Water Conservation Ordinance (R2).docx
Springs, Georgia, by establishing Chapter 110, WATER CONSERVATION, to read as
follows:
Chapter 110
WATER CONSERVATION
Article I. In General
This chapter shall be cited as the Water Conservation Ordinance of the City of Sandy Springs,
Georgia.
The purpose of this chapter is to promote water conservation by establishing water use rules for
year round water conservation, to promote the efficient use of water, to reduce or eliminate the
waste of water in the City, and to enable implementation of the City’s water shortage
contingency measures.
The City hereby adopts by reference the outdoor water use rules mandated by the Georgia
Department of Natural Resources Environmental Protection Division (“EPD”), from time to
time, as the same may be modified by the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management
(the “EPD/Watershed Management Rules”). A copy of the current EPD/Watershed Management
Rules is incorporated herein by reference, and a current copy of the same shall be maintained in
the office of the City Clerk.
Sec. 110-4. Water conservation incentives. The City has developed and implemented
economic incentives for conservative water use, identified as the “City of Sandy Springs Water
Conservation Permit Incentive Program,” a copy of which will be maintained on file with the
City’s Department of Community Development.
Sec. 110-5. Additional water conservation measures. In addition to the water conservation
requirements established by this chapter, the City Manager or his or her designee is authorized to
develop and promulgate additional water conservation plans and measures which shall be
directed to achieve target goals for water conservation as determined by the City Council by
resolution from time to time.

Water Conservation Ordinance (R2).docx
Sec. 110-6. Rain Sensor Shut-off Switch required.
(a) As used in this Code section, the term "rain sensor shut-off switch" means an electric device
that detects and measures rainfall amounts and overrides the cycle of an irrigation system so as to
turn off such system when a predetermined amount of rain has fallen or whether the temperature
is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (zero degrees Celsius) or below.
(b)(1) No person shall install any landscape irrigation system equipped with an electronic
controller that does not have a rain sensor shut-off switch.
(2) Paragraph (1) of this subsection shall not apply to either landscape irrigation systems
installed on golf courses or any system dependent upon a nonpublic water source.
(c)(1) Any person who installs a landscape irrigation system equipped with an electronic
controller in violation of this Code section shall be liable for a civil penalty not exceeding
$100.00 per violation.
This article is not intended to modify or repeal any other chapter, rule, regulation, or other
provision of law. The requirements of this article are in addition to the requirements of any other
chapter, rule, regulation, or other provision of law, and where any provision of this article
imposes restrictions different from those imposed by any other chapter, rule, regulation, or other
provision of law, whichever provision is more restrictive or imposes higher protective standards
for human health or the environment shall control.
Any violation of the EPD/Watershed Management Rules in effect from time to time shall
constitute a violation of this Ordinance.
Approved:

