October 13, 1986

CITY OF STOCKBRIDGE
HENRY COUNTY, GEORGIA OCTOBER 13, 1986

The regular meeting of the City Council was held October 13, 1986 at 7:00 p.m. with Mayor Kelley presiding
and members present were Harold Cochran, John Dabney, G. W. Evans, Ross McMichael and Ronnie
Simmons.

Minutes of previous meeting were approved.

Ruby Spangler, 131 East Atlanta Road, requested a conditional use variance to operate a day care center.
Mr. Bill Goodwin, 129 East Atlanta Road, is concerned that children will get over the fence and get into his
swimming pool. His pool is located adjacent to the proposed playground and he suggested it be moved to
the opposite side from him. Mrs. Spangler plans to meet with representative from the State for an inspection
of her property and asked Mr. Goodwin if he would like to be present. Motion was made by Ronnie Simmons
to table until after meeting with State, seconded by G. W. Evans, motion carried.

Motion was made by Harold Cochran to adopt the Henry County Planning and Zoning Ordinance and
Subdivision Ordinance, seconded by Ross McMichael and passed unanimously.

Richard L. McGuire, Old Conyers Road, requested a variance to build a house on 2.10 acres. His property
is landlocked and would have egress and ingress by the means of a 30-ft. easement given to his father
Charles McGuire by Herman O. Maness. Henry County will not recognize this easement as an easement to
Richard McGuire's property and therefore will not approve variance because Henry County has no regulation
that would allow them to grant a variance unless Mr. McGuire can get a warranty deed of ownership for a 30
ft wide driveway off Old Conyers Road. Mayor Kelley advised that he felt this would impose a hardship and
recommended the Council give Mr. McGuire every consideration in this matter. Motion was made by Ronnie
Simmons to grant Mr. McGuire a variance to construct a house on his property, seconded by John Dabney
and passed unanimously.

Mayor Kelley gave each member of the Council a copy of the 1987 proposed budget for their review and
recommendations.

Council instructed City Clerk to write Mr. John Carter, Jackson, GA to remove the trash and burned debris
from his property at Flippen Road and North Henry Boulevard.
G. W. Evans suggested the Council get a traffic study done for the intersection of Quarry Road and North
Henry Boulevard because he thinks a traffic light is needed at this location.

It was noted that the sign at the Nite Owl, North Henry at Tye Street, is on public right-of-way. W. A. Gardner
to notify they must move sign.

John Dabney stated that Gladys Trimble needs a streetlight in front of her house on Wilson Street. Mr.
Gardner to contact Georgia Power Company and have one installed if this location warrants a streetlight.

Eddie Buckholts, Fire Chief, gave a report on fire calls for the month.

Chief Buckholts also gave a report on the plans for the mini-Halloween Carnival to be held October 30 and
31 at the Fire Station. He noted that the emergency equipment will be parked at the end of Berry Street to
prevent them from being blocked in the event of an emergency.

Chief Buckhotls advised Council that he and the Fire Committee are progressing with plans to hire three
additional fire fighters.

Mary Shaw, The Crib, Tye Street, requested a beer license. It was noted that the location has been turned
down in the past because it is too close to Trinity Methodist Church. Motion was made by Harold Cochran
to table decision until location is checked out, seconded by G. W. Evans and passed unanimously.

Meeting adjourned 7:45 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,
Merle Manders R. G. Kelley
City Clerk Mayor
