fair Market Value
Background The City has received a formal written request from the adjacent property owner to abandon a 0.152 acre section of Alta Vista Drive as shown on the attached survey, legal description. A copy of this request is also attached. The 0.152 acre tract is part of a strip of the right-of-way of Alta Vista Road between Milowyn Place and Dresden Drive on which no roadway has been built. In addition to the three lots owned by the requesting party, there are eight (8) other lots which abut this strip of unbuilt right-of-way. I have determined that this 0.152 section of the unbuilt right-of-way still leaves adequate right-of-way to provide public access to the other abutting lots and also to complete the remaining portion of Alta Vista Drive in the future. The requesting party has provided an appraisal of the 0.152 acre tract prepared by and independent rightof-way appraiser approved by the Georgia Department of Transportation. The appraised fair market value of the tract is $21,915.00. Sale of the property would return it to the tax roll and facilitate the enjoyment of the highest and best use of the abutting owners property. The City Attorney has reviewed the attached resolution and had approved it as to form.

Approve the attached resolution and authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents for the sale of the described property to the adjacent property owner.

Richard Meehan, Director of Public Works May 8, 2013 Traffic Calming Fee Resolution
Purpose The attached resolution for the City Councils consideration is for adopting the Traffic Calming Fee Rate for established Traffic Calming Districts in the City of Brookhaven for the 2013 tax year. Background DeKalb County for many years, has had a program for installing and maintaining traffic calming measures on local/residential streets in unincorporated areas of the county. In adopting Chapter 17 of the City of Brookhaven Code of Ordinances, the City Council has adopted the same Traffic Calming Program. Under this program, a street or group of can petition the county to conduct traffic a study and make a determination if traffic calming measures are warranted. If measures are warranted, a design is prepared and presented to the affected residents, and if 65% of the residents approve of the measures, the City Council can establish a Traffic Calming District, authorize the installation of the agreed upon measures, and assess an annual fee per parcel for the properties included in the district for maintenance of the traffic calming measures. Before the City of Brookhaven was established, the DeKalb had established Traffic Calming Districts on approximately 85 street within the current city limits. The City of Brookhaven since its incorporation and has taken over the operation and maintenance of these public roads and streets. As a part of this, the city has also agreed to take over these established Traffic Calming Districts and the maintenance of the measures within these districts. In order to cover the cost of this maintenance, the City of Brookhaven will need to assess and collect the traffic calming fees that property owners had previously paid to DeKalb County annually as a Special Assessment Fee on their Property Tax Bills. The attached resolution adopts the assessment at the same rate that DeKalb assessed in the 2012 tax year of $25.00 per parcel. The 2013 Budget that was adopted by the City Council includes an anticipated $45,000 in Traffic Calming Fees Revenue based on estimates received from DeKalb County. As we are going through the files received from the county, we are finding many parcels within the established districts that have not been properly billed for the traffic calming fee. As these parcels are being added and the files updated for submittal to the Tax Commissioner for this years assessment billing, we are getting a mor e accurate amount for the total street light assessment. We are still going through the files so we do not have a final

MEMORANDUM
ISSUE/AGENDA ITEM TITLE: A Resolution Providing for the Assessment of the Annual Cost of Maintaining and Operating Street Lights in Established Street Light Districts BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
Purpose The attached resolution for the City Councils consideration is for adopting the Street Light Fee Rate for established Street Light Districts in the City of Brookhaven for the 2013 tax year, adopt a street light fee rate for assessing non single-family residential parcels not already a part of established street light districts starting in the 2014 tax year, and direct the City Manager to audit the street light fees and costs on an annual basis, starting before adoption of the 2015 city budget, and make recommendations for adjustment of the street light fee rates. Background DeKalb County for many years, beginning in the 1950s, has had a residential street light program for the unincorporated areas of the county. Under this program, a street or group of street that desire to have street lights can petition the county to install street lights and agree to pay a fee, based on a rate per frontage foot, to cover the costs of maintenance and power on those lights. Before the City of Brookhaven was established, the county had established approximately 140 of these street light districts. The City of Brookhaven since its incorporation and has taken over the operation and maintenance of the public roads and streets within the city boundaries. As a part of this, the city has also agreed to take over the street lights and the established street light districts within the city. This includes taken responsibility for the cost of the power and maintenance of the street lights and the responsibilities for adding additional lights and establishing new street light districts. In order to cover the cost of the power, maintenance, and oversight of the street light program, the City of Brookhaven will need to assess and collect the street light fees that property owners had previously paid to DeKalb County annually as a Special Assessment Fee on their Property Tax Bills. The attached resolution adopts the assessment at the same rate that DeKalb assessed in the 2012 tax year. This rate varies for each established street light district. A table showing the rate and the streets included in each district is attached as well. The 2013 Budget that was adopted by the City Council includes an anticipated $320,000 in Street Light Fees Revenue. As we are going through the files received from DeKalb County, we are finding many parcels within the established districts that have not been properly billed for the street light fee. As these parcels are being added and the files updated for submittal to the Tax Commissioner for this years assessment billing, we are getting a more accurate amount for the total street light assessment. We are
Page 1

K.6
still going through the files so we do not have a final number, but based on what we have found so far, we expect the final assessment will exceed the budgeted amount. In addition to the established street light distracts, there are several streets inside the city that are no included in the established districts that have street lights. These are generally the major arterials such as Peachtree Street, Buford Highway, Clairmont Road, and North Druid Hills Road that primarily are fronted by commercial and multi-family properties. The City is responsible for paying for the cost of power and maintenance for these lights but the property owners along these roads are not assessed for the cost, even though they do receive some benefit from these lights along with the general traveling public. Commercial and Multi-family properties that are within the boundaries of established street light districts are assessed and have been paying street light fees. Section 2 of the attached resolution would assess a street light fee at $0.40 per frontage foot, equal to the lowest rate paid in any of the established districts, to the non single-family residential properties in the City not already included in established street light districts. This assessment would not take effect or be billed until the 2014 tax year and the 2014 property tax bills. Finally, Section 3 of the attached resolution directs the City Manager to make an audit of the fees and costs of the street light program annually and report to the City Council the results of the audit, starting before adoption of the 2015 budget. As part of the annual audit of the street light program, the City manager will make recommendation to the City Council, starting in the 2015 tax year, for adjustments to the assessed street light fee rates, including a reduction in the rate if so determined, so that the annual revenue of the program is in line with the annual anticipated cost of power and maintenance.

Consideration and Approval of the attached Resolution providing for the assessment of the annual cost of maintaining and operating street lights in established street light districts.