Water Conservation Ordinance (R2).docx
Sec. 109-222. Applicability.
(a) Generally. This article shall apply to all land development activity on property containing a
stream protection area as defined in section 109-219. These requirements are in addition to, and
do not replace or supersede, any other applicable buffer requirements established under state law
and approval or exemption from these requirements do not constitute approval or exemption
from buffer requirements established under state law or from other applicable local, state or
federal regulations.
(b) Grandfathered provisions. This article shall not apply to the following activities:
(1) Work consisting of the repair or maintenance of any lawful use of land that is zoned and
approved for such use on or before the effective date of the ordinance from which this article is
derived.
(2) Existing development and ongoing land disturbance activities including but not limited to
existing agriculture, silviculture, landscaping, gardening and lawn maintenance, except that new
development or land disturbance activities on such properties will be subject to all applicable
buffer requirements.
(3) Any land development activity that is under construction, fully approved for development,
scheduled for permit approval or has been submitted for approval as of the effective date of the
ordinance from which this article is derived.
(4) Land development activity that has not been submitted for approval, but that is part of a
larger master development plan, such as for an office park or other phased development that has
been previously approved within two years of the effective date of the ordinance from which this
article is derived.
(c) Exemptions. The following specific activities are exempt from this article. Exemption of
these activities does not constitute an exemption for any other activity proposed on a property.
(1) Activities for the purpose of building one of the following:
a. A stream crossing by a driveway, transportation route or utility line;
b. Public water supply intake or public wastewater outfall structures;
c. Intrusions necessary to provide access to a property;
d. Public access facilities that must be on the water including boat ramps, docks, foot trails
leading directly to the river, fishing platforms and overlooks;
e. Unpaved foot trails and paths;
f. Activities to restore and enhance stream bank stability, vegetation, water quality and/or
aquatic habitat, so long as native vegetation and bioengineering techniques are used.
(2) Public sewer line easements paralleling the creek, except that all easements (permanent and
construction) and land disturbance should be at least 25 feet from the top of the bank. This
includes such impervious cover as is necessary for the operation and maintenance of the utility,
including but not limited to manholes, vents and valve structures. This exemption shall not be
construed as allowing the construction of roads, bike paths or other transportation routes in such
easements, regardless of paving material, except for access for the uses specifically cited in
subsection (c)(1) of this section.
(3) Land development activities within a right-of-way existing at the time this article takes
effect or approved under the terms of this article.
(4) Within an easement of any utility existing at the time this article takes effect or approved
under the terms of this article, land disturbance activities and such impervious cover as is
necessary for the operation and maintenance of the utility, including but not limited to manholes,
vents and valve structures.
(5) Emergency work necessary to preserve life or property. However, when emergency work is
performed under this section, the person performing it shall report such work to the city on the
next business day after commencement of the work. Within ten days thereafter, the person shall
apply for a permit and perform such work within such time period as may be determined by the
city to be reasonably necessary to correct any impairment such emergency work may have
caused to the water conveyance capacity, stability or water quality of the protection area.
(6) Forestry and silviculture activities on land that is zoned for forestry, silvicultural or
agricultural uses and are not incidental to other land development activity. If such activity results
in land disturbance in the buffer that would otherwise be prohibited, then no other land
disturbing activity other than normal forest management practices will be allowed on the entire
property for three years after the end of the activities that intruded on the buffer.
(7) After the effective date of the ordinance from which this article is derived, it shall apply to
new subdividing and platting activities.
(8) Projects defined in O.C.G.A. 12-7-17(3), as minor land disturbing activities that are exempt
from the Georgia Erosion and Sedimentation Act: “Such minor land disturbing activities as
home gardens and individual home landscaping, repairs, maintenance work, fences, and other
related activities which result in minor soil erosion”.
The following land-disturbing activities are examples of projects not specifically listed in
O.C.G.A. 12-7-17(3) that would be considered minor land-disturbing activities and therefore are
exempt from the Georgia Erosion and Sedimentation Act and the applicable buffer requirements
for State waters:
a. No more than 100 square feet of footprint of the elevated structure extends
into or over the buffer, with an exception for structures compliant with the
Americans with Disability Act (ADA);
b. No grading, cutting, filling or similar land-disturbing activities occurring as a
part of the site preparation, construction or subsequent development;
c. The structure is built on posts, concrete blocks and/or similar supports;
d. Permanent protective vegetative cover remains or protective measures (e.g.,
mulch, gravel) are installed within the footprint of the elevated structure to
prevent post-construction soil erosion;
e. A natural canopy is left in sufficient quantity to keep shade on the stream bed;
and
f. No concrete and/or asphalt slabs, pads or foundations constructed or placed as
a part of the site preparation, construction or subsequent development.
2. A pervious ground level walkway approach to a dock and/or similar structure,
provided:
a. No more than 100 square feet of the constructed walkway extends into the
buffer, with an exception for structures compliant with the Americans with
Disability Act (ADA);
b. No grading, cutting, filling or similar land-disturbing activities occurring as a
part of the site preparation, construction or subsequent development;
c. No concrete and/or asphalt slabs, pads, supports or foundations constructed or
placed as a part of the site preparation, construction or subsequent
development; and
d. All ground preparation and walkway material placement is completed with the
use of hand-held equipment.
5. Placement of rock riprap with the buffer not to exceed 100 square feet on any one
property, provided:
a. The placement of the rip-rap does not result in soil disturbance outside the
placement area; and

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Date: For Submission onto the February 2, 2010 City Council Work Session
Agenda Item: Assignment of Morgan Falls Office Park lease (“Assignment”) to the
Sandy Springs Public Facilities Authority (“Authority”) and sublease to
the City of Sandy Springs (“City”)
The City Attorney’s Office recommends that the City Council consider the attached
documents and, if acceptable, approve the sublease to the City.
A lease agreement for office space in the Morgan Falls Office Park (“Offices”) was
entered into between TSO Morgan Falls, LLC and CH2MHILL, Inc. on November 30,
2005, as amended March 24, 2006, December 14, 2006 and May 15, 2007 (the original
lease agreement and subsequent amendments is referred to together as the “Lease”).
The Lease anticipated that the City would eventually accept an assignment of the Lease
and that the City would assume the obligations of CH2MHILL under the Lease.
On December 18, 2007, the City Council considered and approved assignment of the
Lease to the City. The assignment was to be accomplished pursuant to the terms of a
lease assignment (the “Assignment of Lease”) from CH2MHILL to the City. The
approved Assignment of Lease anticipated that the City of Sandy Springs would accept
a direct assignment of the Lease and that it would assume the obligations of CH2MHILL
under the Lease, which has a term of over twelve (12) months.
Since the City cannot enter into a contractual arrangement to commit funds for a period
of longer than twelve (12) months except with another governmental agency, the City
Attorney proposed that the Authority accept an assignment of the Lease and enter into
a sublease agreement with the City. Therefore, pursuant to the terms of the attached
documents, the Authority will accept assignment of the Lease and will enter into a
sublease agreement (the “Sublease Agreement”) with the City. The City will sublease
the Offices from the Authority and will accept and perform all of the Authority’s
obligations under the Lease.
On March 8, 2008, City Council approved the form of sublease agreement that was
presented to it at that time. Revisions have been made, which are tracked in the
Sublease Agreement attached hereto. The City will also be responsible for the payment
of an assignment fee in the amount of $2,000.00, pursuant to applicable provisions of
the Lease.
Other documents that will be a part of the transaction are attached to this memo for your
information.
