CITY OF STOCKBRIDGE
HENRY COUNTY, GEORGIA JULY 9, 1991

The regular meeting of the Stockbridge City Council was held July 9, 1991 at 7:00 p.m. with Mayor Kelley
presiding and members present were Harold Cochran, John Dabney, G. W. Evans, W. A. Gardner and
Ronnie Simmons.

Motion to convene was made by Harold Cochran, seconded by John Dabney and passed unanimously.

Motion was made by W. A. Gardner to approve minutes of the June 10, 1991 City Council meeting, seconded
by Ronnie Simmons and passed unanimously.

Jack Greene and David Greene, Ansley Park Mobile Home Park, plan to develop adjacent property to enlarge
Ansley Park. A portion of the property to be developed involves the flood plain and wet lands. Mr. Greene
has already addressed the flood plain with Federal Emergency Management (FEMA). Mr. Greene must get
approval from the U. S. Corp of Engineers before he will be allowed to make any improvements to the wetland
portion of his property. Mr. Greene's purpose for meeting with the Council at this time is to determine if the
Council will oppose preliminary plans. Council advised Mr. Greene to make the desired changes and
resubmit to Henry County Community Development. If he meets all criteria and is approved by Henry County,
then the Council will be able to make a final decision at that time.

Jerry Sellers, 135 Rock Quarry Road, requested a variance of the front setback regulation to install his
modular office. The regulation required that his office be setback seventy feet from the front property line. If
Mr. sellers puts his office seventy feet from the property line, he will be too high to tap onto City sewerage.
Therefore, he is requesting a variance to place his office fifteen feet off the front property line. Motion was
made by Harold Cochran to grant variance, seconded by G. W. Evans and passed unanimously.

Vickie L Smith, 203 Oak Hill Circle, requested the City accept Oak Hill Circle as a City street. It was noted
that this street belongs to the owners of the condominiums and is designed more as a driveway and would
not meet City and county paving codes for a designated street. Motion was made by G. W. Evans to deny
request, seconded by W. A. Gardner and passed unanimously.

Georgia Municipal Association requested the City ratify appointments of Interlocal Risk Management Agency,
Board of Trustees with three-year term of office. These members will serve on the Board of Trustees to
oversee Georgia Municipal Association Risk Management Program. Motion was made by G. W. Evans to
authorize Mayor Kelley to sign Ratification of Officers, seconded by John Dabney and passed unanimously.

The Department of Natural Resources will require the City to prepare an annual report, Compliance
Maintenance Annual Program. The 1991 report has been compiled by Dan Dickson, Plant Operator and
must be approved by the City Council. Motion was made by Harold Cochran to authorize Mayor Kelley and
Clerk to sign report, seconded by W. A. Gardner and passed unanimously.

It was noted that the Georgia Department of Transportation inspects the drainage problem on Lake Terrace
and confirmed that surface water from North Henry Boulevard is not being drained into Christine Nelson's
Lake. Ted Strickland advised Council that he is making changes to convert the surface water from the
surrounding areas to drain in another direction away from Mrs. Nelson's lake but the City will not go on Mrs.
Nelson's property to make any changes. The changes to surrounding ditches and culverts should eliminate
Mrs. Nelson's problem.
